the entry that debunks the myth about working

the year is made up of 365 days, each day consisting of 24 hours, 12 of which are night non-working hours that adds up to a total of 182 days.

thus, it leaves one with 183 days to work. minus 52 sundays and minus another 52 saturdays as well, that would leave one with 79 days to work.

3 hours each day are set aside for eating, and 1 hour for bathing, toilet visitations. that would add up to approximately 60 days, which means there's only 19 days for working.

one's usually entitled to 14 days for vacations, that means one would have only 5 days left for your work. minus away another 4 days one usually takes off due to illnesses or other emergencies, and that would leave one with only one day to work, which happens to be labour day, which is a holiday.

so, why are you still tired?

oohhh..lets see....
maybe coz during sat and sun and not forgetting fri nights most of us would be having a night out and partying? or doing other naughty things....

and besides there a lot of travelling done. take bus, drive car, walk to toilet to take a dump. its all very taxing ;P

Fundamentally incorrect as you double counted the 3 hours each day set aside for eating as well as the 1 hour for bathing, toilet visitations. You should only calculate these 4hrs for the working days only: (4+1)*79/24= 13 days only......

You still hv 47 days to blah blah blah with.....

(fuzzlee-co) your nick is pretty unique as well. what's the story behind it?

(kp) i am pretty sure then that takes up more than the usual in your case, considering how notti you can potentially be.

(m.a.d.) technically right, but let's skip over the minute details and enjoy the beauty of it. you're one sharp guy. hehe. props to you!

(bryan) i want to get the connector that will allow cars to play mp3 from the ipod nano thru the use of the car's cigarette lighter. how much is that?

(leo) it's a replication, and in fact, like what m.a.d said, it's fundamentally incorrect. but if it were to be, isn't it great?

(763092) haha, we'd be kicking ourselves in the pants if such a system existed elsewhere in the world.

the equation is totally wrong, u have already minus off the half sat n sun that make up the 182 days.

tt means u can only minus off another 52days of Sat&Sun which leaves u 131 days to work.
