I always say I'm going to call in to go riding but I can never get myself to do it. I have vacation days but you have to schedule them in advance.

 

If you have never called out from work to go riding you are not a "Real Biker". J/K

I have done it several times. I usually just take a personal leave day so I don't feel guilty.

I have also left work early on many occasions to go riding. I have a huge window in my office and when it is beautiful out I cant focus on work. I usually make up for those days as well by working extra on shitty days.

I get a hour lunch break and I work out in the field all day in my neighborhood. So I frequently stop home for lunch and go for rides. Nothing like a harley and a side of wind in your face for lunch.

 

Boss "you are asking for time off to do what?"

Me "I was not asking, I was kind enough to let you know"

 

Hey Captain,
I'm sitting at a desk in Elizabethtown. What's that--1-1/2 hours north of you on 9N?
Let's fake important business & go for a ride.

 

It has been done. :-)

The ultimate win-win is when I need to visit a supplier as part of my job in an adjoining state during the Summer, so I get paid to ride!

 

when I worked at UPS, I couldn't...the boss rode as well so he would have known what was up

 

I've done the day off to ride and when its all said and done its one of the best feelings...especially when the weather cooperates.

 

I took a "personal time off" day and went to Daytona for bike week. The boss knew I was going...then I called him and said, "Hey, I'm thinking of going tomorrow, too...any problem with that?"

"No problem...be careful, and don't wind up in jail!"

However, if I knew my boss was a jerk, I would call in sick to go riding for sure!!!

 

I would NEVER do such a terrible dishonest thing.
