What days should I work?

[Catastrophic]

I would do Friday monday tuesday. That way you get your wed/thur and then a sat sun every know and then ;D

I would do Mon, Wed Thursday, for the public holiday reason, as well as that way you can get some longer weekends with the Friday, Sat Sun in there and having at least 2 of the days in a row means that if you are having a bad week at least it won't drag on!! A bit different but I worked a Monday and Thursday the other week (normally Wed,Thur) and although I liked having worked one day and then having a few off it meant the week really dragged on for me!

^yeah that

I do monday, friday and saturdays. Mondays for the paid day off work

I would do Mon, Tues, Thur - that way you get public hols and a long weekend most of the time.

[Maruschke]

Mondays for the extra public holidays, then wed/thur so that you always have a long weekend

I agree with Maruschke

I used to do Mon, Tues, Fri at work. It was great. Like two weekends. Fridays are great to work, especially after a break, because everyone is feeling "Friday" and winding down whereas you're feeling ready to go, so you look super-productive but still get the long lunch and can knock off early.

Because part-timers often get public holidays taken out of their slightly increased annual leave (or at least they do in places I have worked), I'd say Tues, Weds, Fri would be your best option. You get the long weekend (and a weekend if you work the Sat that week), only work two days in a row max AND don't have to tiptoe around the house when your DH is recovering from nights.

Other consideration for me: what day is payday? Elect not to work that day. Cos then you get money coming into the bank when you're sat at home doing no work. I love that feeling.
