A day in the life........

A day off.

Ferris Bueller took one. KC area kids took two recently due to snow (some, three). Kareem Hunt is taking a buncha days off.

"The best cure for an off day is a day off." Frank Tyger

REASONS, according to the internet, people need TO TAKE A DAY OFF:
When asked, "What do you do for fun?" you can't remember.
You're on a first name basis with everyone on the night cleaning crew.
You accidentally laugh when your boss asks you to do something.
You snap at your coworker when he asks to borrow a Post-it.
You've emailed the wrong John - not once, not twice, but three times in a week.
You get home, your dog growls, your kids run and your spouse greets you with "May I help you Sir?"

"Start off every day with a smile and get it over with." W.C. Fields

GOOD IDEAS FOR WHEN YOU CALL:

Car trouble
Delivery (major purchase or appliance)
Furnace needs emergency repairs
Leaky pipes
Migraine
Root canal

"Never put off till tomorrow what may be done day after tomorrow as well." Mark Twain

BAD excuses for taking a day off

Got arrested
PMS
Hungover
Office is too cold/hot
Sore feet
Stubbed toe

One place I worked, a dude called in TWICE the first week. Come Monday, the next week, 8am, he wadn't nowhere to be found. At 8:15am a manager called. "Dang, I missed the sign for the turn the glare from the sun was so bad, I'll be there in a sec."

I've told this one before, but it's ok, I think many/most who read this are old like me so maybe you've forgotten. Buddya mine and wifey played golf every Saturday. On this particular Saturday, there was a couple on a motorcycle in fronta them on the way to the course. Well, the gal had a short skirt on. Wind was blowing like crazy. Every 30' or so the wind blew her skirt up only to expose her thong bikini panties each/every time. My buddy missed the turnoff to the golf course they play at every Saturday. His wife gave him 14 days off from conversation with her.

"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it." Ferris Bueller

14 - that's the average number of sick days one takes off a year in the US.

People (some) don't/won't take a day off due to:
"I'm irreplaceable - if I don't show up, my job won't get done."
At the core of (most) every American is the idea of being a hard worker.
For many lower paid workers, the choice is easy. If you don't go to work, you don't get paid.

LET'S move to The Netherlands where workers can be absent for up to two years, while receiving 70% of their salary.

You may use my name, Victor Kendal Schultze, as a reference that I authorized you taking Monday off.

Even Henry Gibson.

Love, Victurd
