Dougiefresh 0 #4 March 11, 2005 Define "sick".Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so. --Douglas Adams Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slappie 9 #5 March 11, 2005 I get 5 sick days a year and we can roll them over up to 20 banked. Well I've only ever banked 10. I call them "sick n tired" days and I'll do it maybe twice or three times a year. Most of the time I schedule a vacation day if I know I need a day off. I'll turn a regular weekend into a 3 day weekend. I have to admit, there are some days after a major project that's wrecked me I'll call in "sick n tired" ... my boss normally knows when it's one of those days and he's pretty cool about it.

Especially not when right before a huge deadline. That would just be wrong. Really, really wrong. I would never do it to go practice in the tunnel either.

Dumpster 0 #14 March 12, 2005 Hell yeah - Even though I run the department, I know my guys can handle whatever comes up. I've been known to call my lead man and tell him I have a case of "ground poisoning". (Also known as "Blue Sky Fever"-) As long as all is going well, it's no problem!
