So Pissed Off Right Now.....

[gbforever]

I just got my work schedule and I have to work Thursday night, I asked for that off months ago. God I've gotta get out of that hellhole.

 

[PackersRS]

Sorry for you. If you got the bucks and the phone, I believe DirecTV has a package that lets you see games on your phone...

 

[13 Times Champs]

Yeah, that suks and I feel for you. But you could be like my son-in-law. He's a Redskins fan and is expecting to get his walking papers Friday after 17 years. How about that for bad luck?

Sounds like college has changed a lot since I was there. Either that, or you are doing it wrong.

 

[Green_Bay_Packers]

Damn that sucks

 

[bear7625]

Your boss must be a vi-queen fan!!

 

[Forget Favre]

I won't be able to watch the game either.
The softball team I'm on plays Thurs. nights.
So I'll have to tivo it and watch when I get home.

How many colds, flu's and kidney transplants are on that day!!!

 

[Future]

Call in sick my friend.

I too am going to miss the game (and will be taping it). I have to teach a class from 7-9pm, I'm going to sit in my office afterward until I think the game is over, then I'm going to head home and watch it on VHS. Of course I will also need to resist the temptation to sit on my laptop, because I KNOW that I'll find out the score somewhere (Yahoo! news, Facebook, email, etc.).

Yeah, whatever you do avoid this place till after you've watched it.

SERIOUSLY????? School first???? No wonder I didn't graduate. LOL

 

[GreenBayGal]

If I ran the world, there would be no work or school on this day. NONE!!!!

 

[Big E]

I've got class on Thursday night until 10 pm. I would just skip it, but it's my toughest class and I don't wanna get behind. So I'll just set the game to record and start from the beginning when I get back. I swear if any of my roommates says anything to me about the game before I get a chance to see it, I'll punch them in the face. Or better yet, I'll eat their food.

 

[Wood Chipper]

Well most of us will miss the first hour so it really sucks.

Can't you just DVR it and avoid all media/internet?

I always watch SNF and MNF games on DVR, a few hours behind, just because I'm on the West Coast and because it allows me to fast-forward through the ads.

For Thursday, though, I'll start watching 30 minutes or an hour behind real time.

 

[PackMan13x]

I scheduled it off months ago, way before the lockout ended. If they didn't approve it way back then, I sure as hell wasn't going in anyway. When you call off at my job you don't need to tell them a fairy tale, you have 2 options, sick or personal. Of course I would have said sick so I could use my sick hours to get paid, hehe.

also verizon (in applicable markets) you can watch thursday and sunday nights on your phone

i have this feeling that i'm gonna be called in thursday. it happened back when GB played Indy on CBS. this time i'm gonna say no

 

[Powarun]

I know how you feel, I was scheduled for the saturday night game versus the Falcons in the playoffs. I made sure I requested every packer game off, or a good work around. Then my coworker tried the same thing 4 months later into the year and my scheduling manager said, "She is just as big as Packer fan as you." I then explained that as on the request day off sheet it was first come first serve AND she didn't go to her job interview in a Packers jersey.

maybe a scrap car will "accidentally" hit a power line and take out power to the place on Thurs. afternoon.

Tell them half your body is covered in boils, you have uncontrollable vomiting and twitching. Trust me, nobody will want to be around you.

I always told my workers, if you call in sick and I am not available, tell them your are puking and have the diarrhea. No one will question you. Works like a charm.
