Ryan Carson challenges us to work a four-day week. I’m taking up the challenge, but slightly differently. Since I’ve come back from vacation I’ve been trying very hard to work only 40 hours in a week. I’m coming in early when the office is empty and quiet, staying until mid-afternoon to interface with coworkers and deal with the daily tasks and challenges, and then leaving promptly when I hit the 8 hour mark. Yesterday I stayed late accidentally, so today I came in late. Unfortunately I may find that I have to come in tomorrow for much of the day, in which case I’m going to try taking off the same amount of time on Monday. Well, if possible. Unfortunately Monday the new firewall rules are getting switched on… Ah well, it is a nice theory, anyway.
