I've never had a job where they had a problem with 4 10hour days...as
long as I came in the Friday to finish the week (grin)
Seriously...During my searching for jobs, I'd alwasys make it clear that
the reason I wanted to be a contractor instead of an employee was so
that I'd get paid for the overtime that i knew would be required to meet
