Maybe Kevin can help you add up the days.
By the same reckoning, Joe Shlabotnik, who works down at the widget factory, also gets 4 months off per year:
52 weekends: 104 days.
Two weeks' paid vacation (at least): 10 days (I'm not Tom, so I won't count the two relevant weekends twice)
Sick leave: 1 day per month (usually): 12 days
Federal and state holidays that don't fall on a weekend: 8 days, average
134 days. More like 4 1/2 months.
I'd point out that teachers' weekends, during the school year, are often consumed by work, but you'd just sneer at that in your silly ignorance. Joe gets to go home from the factory, crack open a beer, and watch the game. Teachers take home tons of work on the average weekend. Even if you foolishly deny that, it's true.
