to watch game 3; whats the most outragious thing youve done to get out of an obligation to watch the Mighty Mighty Spurs?
I have to work today -- the night shift .
On Wensday, Game 2 I had to come in to work, they called me the day before and said they were short on people I said okay, but then I never ended up showing up and gave no notification, my response later on was I forgot.
call into work !!!
we got DVR, Cox cable's version of TIVO, makes life so much easier.
DVR has saved my ass from missing games too, but it still sucks not watching live. Especially if someone ruins it before you get to see it.
^^ I could never watch a taped game. Knowing that I could just log onto the interent and accidently see the score would blow it and knowing that I can fast forward that . I'm a pussy when it comes to self control on these types of things.
I did that on game two, I was at work and couldnt help it, but I still went home to watch.
It's outrageous to expect people to go to work at all during the playoffs, nevertheless during a game.
I worked at a Quiznos back in high school... Got tired of not bein able to follow the games... So I bought a stereo to put up there in the back.... As I worked there longer and had more pull in the store, around playoff time.... I bought a TV for the place!
I havn't worked there for yearsssss, they still have both! Bastids
I took vacation time today. lol
I had to work, and got a friend tape Manu's 48 point game versus Phoenix. After watching up until the end of the third quarter, I was so disgusted I had to come here and talk . I was in shock when I saw topics like 'Give Manu the ball and get the out the way' and 'How am I supposed to sleep after a win like that?' as soon as I opened the page.
When I worked at a truck stop in 2003 I disconnected the TV for the security camera so I could watch the game, I would have been home to watch the game but they told me I had to work late because someone else called in.
My manager saw what I was doing and right when he started to tell me something I turned to him and said "you say one ing word about me not being allowed to watch the Spurs game and Im going to ing walk right now.." He just shutup and turned away, he didnt want to have to work the register....
that went on throughout the playoffs.
I think the store had a net loss of something like 10,000.00 that month from truckers stealing antenna's and
^^ i remember that game i was cussing @ the tv and my girlfriend got pissed @ me..so i said it theyre goin to come back....and just sat there pissed....slowly they started coming back and manu was goin crazy on phx...once it got down to six i could no longer just clapped i went crazy jumpin up and down n ...im a grown guy to @ that time i was 24
oh yeah and ive called in many times to check out spurs games...one time i told my boss i had really bad diarrhea. whos gonna question that
next time you call in use this one...
Boss: o?
You: Hey boss, I dont think I can come in today....
Boss: whats wrong?
you: well, I just found out I have anal Glaucoma.... I cant see my ass coming into work today! *click*
Well I don't call-in. As dude said above with DVR, that's Comcast tivo too.
Unless it's a BIG time playoff game or something.. at least...
English er. Do you speak it?
