Can’t tell if you are serious??

Just in case:
If you are on the 7/7 you work every other week, so you will be scheduled to work 26 weeks per year. If you have 2 weeks vacation you will work 24 weeks no matter how you take them. Were some people apparently get confused:
If you take the weeks separately, you will have 2 blocks of 21 days, if you take them “consecutively” you will have one block of 35 days, you don’t have to use any days off for the week in between you weren’t scheduled to work (similar to office workers getting 16 days off with 10 days vacation, not 12 days lost because weekends....). Also, while it seems like you have an extra week (42>35), you don’t, you just counting a normal scheduled week off as vacation:
If you are scheduled off on the odd weeks, and take vacation week 2 and 4, and work week 6 so you will work 7 days in 42 days.
If you take week 2 and 6 off, you work week 4, so 7 days off work also, and for both you go back to work week 8. No difference.

Math lesson over, grammar tomorrow.

Edit to add:

Obviously this is based only on 7/7, and the 35 day block on:
