Poll: Do you take sick/vacation days when a game you love comes out?

[FernandoV]

No, I'm a responsible person who doesn't lie to his workplace to play games.

I have to say it's really childish and irresponsible to do that, I get you enjoy games but it is no reason to not show up to work just for your own enjoyment.

It's not like you can't play the game when you go home.

The only reason most people go to work is so they can have money to buy things they enjoy. Your logic is invalid.

So if I contracted you for a job and then you felt bored and didn't show up, would you think that was perfectly acceptable?

When you sign up for a job and you don't do it for a shitty reason it reflects really badly on your character.

Oh no, my entirely made-up concept of my ego is going to be threatened by missing a day of work.

Just out of curiosity what is your occupation?

Child of my parents; it pays roughly 250 a week. inb4 leading comment turns into irrelevant lecture.

Or you know, your colleague's and employer's opinion of you could be damaged and then that

douche bag in marketing gets the promotion that you should have. Or else you just don't want

to ever move up in life. Or maybe you're already a millionaire to which I say; touche, sir.

This is ONE day of work. Careers are not ruined.

I don't get sick days when I'm actually sick, so theres no way I'd get time off for a game.

That's true, one day will not make or break you. But for me, one day could lead

to more, so I have to prefer to stay strict with myself.
