3 day weekends - it just feels right

So, I got to thinking this morning (channeling Carrie) that 3-day weekends are actually quite a good thing. Just off the August bank holiday I found that I had time to spend with my family, time to do some work and get the jump on items for next week, and time to do those boring chores like clear out the vaults under the road...

And then I saw this poll at Lifehacker and I was very surprised by the numbers.

I am in the Yes camp - but maybe when that's the norm, and one is pushing 14-16 hours on a 10 hour day rather than 11-13 on an 8 maybe it wouldn't be so sweet.
