Take The Day Off
So you want the day off? Let's take a look at what you are asking for....
There are 365 days per year available for work.
There are 52 weeks per year in which you already have 2 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. That accounts for 23 days each year, leaving only 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 2 days per year on sick leave. This leaves you only 20 days available for work.
We are off for 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days.
We generously give you 14 days vacation per year, which leaves only 1 day available for work, and I'll be Damned if you're going to take that day off!!!

There is something VERY VERY wrong with the math! Starting with the concept of 8 hour work days. They're a myth! Like the unicorn they've vanished into the mists of time!

There is something VERY VERY wrong with the math! Starting with the concept of 8 hour work days. They're a myth! Like the unicorn they've vanished into the mists of time! Actually, if you read it correctly, it says that you are AWAY from work for 16 hours, meaning you are spending 8 hours at work but you don't work those 8 hours straight through... Then it says, the person spends 30 minutes on a coffee break AND one hour for lunch, leaving the time for purely working at 6 1/2 hours. I wish... LOL
