My friend, one of my nutty Russian female acquaintances, has a job at a place that sells contracts for a home water delivery company -- the five liter bottle kind of thing. She works for one week, about 12 hours a day, and then has a week off. (She is paid the grand total of about $200 a month for this, like most unskilled laborers of this sort.)
This isn't an uncommon sort of work pattern for shop clerk type work -- I inquired to her as to why this strange schedule might be popular, and she said that it was because when Russians have days off, they like to get drunk for a few solid days.
Having a day off here and there wouldn't be enough. They need a week to get shitfaced.
Isn't that cool?

It is a damn shame that all nationalities in the world dont share that drunken bender sentiment. 2 days is generally never enough to do things right.
