I love a funny office joke and I found this in a customers office. He was kind enough to make me a copy. Thanks Steve
- So you want a 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 which counts for 23 days each year, leaving only 68 days available.
- With a 1 hour lunch each day, you 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 per year available for work.
- We are off 5 holidays per year, so your available working time is down to 15 days.
- We generously give 14 days vacation per year which leaves only 1 day available for work.
- There’s no way I’ll let you take that day off!
