MrBlueGuy

You're lucky. My work would be like "welp, take a cab or bus" haha

JimboSaturn · 51-55, M

@nightjourney we are usually super busy. It’s just this week is slow

DareeQn · 26-30, F

take the day for you, have to listen to your body and mind

Justme22 · M

Half days like that are a waste of time and energy. I could not agree with you more.

I won't tell :) Enjoy some YouTime!

CountScrofula · 41-45, M

Hell yeah. Take a mental health day. Your job can eat it you need to take care of yourself.

Understandable 🤙

🤣😂My bad habits are rubbing off on you

kodiac · 22-25, M

Usually if do something like that my car does break down lol with the cost of gas probably save money staying home if it's only 3hr

Elisbch · M

Sometimes it's just necessary. 🤷🏻 Have a nice day off. 😊

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

I hate how we actually have to explain the day we can’t go to work.

Why don’t they explain why in hell we have to go to work almost everyday?

Unlearn · 41-45, M

3 hours? What kinda work is that?

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

@Unlearn I’m a law clerk and bookkeeper. Only Fridays are 3 hours. The rest of the week is hard 10-4

Barefooter25 · 46-50, M

You need a mental break. My job has a company party today and I decided to take the rest of the day off instead of going.

Quetzalcoatlus · 46-50, M

3 hours? Not worth your time

iamonfire696 · 41-45, F

I am glad you took the day off.

Dino11 · M

I commuted 120 miles a day for years. That can wear you out.

Crazywaterspring · 61-69, M

Take mental health days. Your job (or boss) doesn't care if you live or die.

TurtlePink · 22-25, F

Well, at least you’re here with us where you’re safe 🤗🤗 I hope you get to feeling better

smiler2012 · 56-60

not to sound like your conscience but did you have a sense of guilt over what you did and the lie you told your boss [jenny1234]

Jenny1234 · 51-55, F

@smiler2012 briefly. Lasted about 3.5 seconds

bartender · 36-40, M

Good for you.
Let's have some beers

Reflective · 36-40, M

I get that excuse a lot. That and food poisoning. I didn’t think that as an adult that other adults would explain their bowel movements to me to get out of work but they do.

Get to work slacker

@swirlie because Fridays sept through June I only work 3 hours and I have Fridays off July and august. It’s cuz I have a fantastic boss who decided that’s the way it should be

LunarOrbit · 56-60, M

How far a drive?

scorpiolovedeep · 46-50, M

I think it is important to take a mini break sometimes when we have too much on our plate …

Well done

pedrohedgerow · 61-69, M

With all my heart,total respect to you 🥂👍🤗

Nanoose · 61-69, M

To be on the safe side you should put a little smudge of grease on your cheek when you go to work on Monday and tell everybody you spent the weekend fixing your car. Cheers and happy weekend!

MrNightSky · 41-45, M

I feel ya! I've been there.
