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.

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
