nope, never done it. too many times ive called out sick, and actually been sick, that work calls me back at home on the house phone later to ask me a question about something. if i could just call in and be left alone for the day, i would probably do it.

 

You know you can set most home phones to forward calls to another number...say...a cell phone number...

Nope.  If I did something like this I'd wreck my truck or blow up my outboard.  Karma I guess.  Its just how things work for me.

 

just thinking about every time i skipped high school.....  literally every time something would happen.  wrecked a truck once, blew a tire once, got caught at the bowling alley by a family member, ran out of gas 4 wheeling, just too many times it happened!!! 

Every now and then I take some PTO to give myself a long weekend, but I've never called in to go fishing.

One time I got a call around 11 from a guy who used to work with us (retired now) asking if I wanted to go fishing. My boss let me go on the spot.
