I love math.

  • Having a parttime job for one day in the week, and that one day coinciding with a national holiday, results in 0 hours worked, 7 hours paid.

  • Working the night shift the night before this national holiday, results in 8 hours worked, 16 hours paid.

  • Working an extra shift on a sunday, the day after the national holiday, and working overtime, too, resuts in 9 hours worked, 18 hours paid.
Recap:

Worked: 0 + 8 + 9 = 17 hrs.
Paid: 7 + 16 + 18 = 41 hrs.

Did I mention I love math?

Cheers

Holy shit - thank you.

And Hay, if lugging boxes around all day sounds like your kind of job, you really need to get your head fixed.

If I get 41 hours of pay for working 17 hours, I think I could survive it.

Heh, I got paid triple time for working the bank holiday on May 2nd, as it was both holiday and overtime pay :-)

Oh the joys of spending my bank holiday cooped up in the office reading the newspaper and not doing much actual work!!
