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 :P). 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.

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.


Wow. Soapboxing? Really? I don't think you belong in this thread. It's about elating about time off for ME3, not telling others what to do with their paid time off or sick time. Take your worries about unemployment to an OT thread. This OT side thread is done.

I convinced a friend of mine to take a two days off for ME3. Huzzah! One more for the Horde.

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.


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


Really?  That's awesome.  I'm lucky to get unpaid time off.

I have spring break and just got paid from my GI bill so I will be playing all day until my wife gets home and then playing all night when she's in bed asleep.
