calling in sick for gw

share your fun stories of calling in sick to work or school just to stay home to play gw

i havent missed a day in a year at work and today i called in sick so i can be lazy and play gw and harrass the gwg forums ok heres the funny part of it. my boss said i have to come sign the life insurance packet i forgot to do lasy night before i can go home sick. no its not a trick like he's trying to get me to come in anyway. lol brb

yeah my stories pretty boring but i bet you people have some good ones. i want some great tales of delinquency when i get back!

PLEASE no one-upper trolling useless commets ty

Why call in sick. When I'm the boss no need. I just go to work log in to GW and play if I wanna. O and post too!

I don't think loss of job is an option for most people. Becareful it doesn't become a habit. Most of us would like to stay home and do nothing but play games but real life must come first - if you fail to see that real life commitments are a priority then you should seek help or stop playing games altogether

PS. I post of forums from work as I can between jobs- play from home after work and after family time

I've never done it, but I know a few people that have called in sick in order to make monthly ATs

This needs /closed or /moved_to_off_topic in my opinion.

Anyhoo...Only time I take time off work for GW is when a new campaign/expansion comes out, and then, I use holiday time . I try not to call in sick whenever possible...because whenever someone else does I always think "yea, you just want a day off..." so I naturally think that's what others think I'm up to.

Never...missing my schooltime for GW? I want cash aswell as GW!

Nope I've never called in sick for guild wars. I've called in sick because I was actually, *gasps* sick, slept till noon, and played guild wars because i was bored. But not especially so I could play guild wars or any game. I need money more then i need guild wars.

Only missed classes when I was actually sick. I'd show up on GW 'cause I was bored, but sometimes I'd log off pretty fast 'cause I'd be too tired/sick to play. Never missed a class to play, I already feel guilty for not being able to go to class for a valid reason... so you can imagine how I feel about canceling my whole semester because I broke my leg and can't even go to class. Gonna give me time for GW, but TBH I'd rather be in class with my friends.

I called out of work the day Factions launched.

That was one of my favorite GW days. There was a special 1-day event for those who preordered, so I started my new Rit and had a great time PUGging through parts and going through with guildies in other parts.

And they say WoW is addicting...

Can't say I've missed school or work just to play Guild Wars. For me, I have to stay at school because it's incredibly vital, and money is pretty important as well. I feel guilty enough that I just missed my bus.

The day I call in sick to college to play GW is the day I quit playing, then again I'm studying what I've dreamed of for a long time now (music)

cool. what aspect of music are you into? do what makes you happy just like you are

I'm at work right now, so, No.

I have scheduled days off in the past for Ghost Recon, but not for GW.

I don't like to miss work, I've too much to do, like troll thse forums and flame.

Well i dont really have a fascinating job (temp job) so one day i called in sick because i work nightshifts and we were goign to do a FOW run and i have been missing out on those and didn't want to miss that one.

But that was the only time i called in sick for GW.. xD

Never and never will……….. But I do like the extra playing time when my kids get sick and I get to watch them

Very funny coincidence this topic. I'm a hard worker, but two weeks ago I just didn't show up at work that monday cause I just had enough of it, no note from the doctor or whatever, just illegaly absent. The next day in front of the whole team my boss asked in a very special tone: 'So where did you hang out yesterday?' 'Defenitely not here': I answered. And that was the end of it. Still working there.

They damn well know that they won't find a hard working clown like me any time soon. And btw here in Belgium you get a replacement income when you're thrown out and it's almost as high as a full time job the first year. Time enough to find another job in the meantime.

And yeah I played GW all day that day, bite me.

I have never been sick in my whole life, so people wouldn't be believe me if I did so.

If I'm calling in sick at work/missing school, I'd be too sick to play GW >.>

We get allot of different aspects, such as band coaching, music theory, history and hearing training. But also sound design (learning to work with professional studio software), recording techniques, setting up a PA system, some management etc. You have to specialise in the second year but still in the orientation fase at the moment

I play in several (small) bands and play guitar myself, enjoying everything else we've had so far as well

Is it?

What about responsibilitys, deadlines, ripple effects?
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.
