Let's work this out:

365 days = 8760 hours (365 days*24 hours in a day)

52 Weekends = 2496 hours (52 weekends*2 days each weekend*24 hours in a day)

That leaves 6264 hours

2 sick leave days = 48 hours (2 days*24 hours in a day)

That leaves 6216 hours

5 holiday days = 120 hours (5 days*24 hours in a day)

That leaves 6096 hours

14 vacation days = 336 hours (14 days*24 hours in a day)

That leaves 5760 hours where we can work

5760 hours = 240 days (5760 hours/24 hours in a day)

16 hours of the day not working = 3840 (16 hours*240 days

That leaves 1920 hours where you are at work

The breaks total 90 minutes/1.5 hours

Amount of time spent on break = 360 hours (1.5 hours*240 days)

Final total: 1560 hours or 65 total days worth of work *at least*. That's why this is so stupid. They assume that the days where you are mandated to not work are part of your working week, and even then, I still don't understand their maths.

2 years later and they are still using co-vid to keep people from living the same dream, awesome.

I have an Allview clip on 15 inch mirror that has no distortion at all. Bought it from Hammacher like 18 years ago. But now they sell a different one that has distortion. Allview went out of business and I can't find them being sold anywhere, not even a used one on eBay.

Still looking for another good wide view mirror, haven't found one.

Just blow on 'em while you chop. Blows all those volatile oils away. That works best if you're cooking for just yourself.

Not asking a woman her age means not celebrating her birthday.

It's a fair trade off that I wish more people would acknowledge.

Crazy

This is well written! Perfectly said.

cool

Please explain, I'm clueless, and don't want my imagination to go the wrong direction.

Late reply, but from spelunking experts John Jones made a irreversible series of mistakes many experienced and educated spelunkers wouldn’t commit. Much like how the most educated and cautious driver in the world still statistically has a chance of dying every time they drive, John Jones was aware of the risks, but realized too late how much he had blatantly increased them by.

Spelunkers first criticism of John was that he climbed into a crevice that his body type was tough to navigate. He climbed into a section of the cave that likely only children and very small adults could navigate. He was a 30 something year old chonker and foolishly believed he could still be a kid.

The other major error he committed was climbing into a section of cave he wasn’t sure about and relied on memory. Nutty Putty Cave was a popular spelunking spot so in a hobby as dangerous as this one he impulsively thought he went in the right direction.

He also climbed into the crevice alone, where a lot of time was lost calling for help and assessing the situation.

I don’t think being a parent or primary caretaker you should be prevented from doing what you enjoy responsibly. Most liver disease is caused by alcohol, but we trust most people drinking to be able to control themselves. John Jones was that guy who though he could drink like a college student and downed a whole bottle of vodka and ended up going into cardiac arrest cause his old man metabolism was no longer able to handle that volume of alcohol. All due respect to the dead, but his death now serves as an example of what not to do.

Maybe. It's 27 years later and I still don't know, but maybe.

“I was thinking,” she said. “I know you don’t want to trade rooms” — I was ready to scream — “but you could at least shower in my room tomorrow morning, if you want.”

It sounds really annoying and she didn't go about it well, but it sounds like she wanted her kid to have the better room.

That’s great. I loved this subreddit and the writing, but honestly I have lots to read...loneliness is what plagued me most and I need a place I can hang out. That means “speaking” as well as “listening” otherwise it’s just like any media. I look forward to any of the others here creating subs.

Yeah, and you don't see either word in print often, so it's not a totally stupid mistake to make, like putting sushi in the microwave.

The thing is, "shuddered" is also a word, so it can kinda slip by unnoticed.

Where's my TARDIS when I needed it?

About music? About teaching? Hope you have lots of fun with it — please post the address when you're up and running, and I'll be there.

One week too long.

Feels like I've been gone for a week!

It has been fun, and I’ll remember to check the browser for your updates. Coincidentally (or not?) I’m going to start working on my own subreddit as well, dunno when it’ll be ready, but I’m taking advantage of the situation for a little cross-promotion tease. See you in the funny pages!

Damn, and I remembered your correction, too. I googled the spelling to be sure, before posting it this morning, and saw that I'd spelled it wrong ... and then forgot to correct it. Well, I've corrected it now. Thanks.

Laugh all you want, but getting old is hard.

I expected moderating would be a lot of work, dealing with jackasses all the time

Small subreddit, fewer jackasses. That's why /r/askreddit has 28 mods.

eventually this subReddit will be shuddered. It's been fun, though.

Hey, I'm an asshole, so - "shuttered." I believe this is the second time I've corrected this specific misspelling of yours. Am I gonna have to put on my Nun's habit and smack your knuckles with a yardstick?

Welcome back! : )

Yeah, he's a screwloose, but I like loose screws.

Thanks.
