Which means we're home for 20 or 21 days a month, and even though we're working 17 days, a bunch of those are late shows, or return home early. And when you're home, your HOME! No work to do at home at night (even for recurrent, just study on the road), no unexpected meetings, no crunch time projects that will require 16 hour days for 2 weeks straight. Its just a different way to work, and once you guys get used to it, you might even like it. You'll miss some birthdays, holidays, etc., which of course isn't fun, but the time off that this job will give me is unmatched just about anywhere.
