Who else besides me is calling in sick on Tueday? Im in California, so the servers should open fairly early for me. When I said i had "time", i meant virtual time, i got no RL "time" for you. |

If you take two you might as well make it realistic and go for three, then it'll be only Friday and there's no point going in for just one day... run it through the weekend.
You'll look like shit on the Monday too because of lack of sleep and poor nutrition, nobody will doubt you. |

What the F is wrong with you guys?? You call in sick to play a game? If you want to play, then take the day off. Calling in sick is pissing up and down your boss, and I hope he/she finds out and fires your ass... I know we have it prety good here in Danmark (yes I'm danish). We get 5 weeks of paid vacation and some also get 1½ extra day off each 3 month. For a total of 6 weeks paid vacation + about 10 holidays. But calling in sick when you are not is still WRONG!! |

In many countries you get a set amount of paid sick days which people are almost expected to take... Why not pull a sickie to play a game that you like and relax? |

Wow, taking a day off work to play a video game? It does say a lot about you. I'm a fan of games as much as anyone and will be playing this when it releases, but some of you need to sort out your priorities ;) |

I hate slackers. I'm with the guy who hoped your bosses would find out about your little sick day and fire you. |

The difference is "calling in sick" or "taking the day off". Yes misery is cheap, but lying to your boss is wrong in every way. If playing a game makes you happy, then take the day off. I won't judge you. I have even don that myself a few times. But don't say you'r sick. |
