Took four days off to play ME3. I'm serving my military term now so nothing of value is lost.

[DalishRanger]

Nope. Unemployed/freelance graphic designer, so there's no work at the moment to take time off of.

You must have a pretty s*** job to consider time off just to play a video game. Or custom days off. I get every weekend off so I got no real choice (but free weekends rule so ). Still gonna play launch day though.

You crazy? My job is awesome! Just because someone makes an event of a game launch does not mean they do not like their job, nor does it devalue what they do. I get weekends off as well, so I asked for the 6th through 9th off, which gives me Tuesday through Sunday to play away.

That whiff of condescension and elitism is uncalled for. We are all Shep's here, act like it.

My profesors said it was ok if I took a few days off to "work on my papers". 
I may have failed to mention that my papers are about finished.

I was running my own company in 2010 & 2011. It was an awesome learning experience, but I haven't been so broke since college. I decided to close it down at the end of 2011. I'm just now wrapping up all the financial admin tasks, getting in the last of the money owed to me, making sure everybody who I owed money to gets paid.

I'm ready to start work for someone in April. I have to admit, it wasn't anything like the main reason I decided to close it down when I did. But, the fact I would have several weeks basically clear to play ME3 was a factor.

[AllenShepard]

Took the whole week off. Think I'm calling in tomorrow for good measure.

It devalues their attitude toward employment when such a state is hard sought after by many. Maybe your specific situation is different in that you either have great leniency from the guy in charge or vacation days to blow or whatever, but there's far too many people that simply are lazy and try to justify it in some other fashion. I can sympathize with those with s*** jobs, I used to have one years ago. But even that wasn't easy to come by, so taking it for granted to play a game is, imo, petty.

Save the sick days for when you're actually sick.

She saw ME2 and didn't like it.  She's not a scifi girl.  But she'll be sure to ask me to explain everything that's happening while I'm putting it together.  Lol

Hopefully she realizes you're saving the damn galaxy! That's serious business! If you don't save it, then who will? WHO? There's zero time to talk about wife topics!

Heh.

I think we have next year's Oscar winner!

LOL.

I'll speak for myself: I have PTO.  I accrue it every month. I can use it however I wish.  

[Fault Girl]

UK person here, my work shift is Friday-Tuesday. Thurs and Wed are basically my weekend. If I was in the USA I wouldnt have booked time off but I booked the 9th-13th, going to be weird not being at work but I work longish tiresome shifts, no way could I do all nighters.

[jedisolo]

I am taking 3 days of Paid Time Off.

[WarChicken78]

Haha Yes, yes, just got my week off approved!
Also I already told my friends not to contact me, since I'm not at home - I'm off saving the galaxy.

[CARL_DF90]

Amen to that my friend.

[Jynthor]

Well, for me it's coming out on a Friday so I only have to take one day off.
Three days of playtime is good enough for me.

We got the shot, sir. A very touching moment indeed.

*takes a moment to blink away the tears*

We don't need a moralizing discourse in here. No need to sniff about the unemployment rate. This is supposed to be a joyous occasion. It's not a sensitivity seminar.

If you just took time off for whatever reason to play ME3 and want to shout it to the rooftops, this thread is for you!

Unfortunately I have my Mechanical Engineering degree and Air Force ROTC duties. I did take off work on Tuesday night though, was scheduled from 5-10! Can't wait!

[Valikdu]

Yeah. I'm taking 4.

[milena87]

Paid vacation from 12th to 16th (had to take 12 days off work by the end of June anyway so...)

[DocDVD]

2 days off for ME3..

[freskione]

Not taking any time off, although now I'm wishing I did at least take Wed off as I imagine I won't get any sleep on Tues night. However, come Friday night - Sunday night, I will pretty much overdose and be comotose.

[DavianBurke]

My schedule normally gives me Monday, Tuesday and Thursday off. I booked off Tues, Wednesday and Thursday for launch week so my boss wouldn't get cute and give me Wednesday off but schedule me on Tues or Thurs. He's quite mad at me.. see, about 2 months ago I convinced him to get ME2 on his PS3 and he's hooked. Almost as bad as I am. So he's not pleased that I put in my time off request over a month ago which leaves him unable to really sit down with his pre-order CE of ME3 until the weekend.. hehehehe.

[Eclipse merc]

Nope, I'm taking nothing off :/

[Veggiesofmanycolors]

Dammit I'm jealous of all you people who don't have jobs. I want to be funemployed but I can't afford it yet.

Oh get off your high horse.  It's not some great honor to to get up and go to work every morning.  Our employers aren't doing us the favor by giving us jobs, we're the ones doing the favor by working for them.  If anything they're the ones who should be greatful and we shouldn't feel so beholden as to never lie to take time off.

I think most of us have jobs where benefits include paid time off that can be taken for any reason we see fit.
