Title: Should I take the day off?
Post by: Darth Wagtaros on August 14, 2009, 07:07:08 AM
Should I take the day off? I've taken a day off last week and the week before (although that was after working for 27 straight hours, so it doesn't really count.)

Been a real busy summer, I'm burnt out.  Having trouble keeping my eye on the prize.  Etc. I have 3 weeks+ of vacation time and a bit of comp time left over.

I think I might leave early today.  I can pretty much come and go as I please. :)

It's a long weekend this weekend in Yukon, so I'm counting on the boss letting us go home early.  I have morning docket court however, so no taking the day off for me.

By the way, I voted "YES" for taking the day off.  You deserve it.  Enjoy.

I vote no.  Get your lazy ass to work and be productive.  The economy of the US needs hard work to build it back up.

I'm going in slightly early... if the bad weather persists I won't get to go home early. :(

nah. what the US economy needs is more innovation (game modding and game playing) and more consumer spending (beer and more beer).

It wasn't animated. It was actually pretty boring stuff, I didn't listen to atleast half of it.

Atleast he kept it short, just about 1 hour. He's usually in the 2 hours ballpark.

Christ I didn't even make to lunch before I lost all interest today.  That was the longest 4 hour work day of my life.
