"Day off" is subjective. Did I have to get up early and work all day? No. Did I have miss any meals with the family? No. Was I able to spend every hour of daylight at home doing whatever I wanted? Yes....saved the beer for after landing at midnight.
I got paid 5 tfp to work 1 leg after the kids were asleep....best time spent at work I've had here are those kind of trips. I'd much rather my time at home be maximized than my time in a hotel. For a local....best trips we have.

As a FO going home I'd usually be in my car leaving the lot within 15 min of block in. Takes a little longer now as a CA on a terminator...but it's way quicker than the train/hotel slog.

I don’t count off days if any duty period is in there.

I park airside...10 min from car to terminal and vice versa. Takes me 45 min to drive home...usually an hour from gate to driveway. 9 pm show and I leave the house at 7:45-8 pm. No traffic at that time of night so I don't have to deal with rush hour like AMers and some PMers do.

Dear lord. I was just saying that when you start work at 2100L, it feels like a day off. Leave it to the APC mafia to come and bludgeon someone with a lead pipe for saying it. I think we all realize it's a work day every time we turn a wheel. Some workdays are better than others.
