A Day Off
Categories: Humor
So, you want the day off?
Let's take a moment to look at what you are asking for.
- There are 365 days available for work.
- There are 52 weeks per year of which you already have 2 days off each weekend, leaving 261 days left available for work.
- Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work that accounts for 170 days. There are 91 left available for work.
- You spend 30 minutes each day on breaks that accounts for 23 days a year, leaving 68 days available for work.
- You spend 1 hour a day at lunch, that that accounts for another 46 days per year leaving 22 days available for work.
- You spend 2 days per year on sick leave, leaving 20 days available for work.
- You take 9 holidays per year, leaving 11 days available for work.
- You take 10 days vacation each year, leaving 1 day left available for work.
NO WAY are you getting that day off!

Re: A Day Off
So you're saying the 8*5*52=2080 hrs (86.67 full 24 hour days; apx 260 8hr days) each year that I spend at work don't actually happen.
thats freaky! Some kind of twilight zone type thing.
seriously though, that is a funny way to look at it.

Re: A Day Off
admittedly, the math is a little flawed ;)

Re: A Day Off
Up until line 3 the math is accurate. It calculates exactly how many hours you are working by saying that you have 91 days of work multiplied by 24 hours (2184 hours a year).
However, after that it goes astray by saying things like "You spend 2 days per year on sick leave" when what it's implying is 16 hours, but in fact its subtracting 48 hours from the total (see how it tricked you? :)).
Still, I was laughing pretty hard. Its a good one :).
