Actually, I threw in the 6/2 work/non-work days without really thinking
about it.  The true binary chauvinist would work 4 days then get off
4 days (or perhaps work every other day).  However, s/he would also 
work 8 hours and get 8 off on those days that were worked.  Lazy people
(which you appear to be :-) can work 4 hours and take 12 off.
