To watch a late night sport event on TV, release of a new game or DVD? Got to admit mine was the release of the last Grand Theft Auto.

I'd participate in this discussion but potential clients/employers might read my response.

I've not had any sick days this year, and only 5 days holiday (one week.)
Last year I had only 3 days sick leave, and was forced to take the last 3 weeks of december as holiday leave. It was torture, I assure you.
Go me.

I never take time off. I've got no life and no girlfriend so there's no reason to.
I really should sort that out actually.

Catch-22 situation.
No time off work = No life && No girlfriend

Likewise in my situ', if I actually had any work to do, it would be
Code: Select all
NoTimeOff == ((Sickness && Poor Health) || (No life && No Girlfirend))'
.. how geeky is that? $noGirlFriend++;

To go interview for my current job

Worst thing for my prior employer, at any rate.

To go smoke some reeffer man, it's like a conspiracy man, their like out to get us, man.
Seriously, though I think the worst day off was when my first 64-bit processor came in. Ah, the smell and speed of new technology.
P.S. I don't do drugs.
Edit: Almost forgot $HotGirlfriend++;
