PLAYING HOOKY FROM WORK...DO YOU DO IT?

[Boujee Bonita Braxton]

I did that shyt all the time at Carsons! When I was ready to leave I would call with the worst reasons. One of the last ones I used was like:
Store prompt:thank you for calling Carsons please listen as our ---
*presses 0 for operator*
Operator: thank you for calling Carsons this is _____ how may I direct your call?
Me: can u speak to an on duty manager to call off?
Manager: why are you calling off Milk n cookies
Me: I tripped over my dog and my ankle is swollen.
Manager:
Me: I took some Tylenol but there is still swelling & I can barely walk.
Manager: alright get better...
Me: okay will do thanks.

Told my sisters we can go shopping


Now, I barely take off. I don't love my job but, I'd rather be there than at Carsons

But yeah I used to call out every other day at my old job.

This is the 2nd time I've lied to get out of work at this one. The first time was back in January.

What do you do for a living? That sound like a call center

Bingo!

 

[ReturnOfJudah]

I called in Monday. Shot ball Fri/Sun and body was hurting like hell. Couldn't make it on Monday lol

You did say you are a locksmith. That sounds like a pretty chill job. At least all of your clients are happy/relieved to see you.

People stay on hold for HOURS just so they can curse me out....



Breh! My thoughts exactly! The shyt is depressing!

Having to turn a movie off half way thru cuz you got to go to bed

Getting depressed when you wake up and realize its Sunday and tomorrow is Monday

My baby didn't get attached to me til he was 7 months old cuz im barely home

Pushing trips back to Feb then May then Sept, then trip is only 6 days long

Hating ass bills realize you got money saved up and sky rocket on you

Only can hit gym during peak hours when every equipment is in use
and you got to park 2 blocks away

Being a grown man that lets another man talk sternly to him cuz he controls his pay

I can see why some people chose the illegal route, shyt is modern day slavery

 

[Gold]

Nah, I really can't afford to.

All the meetings I would miss and all the backlog of email... it would honestly be more work to skip work than actually go to work

 

[Ol’Otis]

Yo fine ass need a spanking

 

[Boolean]

You missing out on money another prime example of hustling backwards

 

[Boujee Bonita Braxton]

Yo fine ass need a spanking

I know. Tomorrow is my off day but I may stay late on Friday to clear my conscience.

 

[Ol’Otis]

I know. Tomorrow is my off day but I may stay late on Friday to clear my conscience.

I hope you enjoy your "day off"
Lounging and eating while your coworkers are working

Well it aint always chill. Sure they're relieved to see me but some customers expect me to pick their lock in 10 seconds. Not every lock is the same. Some locks take me 10 seconds, some may take me 10 minutes. If i tke longer than 2 minutes, i might have a customer looking over my shoulder with the face thinking I dont know wtf I'm doing. That part can be pretty stressful.

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

Once I'm at work you might as well stay there

But I always waste 2 or 3 random days a year out of personal time just for that, personal time. You take for granted how useful a random Tuesday off is.

. You must be a supervisor or a manager

Never played hooky from work, I get a lot of time to myself and have my laptop with me, so I generally don't see the point.
Used to do it from school though, that first time I saw the warm blue September sky at 1pm on a Wednesday I almost cried
I would go explore the city or hang out with a friend enjoying the beautiful day

Yeah I stayed playing sick or skipping school.

It's amazing that I graduated on time...or graduated at all!

My kids won't be getting away with shyt! I know the game!
