One Day A Year ?????

[JohnJ]

Saw this on a poster today - Made me smile so thought I would pass it on :)

[COLOR="Blue"]BEFORE YOU ASK ME FOR A DAY OFF, CONSIDER THE FOLLOWING STATISTICS :

There are 365 days in the year.
You sleep eight hours a day making 122 days, which subtracted from 365 days leaves 243 days.

You also have 8 hours recreation every day making another 122 days leaving a balance of 121 days.
There are 52 Sundays that you do not work at all, which leaves 69 days.

You get Saturday afternoon off. This gives 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 leaving 6 days.
You get 5 legal holidays during the year that leaves only one day.

AND I'LL BE DAMNED IF I'LL GIVE YOU THAT ONE DAY OFF.[/COLOR]

I'm afraid I would have picked that to pieces if anyone aimed it at me! Maths is my strong point!

(I'll let you all try and figure out where the issues are. ;) I'm not making life easy for you!)

Ummm Have pondered my reply and can't think of a polite one suitable for this Forum, suffice to say I liked the logic and the guys that work for me are still scratching their heads about why they're at work!!!!

i could pick at it too, and i see where the maths are tricking you... i could do that, but instead i will sit back and chuckle at it, because its pretty damn funny, and my boss will love it lol:cheers2:

One of the greatest engineers that I ever had the pleasure of working for (Tony Rudd at Lotus) had the following plaque on his desk:

"Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and enthusiasm"

Sorry for drifting the thread and all that..

I think most people would take it at face value and wonder why they're still at work if they "only work one day" - however, I'm very analytically minded and pick things to pieces without even thinking about it. :)
It's still crazy funny to see people scratching their heads!

That is a funny statement :) But It's a whole different story if you work it out in hours as opposed to 'days' as when you book a days holiday it is only going to be 7 hours and not 24 ;)

So somebody who works 35 hours a week (this is after the break is taken off) that means they work 1820 hours per year or 75 'full' days.


Cheers Grant.:cheers2:
