What's your excuse for missing work going to be?

[doronron]

I won't miss work for Civ...just everything else.

 

[Ranos]

I work at a resort so my days off are a little flexible. I know I can get Wednesday off, but I don't know if I can get Tuesday off or not. If I get Tuesday off, I'll call in sick on Thursday and Friday but I'll have to go in on Saturday. If I can't get Tuesday off, I'll call in sick then and just have Wednesday and Thursday off. Friday will be work though.

I was originally going to ask for my two weeks of vacation, but I decided to save those for something else.

Just tell them you tried to travel there like you used to do, but that the new railway system only allows transport of ten tiles per turn, so depending on your era it may be a few years until you can arrive...

 

[Aramazd]

I don't work, I go to school, but if I did I would say I was "sick" for a few days.

[senordante]

I actually quit my job just so I could play full time !


OK - ok - I have another job I just accepted but my start date isn't until Oct 31 - so I'll get at least a few good days of non stop play

lucky, so lucky

 

[Arminius]

I've already told my professors: Funeral (of my Civ3 addiction) followed by a baptism (mine of fire in Civ4), so the weeks blown. I'll turn the papers in early.

I have a perfect alibi which NO-ONE will suspect as being untrue: I was held hostage in my own home by Radioactive Space Monkeys!!! What do you reckon, guys, totally solid and iron-clad, wouldn't you say?

[Tarascan_King]

Sounds pretty good, LOL. As for me im using my last sick day of the year for this game, I expect to be up at 7:00 a.m. & in bed around 2:00 a.m. the next day.

 

[Dragonlord]

Isn't it convenient that Civ is being released right at 'flu time'? I'm sure a virus will come along for me at a convenient time... in fact, I feel sick already!

 

[Fledgling Death]

You could all be as lucky as me- I just had shoulder surgery and will be out of work for three months!

 

[BearMan]

I must be lucky

Exam the 24th, and after that I'm free for around 1 week .

Hmmmm, I spot a flaw in your theory, since South Australia rejected a nuclear waste dump for the State. Now if you said you had Bird flu...

A man after my own heart!

I've used this one on two occasions, and it works great

 

[Aussie_Lurker]

But they're SPACE monkeys!

"Hello? Boss? Yeah it seems im in a tight spot, you see little midgets rampaged trough the house and ductaped me to my chair behind my pc....I dont worry ill manage, i got a free hand to use my mouse. No tis really weird actually, it seems the little begars have also installed Civ4. Hmm, i duno how long this might take, how long can a man go without water? really? lets see if i can beat that, oh and dont plan me in for next week because i could be stuck for a while. Alright, goodbye."

 

[troytheface]

not sure when the game comes out in so far as day of the week, but i think i will wait and play on Halloween and have a Halloween Civ attack party.
