Default Calling in sick to ride?

I found out yesterday at work that everyone on my team got a raise to bump us up to the industry standard. We have 8 guys on our team, all of us started around the same time, have the same title and do the same job. All of them got more money than i did for some reason. So, to combat that screwing, i called in sick today. Just so happens its 65 degrees and pure sun today in portland oregon. I called my buddy who also has the day off, he has a sportster too. Were leavin on a ride in a few minutes on the nicest day this spring so far here. Backroads of Washington/Oregon, they can keep thier extra money, this is priceless!

If you've done it before, maybe your boss saw you on your bike feeling really sick...Mark...

Could it be that you have called in "sick" more often than the other seven guys ???
Have a nice ride anyway.

I'm taking delivery on the 14th of April, and I can already feel a cold coming on so badly that I just KNOW that I won't be able to make it to the office on that following Monday.

Too bad... I'll probably miss out on a lot of pissin' and moanin'.

Ride on! Ride safe!

Think of it as a "mental health day", not a sick day

I hate wasting sick days on days that I'm actually sick. They're just extra vacation days, in my book.
