Calling Off Support Group

[steelcityjames]

Every morning when I wake up to get ready for work I have to battle the urge to call off so I can play "The Show" all day. I'm able to fight this urge by reminding myself that my wife will think I'm an idiot and I'll get scolded lol. I can't be alone in this struggle, can I? What are some of your techniques to resist the urge to call off work in the name of "The Show"?

You are not alone........ in fact I'm already planning ahead to take a sick day this month just so I can get a full day of franchise in.

In my defense I haven't taken a sick day in over a year.

I fortunately work from home with a pretty laid back job and just reply to emails and do quick 5 min tasks (with the occasional all day task) so I have my computer and PlayStation set up on my desk. While I wait for that next email I’m gaming

I also work from home and have billable hours. Some days, not all, I will bill an hour, play 2 innings, bill an hour, play two innings etc. I am usually just as, or more, productive on these days, but I also find that I put the more difficult stuff off, so it can't be an every day thing.

Re: Calling Off Support Group

I work an 8-3 job. Not terrible but they make it rough to take any days off. I get a couple weeks vacation but if it doesn't fall in that you need a really good excuse and I'm just not that creative

Re: Calling Off Support Group

I fight this urge daily.

Only reason go to work is to make sure the doggie has food (screw me, my fat *** doesn't need anymore food), to pay for the electric/internet bills so I can play the show, & cover my tickets to sporting events.

Jealous of you cats that are retired or work from the house.

Re: Calling Off Support Group

I work from home...my PS5 is in my basement and my work office is on the 2nd floor.

Absolutely HAD to do this; otherwise temptation is too great....especially when I am on a lot of t-cons.

My brother and I started a CPG Food Brand U-LUV Foods. We have cookies that are free from all 8 major FDA allergens. We’re in 330 US stores and online at www.uluvfoods.com.

Okay, shameless plug over

That said, setting my own hours means I gotta have discipline. Even more so when early April comes around because of the show.

My brother runs the shop, I’m more so sales but I go in everyday to avoid temptation to say “let me get a quick game in” haha.

I can't resist that urge so I get up just early enough to get a game in during those wee small hours of the a.m.
that tides me over until I'm back home again in the afternoon. it can be rough sometimes, getting up a little early, but to quote that great dog Courage, ''oh the things I do for love''. love me some baseball. love me some video games. love me some baseball video games. love me some Show

Re: Calling Off Support Group

Well, its official that tomorrow will be a "call in sick for the show day" for me. I planned on doing that the day it was released but I couldn't. So, finally I get a full day of the show.

I blame this thread and all of you.

Re: Calling Off Support Group

Wouldn’t matter for me anyway. My wife works from home, so if I were to take a sick day I’m pretty sure the first thing she’d tell me is “ you’re not going to be playing all day right?” She’d then produce a list of chores for me to do around the house.


Damn I knew I should have stayed single.
