Wait...why do I feel bad about this?

To remedy this you need to start taking your employees with you...maybe get some straws

In a hundred years, will anyone give a sh*t?

Go.

The only way we can condone this activity is if you post pix of your outing! Be safe and stretch it out one time before you put it in hibernation.

I've always use, "I'm want to go boating so I'm going to leave now".

Never had a problem with it!

I always take Mon off during the summer..and I have to admit I have banged in sick last minute... But my boss is cool with it as he knows once summer is over its all about the green backs..

Its always best for an employee to just be up front about it, use your time off as just that, time off from work. As an employer, be up front and give me a 100% when your at work, no problem on my end when you ask for something.

I'd tell my boss I was leaving, but he's already beat me out the door...

I just tell him flat out, I even make a point throughout the year to say "once boating season's here dont expect to see me here much"

Or when I see a nice day in the forecast, "Just a heads up, the boats washed and the weather looks nice tommorrow, I probably wont be here."

It was really great, my former boss was a boater, so he understood. He'd let me work 1 hour extra all week long, come friday, I had my 40 in by 9am. Although it used to upset him when he'd show up at the docks 4 hours later....and I'd say "Your late."

My favorite mid week one was "How's my work load today, your cooler is calling my name."

One time he was vacationing in a near by harbor and I wanted to dump friday.......I was pretty close to running the boat over, idle up behind his @ the slip, open up the silent choice, "hey you mind if Itake the day off?"

Ended up making it out yesterday and had a wonderful time, ran the boat hard and went through a full tank in 3-4 hours.

I used up all the sick days so I have to keep calling in dead.
