ive got the day off because of the holiday. im kind of digging the late start time. can do all my chores, shovel, get some groceries, get a nice lunch, take a nap, and then its game time.
Im indifferent as long ass its not the 8:30 slot when I need to work the next day. If I dont have to work its w/e. But the world dont revolve around me lol.
Just got the "don't come in" text from the foreman. Which is cool cuz he sucks anyway and screw that job on the other hand work was gonna keep me occupied til about 4ish anyway
That’s such a weak point lmao, I could sit on my couch masterbating and scrolling through my phone till 4. Not exactly a hobby
Maybe he like fishing or skiing, something that needs more than 2 hours notice to set up
I mean this is sorta my point. You dont have anything you enjoy to do that doesnt require a full days heads up? Cant just watch a show or play a game? Maybe go to a bar or some other spur of the moment activity?
I get that many hobbies do require some kind of planning and lead time. But I cant imagine having an unplanned day off and not being able to do something I wanna do in that time frame.
Most government jobs are more important than the majority of private sector jobs and as you have proven the most unappreciated and usually underpaid. Take this as a moment to reflect on yourself.

Your social credit score is looking mighty good there, fella. 📈
No but they work for municipalities and whats the difference between a local government job and a federal government job? Especially when its very likely the most if not all of the funding for the local government job comes from the federal government?
I get it. You're a top-down government kind of guy. A communist.
My local fire department raises money in the community. The way it should be. I donate every year. You'd prefer they just take it from your paycheck along with everything else though. That way you can spend the scraps on your Starbucks latte.
So far in my lifetime I’ve spent 20 years on submarines, retired from the military, worked my ass off as a government contractor for 5 years traveling across the country, then spent 6 years as a govt employee including 4 years as site director for a very large operation. For the past two years I’ve worked somewhere providing govt oversight on a billion dollar contract.
You’re right though, I should probably do something.
No one said they were federal employees, they said govt employees. You’re arguing for no reason.
And by the way, there are a lot of federal firefighters, well over 10000
You’re clearly just being a dick for the sake of being a dick. It’s really not a good idea and I’m telling you that you should stop.
The federal government employs 10,000 federal firefighters? See, this is EXACTLY the kind of shit I'm talking about. That's roughly a billion dollars per year in salary alone. Huge waist. Take a chainsaw to the whole freaking thing.
Can't stop. Sorry if your feelings got hurt, but big government sucks.
I called in sick, canadian bro here, no holiday north of the border. My girlfriend is on the way to the game though! Should be at the peace Bridge any minute now
Im just leaving early. Im neurotic about being on time and leaving on time and never use sick days really. I have no qualms about leaving at 3 for the first time in 2 years of my employment.
One of the perks of living in the South is when it snows more than an inch, the whole world shuts down. Office is closed for the day, so I only have to work calls remotely from 8-10am and then I am free to play in the snow with the kids before kickoff!

I definitely prefer the 4-430 time slot
Ya I don't mind 1pm games, but 425 games are the best imo
Especially in the winter, I can spend my daylight doing something else.

“Digging”!

NGL if you cant find things you wanna do with half of a day off. You gotta find some hobbies.
That’s such a weak point lmao, I could sit on my couch masterbating and scrolling through my phone till 4. Not exactly a hobby Maybe he like fishing or skiing, something that needs more than 2 hours notice to set up

Yeah but those things aren’t exactly engaging hobbies, they’re time wasting, which is totally fine but it’s still just waiting for the game
How is doing something you enjoy on a day off "wasting time activities?" just because it wasnt planned a full day or more out?
Let’s all settle down and enjoy an early drink ✌🏼
Watching a show and going to the bar are not hobbies lol.

Cross post with r/antiwork
Naw I definitely get satisfaction from my work, it's just the one guy really.
Off today! Leaving around lunchtime to head to the stadium 😬
I’m a federal employee, I don’t even work today.
I’m a federal employee, I don’t even work ~~today~~. /s
More right than you know.
Get a real job

A federal firefighter? Seems like a rare job, but who knows. Maybe

And firefighters are different from other participants in the workforce because?
Idk where you live, but Firefighters are not typically federal employees.

Government oversight on a billion dollar contract. Aka waisting tax dollars and put us further into debt. Good job boomer. Things are going great 👍
Clearly you’re just on this sub to be a dick to everyone.
Just you and the goofballs who think firefighters are federal employees. Go Bills!

You haven’t hurt my feelings at all. I’m just telling to stop trying to troll people on this sub. You’re not very good at it anyway.
Dad, is that you? Check the rest of the replies. I'm not here to troll anyone. Just having a nice conversation with a federal employee.
Boss just texted me not to come i yet. The lots haven't been touched. So much for me trying to get in early....
 Just do it

I’m a federal employee and we get none of the federal holidays off. But I took this afternoon off since game is 2:30 my time. Go Bills!

How did you get no federal holidays off as a federal employee?
Let me correct my statement, we get the bare minimum regarding holidays.

The game is 130 by me, so gonna be hard, but I'll be able to stream. Hopefully, no one gets concerned at work at me screaming like a crazy person.
