of labour

From a recent email I got...if your in Archi or any other job that requires more than normal working hours you can start to laugh now...

Tired Of Working ?

The Year Is Made Up Of 365 Days,

Each Having 24 Hours, 12 Of Which Are Night Time,

Which Adds Up To A Total Of 182 Days.

This Leaves You With 183 Days To Work.

Minus Away 52 Sundays, This Leaves You 131 Days To Work.

Minus Another 52 Saturdays, This Leaves You 79 Days Left To Work.

Considering 3 Hours Each Day Are Set Aside For Eating,

1 Hour For Bathing And Going To The Washroom,

Total Adds Up To 60 Days, Which Leaves You Only 19 Days Left For Work !

You Are Entitled To 14 Days For Your Vacation Each Year,

Which Means Only 5 Days Are Left For Work.

Minus 4 Days Which You Usually Take Off Due To Illness Or Laziness,

Which Leave You Only ONE Day Left For Work !!!!

Which Happens To Be LABOUR DAY !!!!!!!!!!

Which Is A HOLIDAY !!!!

So Why Are You Tired Of Working ???


So if your in architecture school here's how its proven wrong.

We work around the clock which means we can't tell the difference between night and day especially when it comes to working in studios, thus line 3 to 5 is wrong.

Saturdays and Sundays are spent in studio when datelines are near (or far) which makes line 5 and 6 more useless than a broken Olfa blade.

We eat and do work at the same time... our heads are thinking about work as we eat, heck sometimes I even draw inspiration from the random placement of my food, the stacked up roti prata that I will one day be building. That makes line 7 as false as the paintwork on the shophouses in China Square.

If you spend enough time in studio you know that the toilets suck and we don't have time to bathe. Line 8 is weaker than a 10mm wooden strut supporting a 5 inch concrete floor slab.

Vacations are meant to catch up on neglected building science notes and sickness is just a hurdle cured by panadol and ____ (insert favorite booster drink). That makes line 10 to 12 more useless than a HDB bomb shelter.

taddaa! load of crap hur what free day? what me tired? like friggin duh? and yet i still love Archi! woohoo
