Okay, you want to count things from the prospective of an office worker.
Right now, the average line at envoy is 4-four day trips for about 300 hours time away from base. Now, to make the comparison closer we have a non-commuter who lives 30 minutes from the employee lot, who then has to ride the slow employee bus and then deal with TSA, which brings it closer to 320 hours time away from home.
The office worker has 4-five day work weeks. Let's assume he is a go-getter and puts in 10 hour days. That's 200 hours at work per month. But he has to drive to work every day. Assuming the same drive time, only our office worker gets to park in front of his office, we are up to 220 hours away from home every month.
I doubt the boss is going to call you enough to fill the 100 hour gap.
