21MadFan Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I was just wondering how many people on here are unfortunatly not able to watch skins games cause you are at work :doh:. I remember a few years back I had to work on Sundays and it was just god awful. I was still able to listen to the games on the radio but it just was not the same. If there are any out there I know what you are going through and stay strong. I am praying for you. :halo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins4SB Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I used to be one of them and I had to listen to the games on the radio. There was one time I heard a game vs the Eagles with an Eagles fan working with me. It was non-stop trash talk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Advice to those who have to work Sunday and are going to miss the Skins game: Just quit... a little lost income is nothing compared to missing out on the thrill of watching your Redskins put a beat-down on the Giants.

illone Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Thank god for TIVO because I will be working on Sundays for this entire season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Any job I apply to or interview with I tell them I can't work Sundays because of religious reasons. Thankfully, I'm working at my school now and we are closed on Sundays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IONTOP Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 From February until September, I usually put "I can work Sunday-Saturday, anytime" unless I've got some random thing I need to do... Come football season I throw it in my boss' face, "Hey, I need sunday's off, I didn't regularly ask for days off from the end of the season until now, so, work with me" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McSkin30 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I used to have to go door to door during election season introducing candidates to voters. I wore my Skins jersey every Sunday with an old-school FM corded radio tuned in to the games. You could see me walking down the street and randomly throwing my hands into the air or my face into my hands. Mostly the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BristowSkinsFan Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I used to be a waiter at O'Toole's in Centreville. ALWAYS had to woks freakin Sunday Brunch, even though I usually got home from working the Saturday night before at around 3am... Anyway, at least they had a projection TV to show games during the day but I could only watch for a minute or two before a manager would come along and move me along. Those days sucked - I am never working Sundays again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rexrode21 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I just accepted a new hotel management position and I have to work weekends. So I'm stressing, but I already looked and will be able to see 11 of the games thanks to DVR. So nobody send me an email or text with the score!

CPortJGibbs89 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 I almost got a job where I would have to work Sundays and I was freaking out. I figured I would just use DVR and tell everyone to shut the hell up until I watched the game. Luckily I got a job where I never have to work Sundays.

wshngtn1 Posted September 10, 2009 Share Posted September 10, 2009 Get Sunday Ticket and an iPhone and you're set. All games are streamed live to your iPhone with the new NFL Video app. Of course this could be a huge initial investment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

redskin faithful Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 Sunday is my regular day off but usually have to work my weekends during fire season. I have a sirius radio to listen to the games on the road but rarely get a chance to sit by the radio @ gametime. Things slow down towards the end of November so thats when I'm able to catch the games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCSkinzFan Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I am a Marine stationed in Okinawa, Japan. All games come on here monday mornings when i wake up to go to work. However i took Special Liberty ( Military term for time away from work) so that I could watch the game. HTTR...Kick some Giant *****!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaxBuddy21 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 My brother gets stuck working during the games. I feel bad for him but at least he has DVR now. He will be home for the game this week though! I fortunately never have to work a weekend! My biggest decision is which big screen tv to watch the game on!

cphil006 Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I used to work at a marina, so I'd carry around a radio and listen to the game and picture in my head. Every time a penalty was called against the 'skins, I would picture that it was a perfect play and a bogus call. Well, I do that with biased eyes anyway when I watch them. Needless to say, that was during my college years, so now that I am in the "real" world, I have to travel frequently, so I plan my flights to either arrive before the game starts, or depart after the game ends... it can be tough sometimes, but this weekend I'm home and watching it on HD.... what!?!?

TheRedfishCo Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 If you are at work/away with a comp and internet you can always find a website that streams the games. The majority of the games are streamed...quality is decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
