Is it Friday yet ? I might be starting to work Saturdays in a week or three. The extra money would be welcome but even now just having two off and five on seems offensive and unnecessary. I do value my time away from work even if I don't do a great deal at the weekend.
Sometimes I think of something half interesting that I could post here the next day, then that next day comes and I forget. I swear I've got lots of super interesting things to post but they're locked away in the bowls of my once active brain.

I'm sick of working tbh. I'd love to do 3 on, 4 off or something. Enough to keep your mind active and body moving, but more free time to do stuff you actually want to do. Also sick of wasting an hour of my life in each direction to/from work because everyone does everything at the same time. Staggered work days would be amazing. Why do we all work the same hours? It makes it literally impossible to do adult tasks like banking, or go to specialty stores you want to visit, or have qualified people do qualified things at your home without taking time off.
I'd love staggered work days... Some businesses doing like 6am to 2pm, some do 11am to 7pm or something. Get a nice overlap where you can actually do stuff. Supermarkets could do 24 hours in 3 x 8 hour shifts, none of which would have to be 100% night shift. I dunno. Just had enough of samesamesame.
I'm 100% in agreement with you on all of this. A few years ago I got a nine to five job only for two months thankfully. Damn it was far too hard to get anything done.
