    This is what I ran into!
    --------------------------------------------------------------------------

    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!

    And if the person to whom this was said to was smart, he would realize that the math is so wrong its not even funny. Furthermore he would correct said person and tell him that actually you are left with 65 whole days of work, and dammit, I AM taking one off!

    :)

    and just in case you were wondering:

    365 days - (52*2 weekends) - 9 holidays - 2 sick days - 10 vacation days =
    240 days of potential work

    240 * (8hrs of supposed work - 1.5hrs of lunch/break)/(24 hour potential work) = 65 days of work

    15 years ago, my boss at the time printed this and gave it to me when I asked for an extra day off to go to Palm springs for Spring Break.
    I just thought of it when my employee just asked for the weekend off to go to San Diego

    I didn't do the math but I kept thinking, "hmm ... in just THREE business days, that would equal 24 hours."
