take off of work for a console launch?
Another forum I belong to has a buncha 30-40 somethings almost bragging that they\'re taking off work to play the 360 on release day. :bow::nerd:
-
Would you be willing to risk a job loss for a Xbox360 ? :rolleyes:
-
Not sure where you work for just taking a day off . I\'m allowed up to six sick days (each day = a week) and then three weeks vacation.
-
I can bank my overtime and use it when needed :)
-
Yea I just took a vacation day on Halloween. Saving it for Xbox would\'ve been a good idea, too.

We get 85 hours of sick leave per year. 175 hours of vacation leave.
I took off work for the PS2 launch coz I knew I\'d be too tired from standing up all night long for that damn console.
-
I wish we had a bank overtime option.
We have six sick days, each day equals one week\'s worth of work. So, if I call in one day - I can take that whole week off. Then three weeks vacation, plus a floating holiday - that can be used anytime during the year.
Hell , I\'ve called in just for a movie.
-
bunch of network admins i work with are taking that day and the next off as vacation days
-
When is the 360 launch? (as you can tell, I have no interest but I am curious)
I believe I\'m gonna be too busy with Abe\'s Exoddus. Blind Modukons are the funnay.
-
Wasn\'t it the 22nd?
-
23rd isn\'t it?
Hell, I don\'t know. I know the info sheets at WAL-Mart say there is no date set.
:D

i can see maybe bein a little late for work if your\'re gettin\' some good morning sex, but takin\' off for a console release? :rolleyes:...yea for last gen. i think we were all amped to get our hands on \'em, but now?....naw i think we all know what to expect from here on out....better graphics, better A.I....etc.
-
If I\'m out of school and back to work when PS3 is getting released, I\'ll probably take that day off. My boss is understanding and gives me most days I want off, except if the schedule is already made.
-
I hadn\'t planned on getting one--nothing really compelling enough at launch to warrant it--but I was lucky enough to win one with the Pepsi promotion. I don\'t know when I\'m getting it (presumably before it hits shelves), but I\'ll take some time to put it through its paces.
I\'m more interested in checking out the BC and its media functions though. Although, PGR3 is awesome, the rest of the lineup is meh.
-
SOMEONE won with the pepsi thing?
Amazing. Makes me almost wish I would of tried it....almost.
-
I\'m sure glad I did. I was doing some programming and since I was going to be at my computer all day, I thought I\'d break it up by getting pins. I put about 12 pins in for a 5am draw and won. Not bad.
-
guy i work with won the every10minutes.com contest.
he went thru the cafeteria garbage every day after lunch and got dozens of caps.
-
A good friend of mine won it too. All the guys he work with didn\'t care so they all gave him their caps.
