[QUOTE="rocket88, post: 165412, member: 1609"] I always make it a point to go to work every single day. I rarely get sick and try to plan my family time and functions around vacations and options days. I use 8 hr. request when I have to. If I have enough notice of a family function or event with the wife I always make sure to ask to be schedule off or get an 8 hr. request as soon as I become aware of the date. However on a day like today,up here in North Ohio (I deliver right along the lake front) I call off. Simply not worth it. However during the summer months and the dog days of August when it is 98 degrees out with 98 percent humidity day after day after day and guys are calling off left and right,saying it is too hot to work. Dangerous to one's health. Heat stroke and sun stroke. I am there Every single day doing it. But on a day like today? Nope. I earned my day of rest 5,6 and 7 months ago. I am not a "absentee problem" or a "tardy problem" and only call off of work once or twice PER YEAR if that! You can call it delayed gratification. I don't feel the least bit guilty about it.
