[QUOTE="AKCoverMan, post: 1718257, member: 17867"] This is why I don't call in "sick" if I'm not sick. Twice in ten years I've needed time off for an event that was likely to get my picture in the paper or on the local news. One time I was able to get another driver to switch his option day to another Friday. He wasn't doing anything in particular that day just wanted a three day weekend. I gave him a $50 gift card to a popular local eatery for his kindness. The second time there was no deal to make. My attendance is fine so I called in and said I was [B]not [/B]sick but I was not available to work and would be absent. I was not paid sick pay and it counted as an attendance occurrence but I could not be charged with dishonesty. And I had a great time! From time to time stuff outside of UPS actually takes priority. :thumbup: [/QUOTE]
