I know it’s a joke, but that’s some IRS nigger math. UPDATE: The nerd in me had to work through this: We're going to start with a 365 day year, because why not? So, that's 365 days times 24 hours, so 8,760 hours in a year. Subtract out weekends, so 24 hours x 104 days, that's 2,496 removed. Evenings off is 16 hours - but wait, there's unpaid lunch (mentioned later), which means we have to take the hour from the off time, so 15 hours. Multiplied against the 261 remaining work days. However, there are also vacation days, sick days, holidays, and vacation mentioned below, so let's remove those (2 sick, 5 holidays, 14 vacation) and that leaves us with 240 work days for the multiplier, so 15 * 240 is 3,600. Lunch breaks are unpaid, so that's the other hour we mentioned a moment ago. We also now know there are 240 work days in the year when weekends, holidays, sick days and vacations are removed (although I don't know many people in the private sector with more than ten days). 1 hr x 240 days is 240 hours. Sick Days are 24 hours long, there are 2 of them, and we removed that number of days from the day counter already, so 24 x 2 is 48 hours. Holidays are 24 hours long, and there are five, so 24 x 5 is 120 hours. Vacations, I'm going with the plaque despite its lack of validity, so 24 x 14 is 336 hours. And then coffee breaks are .5 hours, and there are 240 workdays, so 240 x .5 = 120 All said, we then take 8,760 - Total Days, and subtract 2,496 - Weekends 3,600 - Evenings 240 - Lunch 48 - Sick 120 - Holidays 24 - Vacation 120 - Coffee Breaks This leaves us with 1800 hours worked. Thank you for letting me sperg out for a moment, and God bless.
