Taking off work for release

Am I the only one that took off work on the 8th? It also happens to be my birthday so I guess that makes it twice as nice. Plus getting my Fiance to buy me the hardened edition for my Birthday....sweetness. I'm just curious if I'm a degenerate gamer that needs to go to counciling or am I one of the few, the proud, the hardcore gamers.
Taking the day off school is pretty pathetic seeing as you're only in till around 3:00pm. But if you're working till the evening then sure, take the day off. I doubt anyone could wait until 8pm to play MW3... Fortunately, I finish college at 10:05am on the release day ![]()
I took of 2 becuause of the midnight realease
I have only one class on the 8th and I do not plan on going. I'm dropping my wife off at school at 9:30am, going home and playing until I have to get her; just hope my little cooperates haha. My little girl likes watching me play anyway. Oh and definitely taking off work.
Going to the midnight release and have the 8th requested off. Will probably take a nap after work on the 7th so I can play all night after launch =)
^this
I'll be working. Works been slow the past couple month, need all the hours I can get. Plus i live in the middle of nowhere and fed-ex doesn't run till like 4:00 anyway. I'd just spend all day wait on the delivery guy to get 2 extra hours of play.
My wife and I are both going to the midnight release. She had to take the day off so we could geek together in MW3 glory.
I wish my missus was like this.
Nice to see I'm not the only one. I just hope there are no server issues or anything else to make the day bad.
I'm undecided yet....
In anticipation of the release of MW3, I have taken the entire week off. I'll be resting up on Monday to attend the midnight release and get my copy.
I'll be taking a sick day or two, AKA faking the funk.
OHHHHH, I got mudbutt, Gotta go.
Yes, its an official holiday at my business. My boss is even taking off.
I took off work too haha. You're def not the only one. And its awesome because Monday night the 7th, I get outta workat 945, go to get something to eat, go hop in line at gametop, and then Tuesday I took off work and I have no college classes Tueday. Cant wait haha.
I have 8 days of paid sick leave at work and im planing on using them all.. lol. Ill just have to be REALLY sick on Monday lol... so i can take my sick days off on Tuesday.
yeah, i requested tuesday off, and i always have wednesday off, so i plan on getting some sufficient game time in. I couldnt help but think about the fact that this time next week, i will be at gamestop, about to have the game in my hands. Ill be getting my wife sims 3 pets so she has something to keep her occupied while im playing. Hopefully i can get a friend or two to come over.
Dear OP,
Thank you for your letter. Yes you are a degenerate gamer and should go to councilling. Taking a day off work may indicate that you are way too interested in fun and enjoyment. Alternatively, it may also mean you are a proud kick arse hardcore gamer who has his priorities damned straight!
See you on line on the 8th. I will be having the day off as well.
Yours Sincerely
Dorothy Dicks ;)
I'm working the day of the release, but got the next day off, so not sweating it too much. I'll still get to play at night the day it comes out.
I have the Tuesday and Wednesday off, so I'm pretty happy about that. Thankfully we're allowed to make our own schedules in university so I made it specifically so that I have Tuesdays off lol. MW3 should arrive around mid day, so I'll be gaming straight on from then!
Taking the day off . The mancave will be locked with the earphones on and staying there till the boss catches on that its a week later and im still M.I.A
happy but damn hungry
I also took off tuesday
I get off work at 11pm monday night and will head straight to gamestop! See you 360 gamers there!
Me will havum mud buttums all of a sudden around 11:00pm on the 7th.
Haha I'm glad Im not the only one either. I thought I was. All my friends are like wtf dude that's a little much.. but I only work thurs-sundays.. so i'll def be at the midnight release.. I ALSO took the entire weekend after off work as well. Cuz the first week I know i'll be too addicted. 9 straight days of MW3.. My gf says she's not coming over the entire time. Haha. She'll only give me a booty call when in need. She knows im a hardcore gamer. Hence the name.
Im unfortunately still in High School but I will undoubtedly be missing school for the rest of the week... I mean it is Call of Duty
Taken the day off and keeping my son home so we can both play! Yeah!

I have taken the week off. Sure its under the guise that I need a day to go to the dentist, another day to take the dog to get its needles and another day to go to physiotherapy but I think everyone here knows I'm really taking it off to play CoD.
Problem is my missus works til midnight so she is going to be complaining that I am not home if I go to the midnight release (she hates coming home to an empty house).
One of my gaming partners is a releif teacher so has turned down all work for the Wednesday and two other mates aranged a single day off on the wednesday also. Gonna be epic.
WTF? Did one guy say he was going to let his little girl watch him play all day?
I like modern warfare and all but seriously, take your kid to the park or color my little pony or something. Save the gaming for bed time.
Having said all that, Im taking the day off to play. My wife and kids will be at school. When they get home, I'll shut it off and do family junk.
I am taking off the 8th, 9th, and part of the 11th. We just had our first child so playing in the evenings is kind of out the window right now.

If you think taking a day off is bad, then I am pure evil. I took off the whole week. Saved a week of my vacation time just for this. It is nice having a week off right now. Off for the week, go back for a couple weeks then off for Turkey day vacation, back for a couple weeks and off for xmas vacation. Working for a school district is great! ![]()
Take a week off and go on a singles cruise bro.............light the BL cruise. That'll make you want to put CoD away for awhile.
Singles cruise... Great, but how to talk the wife in to letting me go? ![]()
Couples cruise?
couldnt get tuesday off but weds is not as bad...
I'm pretty lucky I have all week off too. I work 80 hours in 7 days, then get 7 days off. Repeating. My week on is going to be a struggle at work!
i took release day off
I'm lucky that I don't work on Monday the 7th. I work second shift. But I do work on Tuesday the 8th. I took a half day, so I'll only be working until about 7pm. I'm a college student, so its just a spending money job, not a career or anything. I may end up skipping a class on the morning of the 8th, however, because I can see myself being awake into the wee hours of the morning.
Hell yeah i am! This game is going to be awesome!
Took the 8th off too! !
Planning on playing until 8am lol
