Have you ever called out of work to play vidya?

Boss has had me doing home office for 3 months now because he is sick of the office and wants to do a Zuckerberg and rent a house with a pool for our headquarters.
The guy is 4 years older than me and still thinks like a fucking kid

Not work but I did skipped high school the day DMC 4 released.
Fun times

Yeah, I feel ya, you should be aware that sometimes people express depression through apathy and general weakness

sometimes youre just too comfy I guess

I called out today but the wagie guilt instilled in me has kept me from enjoying any vidya.

I want nothing more in life than enough free time to get really into some rpgs on my backlog, one day of calling out doesn't cut it though.

I regularly call out for Haven & Hearth world wipes. The early game is just so comfy with friends

Yeah. I work for a non-profit so I get a ton of paid leave, and I barely ever get sick so why not?

I took off for KH3

Didnt beat it and dont think I ever will

I haven't even opened it yet. I've never gotten farther in the series than beating the first two games.

>wagie as well
>management are utter retards that no one likes
>can't muster up and just fucking quit yet

I wouldn't dream of it!

Couple times a year I call in sick just because I don't fucking want to go. I end up chilling and playing vidya but it's not the reason just the cure.

Calling out of work? Don't think so bud, you're doing late night shift with me.

Took a week off for BotW, otherwise if I end up calling in anyway I’ll usually play something.

how do you guys learn to not give a shit about your job? I think about it way too much and let it stress me out and ruin things outside of work.

does it count if it was also my birthday?

Fuck you boss, i'm throwing up in front of human resources and there's nothing you can do to stop me.

No but I called off of work on April 1st just to shitpost all day with the emotes

So
shitty office job or shitty factory job?
Working in a shitty factory job right now, work overnight and make 18 burgerbucks per hour. Been contemplating if I would rather be in a cubicle and in front of a monitor all day.

I work from home so I play vidya and work at the same time

I worked in a warehouse for 1 day and never showed up again it was so soul crushing I'd rather be homeless.

Currently working at a carwash and it's not too bad, but the closing shift is so fucking sucky.

Because I hate my job.

Desk jobs aren't bad if you have a steady workload to keep yourself busy. Nothing is worse than pretending to do work all day long. Or stretching an hour's worth of work into 8 hours so your boss doesn't think they're paying you too much.

I worked in a warehouse for 6 years and you're right but it's also mindless so you can kinda just go through on autopilot. also if things got really slow we had one row of shelves in the back where boxes were only at the front and we could take turns napping.

The warehouse I worked I was the only person that wasn't Chinese besides the floor manager. It severely added to the misery and alienation I felt. Was that an issue at your warehouse?

How long have you been working there?

>I worked in a warehouse for 1 day and never showed up again it was so soul crushing I'd rather be homeless.

eh it's an improvement over retail. At least I don't have to deal with customers really

I got fired from my summer job in 2016 for giving them a two week’s notice that I’d be missing a day in June to watch an E3 press conference and they got pissed when I ended up not showing up to work that day

Attached: друг.jpg (742x557, 93K)

I did something similar. I was quitting my job and getting a new one. I started my.new job on December 10th last year. December 7th was the Friday prior, and also was the day Smash came out. When I quit my old job, I put i made my last day the 6th so I could play smash that day.

I've been working at this package production plant for two years. I guess it's not terrible since I can go on autopilot mode but I don't want to be doing this for life.
I use to work in security as the night watchman. Sitting in front of those monitors all night made me contemplate about my existence. What kind of position can I get if I have no prior experience?

It's easy, i just hate my job so i obviously don't learn to care for it. I forget about work when I'm not there.

Casual friday?

Did you tell them that it was because you wanted to watch video games?

almost a year

Not out of work, but I skipped classes for a few days when Dark Souls 2 released
The game was underwhelming compared to its predecessors, but I was just so fucking hyped to play another one anyway.

Work with the family.
They never buy that bullshit.

learn a trade or get tech certs

I work for minimum wage at a non profit. Specifically I do adoptions, vaccinations, background checks etc at a humane society. Place is well-funded, clean. Love the animals, like my coworkers. But the pay is just too shit and I'm sick of absolutely entitled RETARD customers who can't fathom why they were denied, plus I just need something more flexible when school starts back. So looking for other work despite liking the job okay besides customers

>They broke your spirit.

I call out just not to have to go to work. Just by chance if I'm playing a game that night.
Have same issue with my job. Proved I was a hard worker years ago so I never get promoted. People with less than six months experience get promoted over me and then quit three months later. Now I do the bare minimum like everyone else but still no chance of promotions. Also get expected to work harder than everyone else because I used to but fuck that.

One time I worked as a 'lab engineer' working on servers, lap tops, desk tops, monitors. I was in this like computer area in a room right next to the warehouse floor. It involved heavy lifting so it was kinda like having both of those jobs at once. My work basically consisted of pretending 2 hours worth of work actually takes the entire day. I spent most of my time watching twitch streams, youtube, listening to podcasts. One time I just straight up went to the nearby cinema and watched a movie. I had no management over my shoulders. I was expected to work independantly and I did. But there just wasn't fucking enough work.

No, because being down even one person in the restaurant business fucking sucks and I can't put my coworkers through that. One night we had fucking 4 people gone and it was hell incarnate.

How big is the restaurant? Can they not afford to have part time staff?

I did once or twice. I was working 12 hour shifts and occasionally just needed a day to unwind.
You come before your job, don't feel guilty if you need a break. Fuck em

no, mostly hispanics and blacks but aside from a few with dudebro attitudes and/or lazy making others pick up the slack most people were cool. you could talk about whatever and even if people disagreed with you it, no one would ever get upset.
I think when everyone is doing shitty work together people don't really care as long as it passes the time.

I told him that I needed to take a day off, seeing as my other coworkers have had at least 5 days off that summer and I had none. I told my coworkers about it because I didn’t think they would care and since they also play vidya as well

We were the part time staff.

Like half the guys in my high school skipped on halo reach launch day.

Nobody got counted for their absence.

They did the same thing on 4/20 DUDE WEED LMAO

Attached: 1552084548214.png (1000x1464, 536K)

that sounds like:
a) you believe you're doing a great job but actually aren't
b) you're really expecting people to come around say "hey, dude, you're awesome, take this promotion". Which in reality, just doesn't happen like that.

You gotta work towards that shit. I'm gonna assume that by following the same logic you've never asked a girl out.

where do you work?

I'm a field technician for a school district and management basically forgets about me the whole day. Usually I do like an hour of work to meet my ticket quota and then I go home all day, so I play games and do whatever I usually do. Sometimes I get called back in, but rarely. The pay is subpar, but I feel like it's too fucking cushy for me to walk away from.

I worked in retail as 'part time' and yet I was working easily upwards of 50 hours a week. Usually 6 days. I tried to negotiate with them to bring my hours down and they refused so I started taking the occasional sick day off to fucking reclaim my weekend every couple of weeks and so they fired me.

No but I've "worked from home" and played video games with slack open instead

retail

No I used to be one of those stupid people who though hard work would get me places but no it's do the least amount of work and suck up to the bosses.

>needing to call off work to play vidya
Just become a CEO and abuse your power to do whatever the fuck you want whenever the fuck you want while you get paid for other people's work, it's great.

Called in sick because I was mildly sick and stressed out and needed the personal day.

I'm a teacher so sick days always bite me in the bum down the road.

I called off yesterday and today because I got a cold (yes, in fucking July)
But I just spent 3 days in bed, can't even force myself to play vidya.

No, but I have called out to fap

this goes for anyone in retail; if you don't already have a plan lined up for the next couple years, just bite the bullet and do whatever you can to save up for a couple years to get on a different career path.

> tfw 120 hours of vacation time renews this Wednesday

They would constantly talk about me getting promoted and dangle the job in my face and I would tell them I was interested but it was always some brown noser or someone they could flirt with you got their work done by having somebody else do it for them. I don't help them out anymore. I just clock in do my job and leave. I've given up on it entirely.
Also I've been married for 11 years.

>Work in a retail job
>Show up 15 minutes early
>Manager actually expects you to start doing shit before your shift even starts and gets all pissy if you point out the time
>Show up 5 minutes late
>Get dragged into an office for half an hour about how I'm letting him and all the staff down
One time I broke a toe because it was wet out and I dropped a barrel of gas and I had to be sent off to go to a doc and get it looked at. He pulled me into the office after a few days to bitch at me for going home with an injury. He said I was "letting the staff down". The same prick used to get pissed at me when I tried to take my 20 minute breaks. Like there would be such an influx of customers I couldn't afford to take it earlier into the day and when I tried to take it while it was quiet he'd be saying it's too late to take the break and if I pushed for it he'd get extremely pissy. I fucking hated working that job.

no but i've been called out of vidya to do work

countless times

Can I get a naked Tayne?

I once though stocking shelves was a pain in the ass... then I started pushing carts

At a big ass Kroger. In the Summer. By myself because the dude working with me took a smoke break ever 12 carts. I’d honestly rather sit my ass behind a desk forever.

of course.

I plan on getting out of retail after I move out of state but it's taking forever. It'd be nice to make more than $11 an hour and I've been there 10 fucking years and I'm just not promotional material in their eyes.

God damn it, garrett, get your ass in gear.

You told people at your job that you needed a day off to watch a video game show. It isn't surprising that you got fucking fired.

No? Where the fuck do you guys work where you can just say “hey... can I have Wednesday off because the new Mario is coming out?”

>lap top

Did it get approved?

You sound like an angsty teen who got old but never grew up.

I forgot the name of the job, but you can make some good money just climbing ladders all day and taking samples from industrial vats to send off for testing.
you have to put a little bit of time in and go take an exam to get licensed, but that's a month or two of work and you're ready to start applying.
I had a friend looking into before he decided to say fuck it and go back to school for something with better advancement. I can ask him for more info if you're interested.

op here, I lied about my mom getting rushed to the hospital in an ambulance this morning to get out of a closing shift so I could sit at home and catch up on anime and play some total warhammer and persona.

I also work 70-80 hours in a week between school extracurricular (because it's saved me from getting fired multiple times now because my boss loves to see support for students), grading papers and lesson planning my work weeks are 70 hours normally. So yes, and no. Also I teach primarily the melanin enriched.

Touché. You have more guts than I, user.

This fucking retard never heard of lying before.

Dude you've got video game addiction. Get diagnosed

It never goes away user. Angst can change but it never goes away.

What difference would it make if he got diagnosed for something like that? It's a label. They're not going to turn around and go "Okay user we're going to give you 300 dollars a week because you play too many video games".

I accidentally dozed off in the office at my job a few times the other day and got fucking written up for it. I expressed to them that I wasn't sleeping on purpose I was just burnt out and they said it didn't make a difference. I'm thinking about quitting because we're overstaffed as fuck and I'm a manager so I could literally lose my job if I called off. But I'd need a new job lined up first.

* Understaffed. I'm an idiot

aaah

I took a vacation to play vidya with brother about once a year when a game we both like comes out next up is Doom Eternal and the Cyberpunk 2077

it seems like high-mid/mid level businesses tend to not want to use and abuse employees nearly as much as high/low businesses.

Honestly no, but I did consider taking at least one day off for KH3 when I was still working at my old job. I quit now but when I find work again I really don't the point of taking off the time to play what could be a mediocre release.
I'd rather just let the time accumulate and use it to fly somewhere

The worst sort of jobs you can be in is the sort with an egotistical prick who thinks his shitty little corner shop is a super market chain. They put the work of three people on one person's back and wonder why they have high staff turnover.

Why would you tell them that was the reason lol?

Honesty gets you nowhere in the workplace

I really hate my job and know theyd put me on a performance plan before firing me, at which point I'd look for a job. I'm in IT support so push come to shove I could find something plus I have sales experience and theyll hire anyone to cold call all day for 40k easily. I'd be ok

>Cold calling
Don't take a nigger job like that.

If someone tries to get me to come in on my day off, my day off is ruined. Sure I can make an excuse, or just say no, or pretend I didn't get the message. But I always feel guilty after. And I always think, 'I'd want someone to cover me, I'm being selfish'.

Always ask yourself if co-workers will cover for you?
Because I remember maybe covering someone once but no one ever covered me at my old job. It's kill or be killed

i'm very good at my job because i have half a fucking brain, and i honestly hate working with other people so i just get shit done because i know it will be done properly. my manager knows this and when shit isn't done properly he gets shit on by company ownership directly, so he appreciates what i do. and he shows he appreciation in the form of a 6k raise, promise of a promotion to what my cert qualifies me to do, and more raises.

I would say a trade, but I'm a plumber and I fucking hate the company I'm with because I work 10+ hours a day, even more if you're on call, and 6 days a week when on call. But I can't move to another company because every other company has 24 hour emergency services and fuck that god damn noise. I hate the company and people I work for but there's no escape for me anytime soon

Not gonna lie guys... I make like $180k a year and I call out of work at least once a week between using a sick day or a vacation day.I get 25 of each so that basically covers me for the entire year.

FFXIV wasn't worth playing during Stormblood. Balance was all over the place. PVP is bare bones to appease 50 IQ retards. Story wasn't even particularly good compared to Heavensward. And dealing with retarded german/french faggots all day to complete minimal effort """""raids""""" that consist entirely of a small arena was insufferable. It honestly felt like a fucking job logging on to play with those people.

Huh. Maybe just try to end up as management of whatever you work in?

Haven't touched it but they tend to fall into the same development cycles each expansion where eventually they just have you autistically grinding in instances to level up relic weapons. It's not fun.

You're thinking about it all wrong. You're NOT supposed to specify.i'm taking a few days off at the beginning of August so I can watch EVO. Of course, I'm not going to tell them that.

I have a relative who works as a manager. By no means does he have to get involved with the physical side of the work but he does it anyway from time to time to make it look like he's 'doing his part'. Really he just sits on his ass 90% of the time looking at tickets. He literally does it just to put out the illusion that he's one of the boys.

Right now I'm only making 11$hr but let me say this; whenever I go out on lunch and see McWagies or spic laborers, I thank God I went to college. I may not be making dramatically more (yet), but my quality of life is better.

Desk jobs are like getting paid to do school work.

>Calling out
>Not just requesting days off for big releases

I had 3 days in a row earlier this year and I blew it all on KH3. Satisfying as fuck.

The legal costs have to be a bitch, though.

I made more an hour with my supermarket parttime job I had during college.

Easy, just see all your top performing colleagues not get rewarded or even punished
I was a solid B student throughout college, I have no qualms about being above average but not a go-getter at this slow and meandering job where people come to retire, when I'm so young
In fact, we're about to hit a deadline, all my work is finished and I'm about to see this dude not deliver for the umpteenth time in a row but he's untouchable because he's in our manager's trust circle
I smile, crack jokes, do 1 hour of work in a day sometimes, and have a generally pleasant time, but also plan my exit strategy for when I get a couple years and some new skills under the belt

Yeah, I'm just grateful I got hired when they were asking for 3-5yrs experience. Supposedly every 3 months for the 1st year I'm getting a 2.75hr raise. And they eventually wanna make me a staff accountant 40+k salary.

Nah, ever since I got a real job I barely even play videogames anymore as it is.
Use to love dumping a shitload of hours into RPG's but nowadays I just feel guilty about it, like I wasted the day or something. Hell, I told myself I'd play videogames this entire 4 day break we got for 4th of july but instead i spent like an afternoon on civ6 and watched TV shows for the rest of it instead.

Ironic considering how many guns I personally own. More people need to be armed.

Kek are you me?

>Can't use a gun to put out a fire.
Ummm actually sweatie, you can. It's called a Super Soaker.

I tried to stretch my 1-2 hours of work but some days there was actually nothing to do so I’d just get on my phone. Emulators are a true lifesaver. I think I was getting like 18-19. I’m just pointing out that “earning” a decent job isn’t always earned. I did one favor for the boss and got hired, got paid to sit on my ass. No qualifications but it was fine since no real work. Doing that for a while made me realize I wanted to work somewhere I felt I was doing something.

I used to use a vacation day to experience a wow expac launch. I never expected to actually make progress just wanted to see hordes of people doing shit, bugging quests, all that stuff in real time.

Will never forget the mass of people standing around the Garrison scope thing waiting for a fix

Already did. Looks amazing.

I was referring more to the pigs

My job is super easy and menial, and I won`t be fired unless I literally do nothing all day/fuck up so bad in cuts into the profits, which is nearly impossible to do in my position. I have maybe 4 hours of work to do all day, and that's me working slowly. The only way that I feel anything like what you are saying is that I have to go to bed pretty early and I have to rush through breakfast, and i usually feel all shitty on sundays knowing I have to go back to work the next day.

We actually took a bet on if he was actually sick or not, so we talked to the hiring manager to pull up his Facebook profile and we saw a selfie posted the hour before he called in sick saying "Hell yeah bro, waited a long time to play this GOAT" and it's a picture of his 4K TV set up on banana cardboard boxes, shitty looking beef stew in the saddest plastic bowl, with his "GF" on his lap. He technically had vacation days, so we were perplexed on why he made up an excuse to call in sick

Took a vacation day when N. Sane trilogy came out

Too many. Too many. We're fast, faster than most, but we can only move so fast

No. I enjoy working to a point. I only ever called in 'sick' when I was so exhausted and depressed.
Even then, I usually just use my 'sick leaves'.
When I figured I didn't really like working there anymore, I resigned instead.

>actually enjoying new job
>none of my coworkers play vidya
Money-making breaks so games don't get stale as quickly desu

For me it’s outdoor labor, even during the shittiest days I’ve still felt fulfilled and content with my work
I’ve worked in the food industry, worked in a factory and worked in an office/lab environment. All were so soul crushing I even contemplated sudoku at work one night. Working indoors is torture for me

I took a week of vacation to play the release of Witcher 3. Not one bit of regret doing so.

I'm sorry, user. I feel that. I used to be a phone salesman at a reeeally slow store. One day, after 8 hours alone with no customers and making minimum wage, the sudoku thoughts began to creep on me too. Stay strong, friend.

Who where likes their job? I install glass for 18 bucks a hour, from 6am to 2pm. Have the entire afternoon to myself.

Work really depends on a person.
I found myself excelling in graveyard shifts, and despise travelling because it's tiring going to some place and back on the same day.
But, then again, I guess it also depends if the job is shit and if outdoors and indoors are good environments.

Reminder that you owe your job nothing. As soon as you find a better job that looks good, take that opportunity. They'll find a replacement for you soon enough. Company loyalty is bullshit and so long as you remain professional and work at places for a reasonable amount of time, no one will bat an eye.

Yeah, I scheduled a day off 3 months in advance so I could play DMC5 at midnight

I liked my retailcuck job as a barista at a community college, paid barely above minimum wage but it was comfy and I didn't have to do too much work or clean bathrooms. I actually enjoyed it when customers asked for more complex drinks, gave me something to do.
The cafe shut down due to the college remodeling so we couldn't operate it until they finished remodelling so any employees that wanted to stay were transferred to work at the bookstore or moved to another cafe in a nearby town. (they're owned by the same company). I left because I didn't enjoy the bookstore work (lots of standing around and dealing with students that can't comprehend we don't buyback books that have any water damage on it.
From what I've learned from a friend that still works there, the college JUST started renovating so the cafe could have remained open for like 3 more years before we shut down. They kept on delaying the remodelling plans.

No but I've requested off for vidya launches before

This guy knows what's going on. If you're worried your work friends will resent you for quitting, don't be. They'll stick around, and congratulate you once you start your new job. Fuck company loyalty.

Every goddamed day I'm internally screaming and eager to call out, but I never go through with it because I'm a coward.

I had a real nice comfy job at my community college's IT help desk.
Had to help students and staff, but nothing over baring ever, I could handle it.
It was minimum wage, but the schedule and workload made me love it.
What sucks was that it was only for a COOP semester and I was forced to leave.

I called off the first couple days of E3 to watch the coverage of new vidya while playing current vidya in between.

that's pathetic

Yeah I've done that. Can't remember the last time I did though. I never call out anymore cause I actually like my job.

All kinds of progression and opportunities. All kinds.

>I worked in a warehouse for 1 day and never showed up again it was so soul crushing I'd rather be homeless.
This was me one time during university. I applied for this warehouse job near my house because they told me like 5 times that it was simply going to be 5 hour shifts at maximum in the evening and it seemed like a good way to get extra money because i had no evening classes.

First day goes on for 9 hours and I never came back because of how fucking shit it was

Why? I rarely ever get sick anyway and I got paid to play games and watch E3. We have limited paid sick days so it's there to be used and everyone does.

You never give a reason for why you need to take a day off unless you're calling on short notice. If I want a day off next week I just text my supervisor to find someone to cover that shift for me and she comes back with an answer in a couple days

I had the same thought when I started my $12/hr job, but seriously, it drains your soul knowing that your degree makes you less money than a high school dropout friend of yours makes just because he puts in a dozen hours' overtime.

I value my quality of life and quality of work, but jesus fuck, I seriously need a raise.

Attached: A6084B06-2AEE-4933-973A-5CA21757091B.gif (400x321, 1.66M)

Constantly. I work for state government and we’re given 4 hours of sick and regular leave biweekly. Plus, the job itself is just document processing, so taking even multiple days off in a month isn’t a problem.

Also, high school dropout here, you autists have no excuse. Just learn to be sociable and you’ll always be fine.

I've only been to college for a year before I dropped, but yeah, exams stress me out and part of me wonders if it was just the college I went to or if I can't handle pressure at all. Family gives me shit for leaving but fuck it, it was a miserable experience.
I may look into going to a trade school and see how I fare there since I still want a better paying job.

I've walked off the job more than once for silly reasons. I once just stopped showing up because I just didn't wanna go so I sat at home and watched The A-Team while my phone rang off the hook and I got a dozen voicemails. Took three days for them to stop calling.

Worked a furniture moving job for a day. 10$ an hour. Only paid when moving boxes. No pay in transit between jobs. Quickest nope in my life. I made nearly more in tips than actual pay. (Was out working for 8 hours, got paid for four). Made 30$ in tips.

Got told if I don’t use my days I lose them because you can’t have anymore than 60

After I finished The A-Team, I watched Burn Notice and The Dollars Trilogy. Then I eventually got another job at a liquor store, which I also quit because I actually called in and said I wasn't showing up and the dude went apeshit so I just hung up the phone and he called back and left a message saying I was fired. Then I got a job working for a consulting agency and I make about 175K USD a year.

It's popular for hip Californian tech companies to offer "unlimited vacation." That is, you don't have a limited pool of paid time off and you just request it and get it approved. They do this for 3 reasons:

1. It creates a scenario where the employee feels less entitled to the time off, so they're less likely to take as much time off ad they would if it was a use-it-or-lose-it pool of limited time.
2. It allows the employer to more easily deny time off requests, for the same reason as above (employee feels less entitled to it, will be less mad about it being denied).
3. In California, PTO hours are considered a form of wages, so if there's PTO left over at the end of the year or when someone leaves employment the employer is required to pay it out as money to the employee. But if your time off is "unlimited" you can't be required to pay it out to employees because it's not an enumerated benefit.

So basically, it's a highly anti-employee method of providing paid time off that brainlets are tricked into thinking is a good thing because they're enamored by the word "unlimited."

I have as many sick days as I want as no other person before me abused it. So I burn 3-4 a year on major vidya releases. Luckily I only ever get sick maybe once or twice a year and can stand to go to work while I am.
I'm getting into my early 30's now though and worried I might actually get more sick these days.

Mine lives with me and I do most of the cooking too. Sometimes I just wanna cut back in food and stuff and save, but then she complains. Or when she says its fine, she has that tone like "Wow, you're acting different."

My backlog is at astronomical proportions.

Meanwhile I'm out here just burning sick days for frivolous things otherwise I'd never use them.

Work at a hospital get paid 11hr full time, live with mom and dad. This is my second job(im 19) this is my second year at this hospital. Going to college again this August. I dropped out last year after 2 weeks. Parents said I dont have to work, that they'll pay my classes but I just dont feel right with that.

Pair that with taking a bunch of solo days for vacation to get 3 day weekends for new vidya and it was a comfy year past 12 months. I can tell a couple people in the workplace dont like that I spread my days out instead of taking whole weeks but im not the "go somewhere overpriced and frantically over-plan for a week" type.

>Make up a legitimate enough sound excuse
>Don't even feel bad because it's true in some form
I'd only feel bad if I fucked over my coworkers for that night, but management's shitting scheduling would always fuck me over when I worked too.

lol we torrented Skyrim night of release, didn't go into class next day.
I went down to the liquor store that didn't card, got a big ass bottle of some tasty red with a huge mouth, and ate it with meat and cheese for an "authentic" medieval experience

Yeah story is great.
Echoing the job sentiment though. Shit needs more content besides grind all the levels and maybe get some glam.

Never shit where you eat, user. Coworkers are for working with and nothing else. Do not befriend coworkers, do not fuck coworkers, do not date coworkers. Find friends and lovers literally anywhere else and never cross the streams.

I ignored a job offer to play Cuphead when it came out.

No. But when I was in highschool I skipped a day of school to finish Red Dead Redemption

>It's at an accounting company
>11$hr
what are you doing dude? you should be making close to double that even if you're a first year industry accountant. triple you're you're actually going for something that makes money.

damn who animated that? That looks cool

>Guy at my previous job has been there for 10 years
>Gets savagely fired cause he impregnated a new employee
>They had twins
I was like gawd dayum.

No but one time I called in so I could go back to bed and cry myself to sleep. I played a bit of vidya when I woke up, so maybe that counts.

Yeah I stopped going to work at Disneyland to finish playing new God of War

>finish school in December and get a job as a manager at a car dealership through family
>the job is basically a glorified errand boy but pays in the range of 40-60k a year
>most days have maybe 3-4 hours max of “work”
>Slowly becoming more and more depressed at how pointless the work I’m doing is and how it has nothing to do with my life

What the fuck should I do? Is it worth staying till maybe a year is up or should I get the fuck out now before I lose all of my remaining sanity?

I booked a week off work to watch SGDQ

family or not, unless that manager position was a lateral move from a previous job then I would suggest looking for something else, even if you were enjoying the job. it sounds horribly mismanaged and it's most likely going to blow up in your face one way or another.

Are you fucking crazy? Figure out what you want to do with your life before you do anything, then stay with that job until you've saved up enough money to do whatever it is that you've decided on.

where do people like you work where you are paid for being there 8 hours per day, 40 hours per week sometimes even more, yet all you do is an hour worth of work and still manage to keep your job?

are you a supervisor who sits in the office all day bossing people around and shit?

>sit at a desk for 8 hours whilst listening to podcasts or vidya ost, have ran out of work to do till september
>in one screen have my work shit, on the smaller one have 4chins, look for miniatures online or read on rpg rulesets
>wiggle my mouse from time to time and pretend to type shit into the database

Based and redpilled
What faction in TWW

not him, when one week of training for anyone pulled off the street isn't enough and you get your work done then but you can get away with a lot in a more secure field. it also happens a lot at mid range independently owned businesses.
either way there's usually a decent bit of crunch time to put in one way or another.

Dilate

I called out of work during E3 to watch with Yea Forums a few years ago. Worth it.

Anyone else /amazon/ here? Life gets dimmer every passing day.

I want to every day I'm not there the company falls apart and my job gets harder once I'm back.

3-4? Try 15. The turn over rates so high they won't fire me because i'm slightly above mediocre. thinking I might go for 16 to play Dragon Quest Builders.

i never call in and infact i tend to get called in on my days off
i miss neetdom

They were the ones that told me that the job existed in the first place. I didn’t think one day off in comparison to the others’ 5+ days off would break their hearts.

smoking pot and playing vidya is as natural as breathing for me, so yeah whenever I call in I'm usually playing vidya

Yeah. Very recently, actually. A Friday and Monday to play Shadowbringers when it dropped. A buddy of mine who works with mee took off a whole week for it.
Before that, the only one I recall was Dark Souls 3 in 2016.

i work a gov job so i use all the times i can skip.

did it many times for vidya too

sure you can cuck people but expecting loyalty too? delusional

I've requested off for a day for vidya when a new release hit a couple of times.

>he actually picks up the phone for his boss when he's off the clock

I ignore it, fuck them
