A 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 two days off per week, leaving 251 days available for work. Since you spend 16 hours a day away from work, you have used up 170 days, leaving only 81 days available. You spend 30 minutes each day on coffee breaks, that accounts for 23 days a year leaving 68 days available. With a 1 hour lunch period each day, you have used up another 46 days, leaving only 22 days available. You normally spend 2 days sick per year, this now only leaves you 20 days available. You get 5 days public holidays a year, so your working time is now down to 15 days a year. We generously give you a 14 days vacation per year, which leaves only 1 day available for work. So if you think you are going to that day off, Are you out of your mind!!!
