It’s True of Everyone Here

[GrilledSteezeSandwich]

Our friends and co-workers think we are friggin' nuts when we're happy about predictions of big snow.

it's crazy and today when it was raining everybody was miserable..rain is just water..sunshine is over-rated

Speaking of which, everyone has called into work sick to go skiing.

I have never done this actully. Have taken days off from work in advance to ski. But when you work in a ski shop and it starts snowing, calling in sick is not really a option.....

I'm with Hawkshot

I've actually never called in sick to work period. This is not to say that I have never been too sick to work, just for whatever reason the days I get sick (very few that I can recall) have happened to fall on my days off.

In my current occupation, I work from home. No such thing as taking a sick day.

I have also never called in sick to go skiing..I don't fake sickness..I feel like if I do..I'll get some horrible disease for revenge..

1. At some point, unless retired, everyone who posts here has done so while procrastinating from work.

Nope.

Nope.

I haven't either, but I've used sick days to go skiing. I had my old boss trained pretty well.

Root: Hey John, have you been looking at the weather
Boss: Hey Root, yeah, been expecting your call, not coming in again?
Root: :beer:

never called in sick to ski...tough to do when you work in the industry. However, I did have a 6 inch rule when I managed the buying office...if it was in the am, you didn't have to be there until 1pm, if it accumulated through the day, the office was closed at 1pm...or at least mine was. Spring of 06 and 07had a number of half days...

Everyone on here is probably selfish about their ski time.

+1 My fellow teachers don't get it when I am praying for a huge dump in mid-march

 

[ski_resort_observer]

I can't think of anything that is 100% true for everyone in here

 

[ComeBackMudPuddles]

everyone in here has taken at least one ski lesson?

Never had a lesson. Never called in sick to go skiing. All days that I take off to ski are planned in advance.

Wow, has anyone else ever used a sick day to go skiing, these guys are making me feel like a dead beat. It’s not like I use a lot of sick time. We can accumulate sick time and I have over 250 days. I don’t use many obviously, but on a powder day…. Come on.

Hard to call in sick in my line of work.

But even when I was employed outside the home, I did not call in sick to ski. I was always afraid of getting caught using sick days for fun (since I was a municipal employee) so I didn't usually leave the house on sick days unless it was to go to the doctor because I was, believe it or not, sick.

Not one in the traditional sense. Just a casual mogul "clinic" this year.

 

[Vortex]

I take as much time as I can, but days are always planned ahead and I don't take sick days for anything. Keeps me employed. Owners here are skiers also.:idea:

Do not feel you are a deadbeat at all. I wish I had a job that allowed me to call in like that, but I do not unfortunately.
