GCA104, depends for how long and how tough you are.
I see you re from Italy, if living in one of the big cities served by qr, then I would say its doable for the bonding period. Having said that, you definitely will grow much older.
But forget the 7 on 5 off kind of deal. Its gonna be more something like 5 on 3 off - 4 on 1 off - 3 on 4 off -5 on 2 off and so on. If your only bidding is for the days off, then you might get lucky with a 5 or even 6 days off in a row in a month, but you cant count on it.
