meh, it's pretty standard, in this area, to have flexible schedules. Almost as standard as letting us ignore the dress code. As a young PFY, I had a supervisor (who never wore shoes.) tell me "I know we said we have a flexible schedule, but I'm going to have to put my foot down and ask you to be here by noon." And I think even that was 'cause I was the pfy; if I was good enough to not need guidance, they probably wouldn't even have gone that far.

And, as far as I can tell, that's how most valley jobs work. heck, I know guys who work for lockheed martin who keep odd schedules. (The guy I know complains that he gets dinged on performance reviews for showing up late, but meh, apparently he's otherwise good enough that they deal with it. We all have priorities.)
