Current Events > So you want the day off?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Do you understand what you are asking for? There are 365 days available per year for work. There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have two days off per week, leaving 261 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours each day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 91 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee break, which accounts for 23 days each year leaving 68 days available. With a one hour lunch period each day, you have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available for work. You normally spend two days per year on sick leave. This leaves 20 days available for work. We are off 5 holidays per year, so your work time is now down to 15 days. Subtract two weeks annual vacation leaving only one day and I'll be danged if you can have it off!

well, I have over 1000 hours in leave time to burn or I'll lose it. So I'm taking my days off

It seems like you already factored in my time off
so thank you

Is my math wrong or is the copypasta's math wrong?

260 days, right? 5 * 365

87 (rounded up)

260 * 24 = 6240
260 * 16 = 4160
(6240 - 4160) / 24 = 86.666666~

85 days. This one I'm guessing is just incredibly wrong either by me or the writer? I got two days difference, they got twenty-three.

87 * 24 * 60 = 125280
87 * 30 = 2610
(125280 - 2610) / 60 / 24 = 85.1875

Subtract 3.5 days (I'll call it four), leaving 81 days.

Then take off the 21 days and you have 60 days. Which you put back into hours and split into eight hour workdays means you have 180 workdays.

I know it's bullshit regardless, I just wanted to see if I could figure out the bullshit and I'm not sure I did it right. I'm just garbage at math.

im supposed to have a 30min break at work that isnt paid, but I never get to take it
