Sci Fi Story

I recently hired on to work in Alaska on a rotation. This means that I work 20 days on and get 10 days off. My boss gave me his explanation of the 20 and 10 rotation. He says that the day I come up here is not a work day, but merely my day off. I should then work 20 days, and the day I depart is my day off. Ok, simple math 20 and 10 right, wrong. Let me explain...

Working in Alaska you must get to the worksite. This is done by a chartered flight to the North Slope (meaning all land north of the Brooks Range Mountains. I live in Wisconsin, and therefore must travel all day to get to Anchorage, Alaska only to get on the earliest flight the next day (my last day off). This is repeated in the opposite direction. Therefore as my boss believes the 20/10, I see his view as 22/8...and when you count the travel days on my days off (yes, the company makes the travel plans for me as early as possible 6 AM with plenty of layover time) I actually am working on a 24/6 rotation. Hmm, me thinks this is a losing proposition.
