Reply #98: You Have To Know What To Count

First use of the term I have seen -- 24 business hours
Does that mean, assuming an eight hour American workday, that he has three work days?

Well, "business hours" don't include lunch hour, coffee breaks, shooting the breeze around the water cooler, photocopying your butt, daydreaming, et cetera. "24 business hours" could extend almost indefinitely. The put-up-or-shut-up moment of truth is somewhere in the indefinite future, like the Second Coming of Christ or the establishment of a friendly and self-sufficient government in Iraq.
