Just Once didnt go school cause wanted Play gw. that was wonderful story

I've called in sick because I simply was out of town for the day and even though I requested the time off, my silly supervisor forgot to schedule me off. And I was part time at the time too. But I've never called in sick JUST to play games.

Richardt · Feb 20, 2008, 05:05 PM // 17:05

Eh I've done similar-not for GW-most of my alliance and guild is offline during the day so when I'm legitimately sick, it's kinda boring to be on. And plus all of my work can be done from home, so if I am sick, I do try to get some work done (damn my work ethic!).

But the day after my Master's defense I did take a day off just to play my PS3

TBH everyone needs a little me time lol. Did plenty of that right after finals as an undergrad

Job don't get done or someone else has to do it aswell as their own work, your actions have an effect on others and their work, you ever think about that?
I can imagin doing someone elses work if they are sick or has to take care of a sick family member, but if I found out they stayed home to play video games, NO WAY. They would be looking for a new job.

lol. No one has ever died because I took a personal day. Or cried for that matter.

the thing is that i think of myself as an exception to the rule. i turn out 3 times the company profit of my co-employees and i get paid the same. also taking into concideration that many employees where i work destroy company propery and miss a few days per month. i also do a lot of things that arent expected of me that nobody else does, saving the company money. also i have repaired relations with many of our companies customers to save large accounts
i called in sick but told them what i was doing. i took a sick day(not like i was faking)
i bet i could go to work tomorrow with my wang hanging out and i'd still have my job-taking into concideration i work with truckers

At work now, but I can't play GW on this ancient computer. If I feel like taking a day off I just call in and say "Not coming in today."

Zahr Dalsk · Feb 20, 2008, 05:34 PM // 17:34

If the weather is shit and I'm staying home anyways, sure, I might play Gw.

Never for Gw itself though.

Snow Bunny · Feb 20, 2008, 06:12 PM // 18:12

Never have, never will.

It's a game.

College = Grades = Job = Money

Money > GW

Even if I were to call in sick and screw around, I'd go to a theme park or something, not waste it in front of a screen.

Im dealing with mono right now..so ive been out of school for awhile..sleep in till 1-2pm sometimes, and I would just get on gw since there is nothing better to do then watch gw with my grandmom >< ew

but wow after reading alot of the responses it makes me feel a bit weak. I mean Im a senior in Highschool and I graduate in May, I allready dont have a job so like im not getting any money (looking for one now tho)

Now if I DID have a job, hell no. I wouldnt call out of a job for gw.. I agree with what Snow Bunny said:

i am sick so i play gw

gg

Kattar · Feb 20, 2008, 07:24 PM // 19:24

Nope, money > video games. Because,

Code:

if money < cost of food, electricty,etc 
           then no video games

Code syntax is baed. Kinda fixed it.

I have done it on several occasions. Not just to play Guild Wars though. But, primarily because I was just exhausted and didn't feel like working. I can get away with it most of the time. I never miss really important things though.

Arkantos · Feb 20, 2008, 08:48 PM // 20:48

I've missed school due to being sick/feeling like crap in the morning and played Guild Wars during the day, but I've never stayed home from school just to play Guild Wars.

FlameoutAlchemist · Feb 20, 2008, 09:11 PM // 21:11

I haven't necessarily skipped school per se. I've skipped lectures and lab days that I've either already done or gotten ahead of. Like Rahja said, I never miss the important stuff.

RedNova88 · Feb 20, 2008, 09:41 PM // 21:41

Well before I finished school I would "fake it" on an odd occasion to stay home because I had better things to do on that particular day. And after I finished whatever I was doing I'd spend some quality time with Guild Wars.

Lady Lozza · Feb 20, 2008, 09:54 PM // 21:54

I've never called in sick unless I quite literally can't even manage to crawl out of bed - and then it's no playing GW anyway, just sleep. It's just a bad work ethic. I suffer from the occassional migraine and old sports injuries - I actually need my sick time to cope with the days I am sick.

Mike_version2 · Feb 20, 2008, 09:55 PM // 21:55

I would rather get paid/educated than take a day off to play GW (or any game).
