You work 9 (nine) calendar days out of 14 (fourteen). :sad: That's what I've been told. :crazy:

Alternate 4 and 5 day weeks over a 4 week cycle giving you a 4 day break every 4th weekend - there was a plot for it posted a couple of weeks ago if anyone can post the link to it.
We wish to serve - but we will not be servile
