is a big no no here at work. They even hand out pamphlets and hold meetings letting everyone know it's a workday and they expect you to be there. Granted, I work in an industry where people calling in is bad news, but were not paramedics or anything.

So don't any of you fuckers call in and rub it in my face on Monday!!!

    it must suck for people who really do get sick and have to call in sick Monday morning. Noone's gonna believe them. It's like the one cop who really does accidentally kill himself while cleaning his gun. Everyone will just assume it was a suicide

    America should make the Monday after Superbowl Sunday a national holiday!

    The Super Bowl should be played on a Saturday.
    Take time to see the sky,
    Find shapes in the clouds.
    Hear the murmur of the wind
    and touch the cool water.
    Walk softly,
    we are intruders,
    tolerated briefly
    In an infinite universe.

    I've heard the NFL is looking into making it an 18 game season, dropping 2 pre season games, and scheduling it so that the Super Bowl is in mid February, the Sunday before a holiday. presidents Day, I think it was

    this actually happened to me once several years ago...I had never had a sick day but I woke up in the middle of the night with a fever. and that was my first thought, I was like "no one is going to be believe me!" Luckily I was sick for 2 days so people eventually believed me when I go back...

    I'm calling in LATE that day. My son is getting an award at school that morning after superbowl and I refuse to miss it. I was going to ask for the morning off but the alcoholics in the office foresaw their impending hangovers and already took that day off. Fuckers :mad:

    I like it on Sunday just because it sounds great. "Super Bowl Sunday" has such a nice ring to it. Besides, to the converted, football is a religion. What brings people closer to God than tithing to a bookie for a 20-week NFL season? I like the idea of making it the eve of a holiday, but which one? Too bad Labor Day is at the beginning of the season. That would make for some great stories on the NFL Players Association's treatment of retired players from the 1950s, '60s, and '70s.

    I was watching the superbowl last night and they said that 6% of Americans will call in sick today :eek:
    The Astoria??? Orgazmic!
    Verona??? it's all surmountable

    Wembley? We all believe!
    Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
    Chicago 07? And love
    What a different life
    Had I not found this love with you

    I called in LATE, just like I said I would. When I called the office, the guy that answered said "Oh NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO, are you calling in sick?"
    ha ahah ah........" I said NO, I'll be there by 10am". I got here at 9am.
    I'm so proud of my son for the award he got at school this morning!!
    I'm even proud of the principal for making the ceremony so quick and painless.
    Now I'm at work and on the board!!

    Super Bowl Sunday does sound good but I should be moved to Saturday. Fuck tradition, especially when the NFL won't even let people say Super Bowl.

    I mean c'mon, all the commercials that say "the Big Game" or "Championship Game" is so lame. It's called the Super Bowl damn it!

    Four sick calls in our division today. None in my building, though. Three claimed it was family oriented and one had the balls to claim he was really sick.

    I behaved myself this year for the first time since Philly and New England were in the Super Bowl. Only had three beers the whole game and didn't stuff myself with junk.

    nah....I just requested the vacation day back in December! I take it every year, regardless of who's in the game. Of course, I've been coming down with a cold the last few days so not only am I wallowing in self pity over the Patriots loss but I'm doing so in a pile of tissues! ugh...
    believe it or not, we don't "need" anything. that is only the spoiled brat in us trying to fill some temporary solution to an emptyness that does not exist.

    on a side note...

    I never understood the phrase "calling in". I've always said "calling out" or "calling off" work... These seem to make more sense than calling in, you aren't going "in" anywhere!

    President's Day weekend would be perfect. It only pushes it back 2 weeks and would be great for all of us who can't skip work the next day. They really need to do it.
    I wish I was as fortunate, as fortunate as me.

    Man, you are blowing my mind with this. Here's another one for ya... Why do 7-11 stores have locks on the doors if they are open 24 hours? :D
