Last time I applied, I filtered out anyone requiring 40h/week.
I now work 35h/week, with 42 days PTO I can (actually, have to) take.
Pay is for a full time position and supports my wife and me comfortably.
Flexibility is given, I just (at 8pm) told my team leader I won't be coming in tomorrow.
My resumé isn't exactly an HR department's dream, I got a BSc in Ecology when I was 31.

I guess what I'm trying to say is, what you're describing isn't normal. And it shouldn't, and doesn't have to be, either.

So where do you work?

edit: Though, based on some of the terms you used and the fact that you got a favorable employment agreement, I doubt it's a country that would consider me.
