    I only work part-time, so my working week consists of 2 days and my weekend is 5 days. This I believe is quite reasonable.


    Peter.

    BTW on the days I do work I always get home by 4.00 pm.

    Like Barry, I've recently retired and frankly, I don't know how I ever found time to go to work.

    Hahahahahahah

    I work a nine day fortnight (Energy Supply Industry Standard) which is every second Friday off = Good. What I add to this is the alternate Friday that I should have worked I take as annual leave = Great.

    I started off with the company owing me 40 days annual leave about 12 to 18 months ago and I still have about 30 days owing.

    I get 0.384 of a day in leave per week and I use 1 day per fortnight earning leave at 2 x 0.38 = 0.77 days, leaving a loss of 0.27 days per fortnight. 40/0.27 = 148 fortnights or 5.7 years before I run out of leave.

    Then I'll start taking long service leave

    Check your maths.

    1 - .77 = .23, not .27

    so 40/0.23 = 173 fortnights or 6.7 years. Even better.

    The term 'grammar nazi' was invented to make people, who don't know their grammar, feel OK about being uneducated.
