Before you consider asking for the day off.....

[Puppy]

My sister gave this to my dad years ago, from a book office humour. I thought I'd share.


Before you ask me (well boss not me) for the day off, consider the following statistics.

There are 365 days in the year.
You sleep 8 hours a day making 122 days, which subtracted from 365 makes 243 days.
You have 8 hours of recreation every day making another 122 days and leaves a balance of 121 days.
There are 52 Sundays you do not work at all, which leaves 69 days.
You get Saturday afternoon off. This give 52 half days or 26 more days that you do not work. This leaves a balance of 43 days.
You get an hour off for lunch, which when totalled makes 16 days leaving 27 days of the year.
You get at least 21 days leave every year so that leaves 6 days.
You get 5 legal holidays during the year, which leaves only 1 day.


And I'll be damned if I give you that day off!!


I always get a laugh out of it... or mebbe it's just me.. anyway

I always laugh at that too.

One day, when I can be bothered, I'm going to do the maths to see how thay've figured that.

It works because it's subtracting time from the same days in a couple of ways.

For instance, sleep 8 hours a day (including Sundays), then subtract whole Sundays as well.

I was going to work it out properly and then realised I couldn't be bothered.

I've had three days off in the last two months, so I must be in the red :p
