There are 365 lays in the year. First you sleep 8 hours a day,
or one third of the time, which amounts to 122 days. 122 from 365
leaves 243. 8 hours per day, equivalent to 122 days, you spend in
recreation or at least outside your office. Take 122 from 243 and
you have left 121 days.
There are 52 Sundays. Subtract 52 from 121 and it leaves 69 days.
There are also 52 half days on Saturday that you have off, or 26
days more away from work. 26 from 69 43. Then you spend an hour
and a half every day at lunch. An hour and a half a day for 5 days
a week during the year equals 16 days. 16 from 43 leaves 27.
So you have 27 full days out of the 365 that you really work.
But you have also 3 weeks or 21 days vacation - 21 from 27 leaves 6
besides there are 6 holidays - Hew Year-Christmas - Washington's
Birthday - Fourth of July - Columbus Bay and Thanksgiving.
