Drakkhim Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Tomorrow is the AFC/NFC Championship games... now, I have plenty of sick time to cover my, "Illness," but I don't want to work tomorrow, cause I'm going to miss the big games. Well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inmate running the asylum Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Call in sick. Tell your boss you got mad cow disease symptoms. And you can prove it. :laugh: :pooh: :moon: :pooh: :pooh: :pooh: :pooh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost of Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 LOL, dude, I can't believe that last week you didn't look up the schedule for the NFC/AFC Title games and didn't request it off specifically! That's what I did--I told them during football season(though I ended up working on most Sundays anyway) to not schedule me during a certain time---they got women for that.

Pete Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 It's apauling what America's youth has come to in the work ethics dept. Such tough choices. Do I blow off the day to watch the Championship games, and cause others to cover for me, making their day go worse. Do I go in, and catch highlights and read up on the board after work. When I was in my mid 20's, this was a no brainer. Blow the day off you putz :laugh: :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Sassy Molassy Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Hell yeah you better call in! I'd do it if I weren't off today. It's a disservice to this country if you go in, call in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riggins44 Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 You are asking a workaholic and an employer. Guess I'm old school and would go to work and not leave my employer short handed or in a bind. Just ask yourself what would you want someone to do if you were the boss.

Tarhog Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Doesn't the Carolina/Iggles game start at 6pm? What the hell kind of job do you have Drak? Oh. And call in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom [Giants fan] Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 Just think of it this way, if the Eagles win, you will actually be sick so it won't be a total lie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakkhim Posted January 18, 2004 Author Share Posted January 18, 2004 I work for the cable company and I work in a call center, taking repair calls for cable boxes and cable modems. I work 230-1100pm... so, you see the dilemma. I called in sick, laid on the snob story, and all as well. I work weekends, and it's nice to have at least one weekend day off, and this is usually how I have to do it or schedule a vacation day. I've been there for about seven months, it's probably going to be up to a year or so before I get *1* weekend day off... Missing football games this year wasn't all that great, and with the great year coming up, looks like it's going to happen again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Diesel Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I was scheduled to work from 10:00am to 10:00pm today/night. I called last night and left a message on my sup's voicemail -- "I won't be in tomorrow....have some personal matters to attend to". But see....I just put in my two weeks notice last week b/c I'm starting a new job. So I don't care if they fire me anyway. I pretty much said that in the message too -- "Please call if there's a problem...if I don't hear from you I'll be in tomorrow." The best thing about it is that I've got over 50 hours vacation time, which they pay you for when you leave. So I can go to work...I can blow it off...I can do whatever I want to do and get PAID for it either way. LOL. I love not giving a fig about a job. It's so liberating. This past week I've treated the job about like that guy from Office Space. It's great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Master Jay Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 No work tomorrow it's a holiday especially if the Eagles lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tex Posted January 18, 2004 Share Posted January 18, 2004 I don't miss big games because football is way more important then work. Stay home and watch the game. Think about it. How many championship games will you ever see in your life? How many days of your life you will give to an employer? No contest. A co-worker found out she has breast cancer this past Friday. She said that she is not afraid but wishes she had taken the time to smell the roses along the path of life and regrets letting all the chances to do so slip away. Don't make the same mistake. Hail!
