Dont tell anyone, but I am calling in "sick"

There is a conservation effort that needs to be tended to. There are some starving fish on the TN river that need to be fed and I am doing my part...

Anyone else make brash decisions like this??

I've been on sick leave for 10 years.  Leaving late this morning, tide change is in an hour.

Yep, as CEO of my company I tell my assistant to add to the calendar that I am meeting with Mr. Bass and will not be in the office.

 

Works every time.

Of course....I did it even more frequently in college which may or may not have contributed to why it took 10 years to graduate :) all those years I took off from school were totally worth it.

Back in highschool a bunch of friends and i would ditch school and go fish the river. Afterwards we would go to someones house, crack open some beers and grill some burgers.  I wish i could go back in time and slap the hell out of myself for always wishing i was older.......

I have this scheduled on my work calendar once and sometimes twice a month. I call it working from home days.

Have fun and tight lines..... Good thing I read this at work. Too many "good" ideas coming from this forums.

d**n those were the day, change the beer with an illegal rolled cigar type plant and that was used, wish I didn't do that, but even though it was bad, it had some sort of Sandlot type mysticism to it. Thank God I grew up though

one advantage to working for the rail road is unlimited sick days , so needless to say  have used my fair share out on the lake lol

Haha, I did the same thing this morning so I could hit the local pond. The fishing was kind of slow but it sure beat being at work.

Yep, also skipped back in high school to fish. Would go to my important first two classes then off I went. My mom would excuse my absences haha.

I'm too scared to call in to go fishing.  I always think something bad will happen 'cause I lied to go fishing.  I'm lucky though, I can just tell them I'm going fishing and get the day off!!

Just rolled back in from the river.  We had a great time at the "conservation meeting" we had this morning.  They were right.  Starving fish.  We had our share of 30-35 of them.  Unfortunately, they were all small(I guess from starving).  But we will be back to keep feeding them and make sure they grow big and fat!!!!

Not skipping work, but I skip sleeping instead. 

I work until about 1 am so I just stay up the extra 4 or 5 hours and go fishing in the morning.

I was up at 3am Thursday morning, fished until noon. Went home and slept 3 hours before I got up and headed to a different lake and fished from 8pm Thursday night until 9 am Friday morning. The numbers and average size of the fish we were catching was so much better than normal. The fish hit so much more aggressively at night too.

The only problem with fishing at 3 or 4 in the morning is I can't get these fish into the net, mine is too small and Frabill discontinued the larger size.........but I'll live with it......lol

:jaw-drop:  I am feeling a case of angleritis coming on for Monday.. Some symptoms include good upcoming weather and a crappy job.

Jeez I love being retired. Go every day. Except now. Broke my hip.

i work on a flex schedule and i can work from where ever i am as long as i have a computer or phone with me haha 

I wish I would have done the same today. there's a tournament of the club I'm fishing with and I have to work. It sucks to say the least.
