agentsmith413 0 #26 October 29, 2010 Quote Quote i think that article is full of crap. It says something like 29% of people called out of work when not sick... Are you kidding me?I'd bet the number is closer to 75%. My sick days are reserved for when something fun comes up and i have to work that day. not for when im sick. +1 If you're gonna feel like shit, might as well do it on company time!! In fact, I kinda feel a cough coming on for tomorrow... and right before the Halloween Boogie too Man dont tempt me to call out too... I plan on jumping all day tomorrow and i have to go work tonight for the overnight then go jumping right after. Damn its gonna be an exhausting day.Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, all used up, and loudly proclaiming: Wow, what a ride!

regulator 0 #27 October 29, 2010 Quote I don't get sick very much. I take my sick leave when I do. I can also take it for doctor's appointments or for children's sickness, so that is a nice benefit to have. I have a huge amount of sick time saved, I guess my plan is to use it if I ever have a skydiving accident. ----------------------------------------------------------- Look if you want to get away with being away from work and not having to answer any questions when you get back....(it helps to have a job you dislike). But just man up..go tell your boss that you just caught Gonorrhea from a hooker you banged a few nights ago. No one is going to want to see your pubes and I'm pretty sure no one will want to breach tthat subject publicly. It's a win-win situation....you get to be off work...and everyone is now afraid to talk to you. Brilliant! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kkeenan 13 #28 October 29, 2010 I did the entire Lost Prairie Boogie on Sick Time, one year. I had to call in sick each morning around 8:00 (Eastern Time), which was 6:00 at LP. Since cell phones weren't working from the DZ, that meant driving a few miles to the lodge by the lake every morning. A pain in the ass, but got me up for the early loads and saved a week of Vacation Time.Kevin K. _____________________________________ Dude, you are so awesome... Can I be on your ash jump ?

Then again, that's where drdive comes in.

pinkfairy 0 #32 November 1, 2010 They always stop asking when I offer to go into details about my throat infection or tummy trouble. But my friend had a great one: called in sick from the dropzone, and his co worker who knows he jumps picks up the telephone. At that moment, one of the turbine engines of the AN-28 starts. It's a quite distinctive sound, a bit more high pitched than a TO, it says "dropzone" and "skydiving" like nothing else. The co worker listens to this for a while and goes "You owe me one!" Relax, you can die if you mess up, but it will probably not be by bullet. I'm a BIG, TOUGH BIGWAY FORMATION SKYDIVER! What are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
thedude325 0 #33 November 1, 2010 We were partying and at 3 am, decided to drive to miami beach. We got there at sunrise, and I called in while sitting on south beach. The guy on the other line couldn't hear me because of the wind. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
