How many of you told your boss this morning

[Jibartik]

that you had a stomach ache when you came in?

[Cuktus]

Nah, "Hey, I am at a point where I just need to zone out and grind this code, gonna stay home tomorrow if that's cool?"

[Baler]

I'm calling to inform you there was an emergency incident within my family and I won't be able to make it into work today.

[drackgon]

Pfft at work right now. Whats point being home for another like 4 hours at least:) Can only look at char create screen and forums so long:)

[Tyronius of Midnight]

Sent a text. Told him Odus needed me.

[Jibartik]

As of today, Tyronius is in 100% full character.

You mean for 2 weeks.

[drackgon]

Tyronious I can't wait to hang out with you ingame. Though will be sad when I invade said Odus for the one true god. Innoruuk

[Jimjam]

The trick is to complain of a stomach upset at the start of day. Get more and more excited about p1999 throughout the day until you throw up from nerves.

Inform colleagues and sign out as you are worried about spreading bugs.

I just set my out of office to working from home today :P

[Indicas]

lol i was fortunate enough to get laid off last week my company i worked for is going under, so i have the time XD and ill have a few more days because i had to quit smoking weed to pass a drug test so, *cracks knuckls, got a little time to kill this week

[Forsh]

I am my own boss, so that works out.

[Nagoya]

lol, I told my employees "Hey today is Green launch so i'll be leaving early sorry ♡"

What have you guys been doing last 20 years!? ;)

[renarin]

Ate a bad taco and I've got the poops

[Asmadi]

I know my friend called in today for the launch LOL

[Aaramis]

Working today, and my first call was a cardiac arrest. Regretting not calling in sick, not going to lie.

[Kruel]

back in 99'/00' it was "how many people are staying home from school today.

Time flies man

[Kittik]

Sitting at work right now. Might try to skate out early....like 3pm. Server cramps might be alleviated by then.

[bum3]

I am at work too... staring at forums instead of working. Boss isn't happy. I'm not happy. Just let me go home. Palease.

[Shrubwise]

I was honest with my boss. I told him that there was this online RPG game releasing a fresh server today, and I wanted to take time off work to stay home and play it as soon as it comes out. He reminded me that I am a 33 year old adult with real life responsibilities. He also told me that the server release, although well planned and intended, will probably be a complete shit show, with the server crashing or other bugs. So I decided to go to work and stay there all day, and play once I got home, if the server’s up.

I am self employed. I am my boss.

Me too. Let go last wednesday, my previous company is in a slow death spiral.

Good times!

[OldFloridaMan]

I am the boss, so no problem there. Also, my normal work day is 05:00-13:30, so don’t even need to take leave.

I’ve always told my staff to just use persistent diarrhea as the excuse as nobody will want any more detail than that.

[Asmadi]

Yeah its nice to work for yourself, you can decide your days off and your own schedule. So I have my schedule cleared for the next week. Stocked up on drinks, food and smoke.

Lets do this!!!

[Jibartik]

All these people bragging about working for themselves may sound accomplished but are going to be on welfare in like 6 months after their companies stop bringing any money cus of evercrack lol

At least the rest of us employed jerks will be getting our own money back in the form of unemployment! :D

Lucky for you, your boss has some common sense.

[mattydef]

I'm at work now with my USB, ready to get paid to level on Everquest.

dude all my stuff is paid for, house, property, car, all I have are utility bills and I have enough savings to cover those costs for 2 years.

Get back to flippin your burgers, or you don't get paid. Unemployment only pays 60-80% for 6 months. You'll be the one moving back in with mom and dad over Everquest. :P

I hope you have a great time on Green.

[Luneward]

As of today, Tyronius is in 100% full character.

As of today? He's been in full character for weeks.

[astuce999]

People I barely know at work were asking me why I was in today "isn't your stupid game coming out or rebooting or something?"

I guess I must have said something over the last several days...

Astuce
