I haven't done well with work in a couple of years. Working part-time would be ideal, but I can't afford to. Full-time takes too much out of me and all I want to do on my days off is collapse in the La-Z-Boy and veg out.

I think 4 days a week would be just about right. It's not the 40-hour week I have a problem with, it's the five-day week. I used to do 10-hour days and I liked it. That fifth day is what gets me---by Friday I just don't have anything left to give. So I'm looking for something that will give me flexible hours and a four-day schedule; maybe then I'll be able to survive until I can retire.
