"The Great Proposal Argument" by Tommy Gray discussed the eight hour workday in opposition to a ten hour workday.  According to Tommy Gray, the proposal the argument is always the same... "Eight is better than ten or twelve" (Gray). Each different proposal or argument states statistics, facts, and figures all pointed the outcome of eight hours being the optimal workday time period.  I understand that ultimately some circumstances of logistical conditions do not permit the eight hour day to be advocated in every forum but ultimately Tommy Gray does support it.  I am not sure that I agree with his opinion.  I have a variable work schedule due to military service.  Some weeks, I have worked away from home the entire week (and even months and year). At other times, I have worked a forty hour week in four days. 
I do not advocate that this working period is an ultimate goal for others or even me. I know my chosen military commitment is not a typical work place or time period.  However, I prefer a work schedule of four ten hour days.  I have a three day weekend and can rest, relax, and recharge in this time period.
