Default Should I call off work tomorrow????

Let's take a vote....
On the one hand, my excavator will be here and I really need to talk to him to see where he is going with this whole barn thing. He was going to turn it on an angle, but now it looks like he changed his mind. Plus he is dragging up *huge* a$$ chunks of limestone. I know he will be here because he's left about $500,000 worth of really cool equipment here.

On the other hand, I *could* probably go to work and talk to the excavator guy on the phone, even though he is ****so**** hard to get on the phone.If I call off, I will get a "verbal" warning, which is basically nothing. I'll get 3 more days to call off before I am in trouble.

I'm not a person that callsd off,,,,,, but I really do *not* want to leave this farm tomorrow!!!!

Let's have a vote.

Never blow off work on a Monday or Tuesday.

Not enough good tracks running on those days.

Save the "sick days" for Wednesday-Friday.

i never believe it when someone calls in sick on a monday--most of the time, it's just to get that three day weekend.

If you need to ask others opinion, then just stay home
