Guaranteed to Roll Your Eyes
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 fron 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
and I’ll be darned if you are going to take that day off! 😳😳😎
Tuesday’s’ Movie Trivia of the day! What movie is this quote from??? “
“You’re an embarrassment to nature, do you know that?
Answer: Ice Age!
“Ice Age” features the unlikely combination of a big, fat, grumpy Woolly Mammoth named Manny, a funny but slow-witted Sloth named Sid and a menacing Sabre-Toothed Cat named Deigo, who team up in an effort to return a human baby to his family. Manny says this because Sid looks so ridiculous trying to climb up the side of a cliff while carrying the human baby.
