greatscott68 Posted July 15, 2006 Posted July 15, 2006 Actauly haven't missed a day of work in over 12 years (yes, I'm showing my age, here - LOL). That doesn't mean that I didn't stay up all night fighting for 100 more 3dmark points, though. Who needs sleep?!?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

zkissane Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 I actually did last month. Of course, I wouldn't call it taking a day off; it was more like comp time, as I had worked about 8 or 9 straight nights of 12 hour shifts in North Carolina. While I was there I ordered my Opteron so that it would arrive at about the time that I returned home, took a day off while the wargame I was supporting was in the lull period, then took some more comp time after the wargame wound down for good to install the hard drives that I got for my RAID0.

watsonte Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 I take days off work all the time, I am taking off all of next week, Granted for Vacation but I think it counts. Also days off does working half days, or getting paid to go home count. And really with in the past 6 months I have taken off work about 5 times....

CPDMF Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 I used to get the 24 hour variant of bone cancer every couple of months, usually I would fall ill on Thursday or Sunday night forcing a 3 day weekend. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
red930 Posted July 19, 2006 Posted July 19, 2006 To be fair, I just needed a day off anyways. What I do for relaxation might not be everybody else's cup of tea, but whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1ce_hat Posted July 29, 2006 Posted July 29, 2006 never taken a day off for the sake of computerness... if ever, i've cancelled plans because i had to set up a rig.. i couldnt see myself in front of the computer with a fake *cough-cough* "oh i'm so sick i can hardly get out of bed" *cough-hack-cough* if i had a flexible enough job to take days off freely, maybe.
