what ever happen to 'flex time?" don't bosses allow people flex time for doctor appointments and other stuff? if you work for a company that doesn't offer reasonable flex time you might want to look for another employer who is employer friendly

not only did I allow flex time but I sometimes told employees to cut out early when we were all caught up. I would give them a 1/2 hour and by the end of the month they give me hours.
don't they teach this at COX?

Great if clock watching the hours at your desk is your main concern. I have meetings with clients amd deadlines to make sure people meet. Hard to just cut out at 4 and lose several hours of my day and make clients and coworkers all rearrange their schedule around a basketball game.

I am all lined up to be there early - just don't like the tone on here. Not everyone can make it early. That makes them busy, not bad fans or unworthy to attend

Surely, you jest. Life is too short. Whatever you do is not more important than this game.

Bingo. Keno. We have a winner.

My thoughts exactly. If the people I work with don't like it after all the sweat, blood and tears I pour into this enterprise at this point, they are very welcome to fire me. I'm an SMU grad - I will land on my feet no problem. Their loss. This game is historical. The work will be there tomorrow (NO ONE has EVER had a regret on their death bed that went something like this: "I wish I had just WORKED more.")

I hope everyone follows your example. Even those who will be watching the game on TV.

I've told the wife that I will not be giving our 11 month-old daughter a bath nor will I be reading stories tonight. Dad is taking tonight off (her bedtime is 7:15).

Father of the year!

Oh man, I'm having horrible digestive distress and flatulence. For the good of the firm I better leave and "work" from "home"

Now that's what I am talking about! A true team player. So sorry for your flatulence.
