Veteran  251   Arlington, VA |  Subject: Skipping work and enjoying it!Today I got up at my usual 7am and decided in my half glazed coma to call off of work today, then rolled over and went back to sleep. I got up at 10am, thouroughly stretched, got a cup o joe and sat on my couch and popped on the tv. Do not have to worry about the stress of dealing with family, friends, neighbors.....just me, my coffee and a couch. How many other people are out there taking the day off and enjoying it? So far I have watched two episodes of Family Guy and have started to watch 28 days later...gotta love the dvr. Having all this extra time means that I wil l be able to sneak in another long ride this week instead of only doing them on Sundays. I think I need to call off of work for no reason more often!  |

Elite Veteran 1817  Cedar Rapids, Iowa | Subject: RE: Skipping work and enjoying it! I have three weeks of vacation a year, so taking time off is not too much of an issue, since we only take one week long family vacation each year and I can dole out the other 10 days one or two at a time. But when I only had one or two weeks (for the first 5 years I worked here), once or twice a year I would take a "mental health" day and do nothing. I figured, there are people here who call in sick 10 or more days a year, year in and year out, and I NEVER EVER take sick days because I do not get sick. So I deserve it! And of course I would time it to have no impact on my job. It was great! Glad you are enjoying yourself!! |

Master 2136 A Prairie Home | Subject: RE: Skipping work and enjoying it! Love taking "sick" days.  Love to do "sick" things such as shopping, run errands and exercise because it's usually less crowded. Edited by Denise2003 2005-08-02 9:12 PM |

Master 1462 Michigan | Subject: RE: Skipping work and enjoying it! Brother not to rub it in, I work 9 days a month, get 15 vacation days and 15 paid sick days. I know exactly where you are coming from, earn and burn the days, now that's my philosophy. There is no incentive not too. |
