Tony7 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 First time since the early versions I am tempted to take sickie so can spend a few 10 hour sessions once the game is released. I am not sure what excuse to use might say I have the flu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdc747 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 Depends what day it actually comes out - if it is near the weekend I can probably wait until then however if it is mid week I might have to have a few days off school because of a nasty chest infection.

Mike7077 Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 I will tell him that his daughter has promised to pleasure me all day and, as a red-blooded male, I'm sure he understands why I have to skip work.

Wee Aja Posted September 24, 2008 Share Posted September 24, 2008 If SI had any sense, they'd release it at the weekend in the current financial climate. For the good of the economy and all that....

MSCCG Posted September 25, 2008 Share Posted September 25, 2008 Being a university student usually I would just not show up to classes. However my exams this year happen to fall early November and should finish just before the game is released. How convenient. Also my 4 month holiday afterwards should help.

millsy1982 Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 I've been quite fortunate and somehow managed to go all summer taking only two days annual leave, so I have 43 days left (carried 15 over from last year) I think I might go on Christmas holiday from the 14th November till after Christmas and New Year so I can play FM 09 at my own leisurly pace for a month and half!!!

MSCCG Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Yeah. So many boobies, and only three years to try and see them all! <------------ doing up to a 7 year degree, got lots and lots of time I'm surprised by how many people are willing to miss work for it though, don't most people only work at most a 10 hour shift?

Wayne\'o Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 for soem people they may not need an excuse. with the credit crunch. i may not have any work after 6 weeks time. so even if i buy a copt of fm09 i may not beable to play it with no income to pay bills and mortgage Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amaroq Posted September 26, 2008 Share Posted September 26, 2008 Sad but true, Wayne'o. On the other hand, if we've lost our jobs, we'll have nothing but time on our hands!
