Ever call in sick to play pool?....

Pool 101...

Planned or spontaneous, sometimes skipping work is required to play pool. I call this (Sick Pool). We must know Sick Pool fundamentals and it’s major hurtles.

First lets examine some basic statistics.

Work days 5 avg…hours 8 avg. Weekly hours 40 avg.
Maximum weekly hours available 168. WORK divided by MAX HOURS = 23.8% of our time is work.

Sleep days 7 avg…hours 6 avg. Weekly hours 42 avg.
Maximum weekly hours available 168. SLEEP divided by MAX HOUR = 25% of our time is sleeping.

At first glance over 50% of our time can be spent playing pool. 23.8 % work + 25% sleeping leaves 51.2% pool. Now I will show you the true hours available below and the need for Sick Pool.

Since most of us can not work when we sleep we must do the following…Max hours (168) minus Sleep hours (42), equals 126. This new number is awake hours. Now we use this new variable. WORK divided by AWAKE = 31.7%. So we quickly see that work just clawed an additional 13 hours or 8% of pool from our week.

Now we must recalculate the sleep percentage for another pool hour reductions. As established above Work and Sleep can not be done at the same time. So the following formula is required…Max hours (168) minus Work hours (40) equals 128 Avail Sleep Hours. So sleep really required 31.2% of our time. This is an additional net pool loss of 10.4 hours or 6.2%.

The Wife…or damnation of pool. Days 7...Hours 24. Weekly Hours 168.
Max weekly hours 168 divided by Wife Hours 168 = 100%.

Unfortunately Wife hours do overlap sleep, work and available hours. Since most of us have 2 weeks vacation, with the Wife taking 50 weeks planning what we are going to do for those 2 weeks…that leaves 5 sick days or 40 hours yearly or just 0.00457% of our time for pool…Sick isn’t it.

And if you have finished reading this…You could have been playing pool Stupid!!!

Chenz,

I always figured if you were gonna be a bear . . .

I always figured if you were gonna be a bear, you might as well be a big bear. I never called in sick to do something else, I called in and just told them I wouldn't be at work that day or exactly what I would be doing.

My boss did get a little annoyed one gorgeous Spring day. I called him and told him that I couldn't make it in because of the weather. "What do you mean, the weather is perfect!"

"Exactly, too damned nice to be cooped up in a chemical plant all day, see you tomorrow."
