Everybody needs the occasional mental health day!

Let's fake important business & go for a ride.
Nice riding up in Etown, we should do that this summer...lol

1) Just ride the bike into work.
2) Take a looooong lunch break. (Some of those long lunch have me end up taking the rest of the afternoon off)
3) And then a little early and take the long way home.

LOL, this is me nearly every day. I find myself leaving for work a lot earlier when spring hits. The earlier I get in, the earlier I can get out. (Long lunch breaks too)!

As far as sick days? Yep, happens occasionally. Luckily, ours are considered "sick\personal" days and we can take them whenever we like. I'm thinking tomorrow is one of those days; supposed to be 70+ and sunny......

I don't think I am going to call in tomorrow. But Fridays are my half days so I think I will leave the office about 1100, swing my Twin Peaks or Hooters for lunch, and then put a few hundred miles on the bike. Since riding to work is a 150 mile round trip I should have no problem with 200 or 300 tomorrow afternoon.

Been done 3 days already this year.
Also, ride to work & take long lunches & frequently leave early when the weather is nice. It's hard to concentrate on work when there are more important things to focus on, like riding, lol.

I fart at work ALOT and have an unscrupulous reputation for farting. I have everyone convinced that I have a digestive problem. I really don't have a problem but what they don't know won't hurt them. Sometimes I take a half hour to **** and come out holding my stomach or make comments about how the ******* is off limits for a while. I use this to my advantage so that everytime I call in, people know what the problem is...or they think they know! I see tomorrow that the weather is looking dam good but my stomach is begining to act up already!!!

Exactly how it should be done! I can clear a room, and I will do it in times of need... I'm definitely shitting my pants on the way to work tomorrow.

Being self employed actually COSTS me money to split on a nice day, but I do it.
