It hasn't been that much longer of a break for me (4 and a half day weekend), but new years doesn't usually have me going to several dinners like Christmas or Thanksgiving and I actually got some really good rest, but I'm extremely upset at the idea of going back to work, it doesn't help that I don't like my job, but I'm too the point that I want to breakdown and/or quit. I've had similar experiences in school, and I'm curious to see if others have this or just me

Wednesdays off is a game changer. Highly recommend. Kids are at school, spouse is at work, the time is for you.

Mon or Fri days off almost always turn into travel, where you lose 50-100% of your 'vacation' to transportation.

The mid-week break lets you have two mini-work-weeks without feeling like you're abandoning your team and you are able to stay aware of the work situation.

A month of Wednesdays is like a solid week off, except you don't have to cram a week into that last Friday and then figure out what happened on the Monday after.

Great description. I especially didn’t think about Mon/Fri turning into “travel days.” You really sold me on this!
