alchico Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) you could always come down with something before the game starts. Order in some of that raw fish stuff and claim food poisoning. ps- don't really eat any of it Edited February 4, 2007 by alchico Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brainded Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 I know the feeling, Bro. I am also going to be working tonight from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m. Of course I will be taping it but it just isn't the same after knowing the score and missing all the great food.

darin3 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 my biggest regret in life is working so many hours and not spending enough time with my kids. It's f'n sunday, go home and watch the game with your son. My thoughts exactly. I don't care what I did for work or who I worked for. There is no way I would work on THIS Sunday.

Just knowing how much he cares for his son it seems like there has to be a better answer than staying at work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grits and Shins Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 There is this little problem about job security. I know that later this month 2 more people are slated to be "released". In the spirit of being a valuable member of the team (there are 4 of us working the issue) and staying employed so that my son can continue to eat ... well here I am.
