Playin' Hooky - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Psst, dudes don't tell anyone...

Your old buddy TJL is playing hooky from work today.

I woke up at my usual time this morning and I was overcome with the urge to blow off work. Why fight it, I thought, and I called in sick.

I just took a nice ride on my bike, and I'm now going to change and have some breakfast. I hope to also catch up on a few errands and work on another DVD review.

If anyone needs me I'll be faking a sore knee while I read the paper.

Seriously though, I feel like doing that everyday. I have to force myself to get out of bed each morning.

I am proud. Laziness is always a good thing, in my opinion.

Which is why I'm not going to work today, either.

To borrow a quote from the great movie "Office Space:"

"I did absolutely nothing, and it was everything I thought it could be."

last year when i wanted to go home really bad i went to the office and told them i felt sick and they just let me go home. i only did it twice in the whole year (actually 3 times because i really was sick one time) so its not like theyd get suspicious.

Yay!! Slackers unite!

I played hooky from school one time for 3 weeks.

Taking a day-off here and there is very necessary. I encourage it.

Holy smokes! That's very impressive hookying.

3 days for me... tops. I only missed 3 weeks once because I had a flu that wouldn't quit.

I almost flunked out of that class, but I must say it was a nice vacation.

That rules.

I rarely hookify myself because it makes me nervous

I did when the lights went out this year, though, and it was the only day I didn't go

Holy crap.

A few years ago whenever i wanted to stay home from school i'd plan out this complicated process, making myself look sick, planning how and when im gonna make my mom think i am sick etc. I did an awesome job one time in 7th grade when i wanted to miss school because i didn't want to go on a field trip. Now i realize all i have to do is say i feel nauseus(sp?) or whatever and the school and my dad will believe it, but that was still worth the memory.
