i was doing some calculations today at work and realised that:
having 24 hours a day and 365 days, we all have 8760 hours.
... say, you are working 8.5 hours a day for 20 days a month = 170 hours, hence for one year, you worked = 2040 hours,
...which is only about 23% of your time!
for those fortunately or unfortunately in the same coy as me, we got lesser hours...
... 155 hours a month for a year = 1860 hours,
... which means we only worked about 21% of the time AND 2% lesser than everyone else!!!
that is assuming we have 4 weeks a month and NO OT. but wow, how come it seems like we are working our ass off all year round?
SO moral of story is, if work is just ~20% of your life, don't make it seem like such a chore! (and thats a self-reminder.)
