Well, I took off today & tomorrow so that will count as my July 13th.

Summer Vacation = Every day off. My friends might not see me for that week, I just hope they don't think I'm dead.

I'm not sure, still holding out that I have the game on Saturday so I can battle all weekend. If not over the weekend I'll be taking off on Tuesday to battle.

I take a half day on the 13th and then the rest of the week. Married with 2 kids so I've got to take some time off to get some quality playing time. Plus my bday is the 18th so I use it as an excuse to take time off work.

Thinking about taking some time, most likely on the 14th since wife works and kiddo is at daycare. I'll be home on the 13th though, watching the kiddo since wife is scheduled on an usual off-day, so I'll probably get a bit of time in if little one takes a nap......doubtful.

All of my busy stuff will be done the day before and I'll be completely free(as far as I know) that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which is definitely refreshing. The past 3 years I've been busy the week of release and never got much play time. It'll be like it was when I was a kid when I'd get the game and wouldn't leave my room until that Friday. :D

If I don't get the game early I'll take the 13th off doing the midnight release.

I am hoping to get it on the 15th. Unfortunately I can't afford to take any time off. And the next week I will be moving too (hopefully). So it will be some late nights, but I'll get my time in :)

I will be taking the 12th (getting the game at midnight), 13th, 14th and 15th off. I am married with two kids and I am going to need those days to get a good amount of gaming in for a guy with all the stuff I have going on. Most of my playing time will be during nap times and after the kids go to bed.

It rocks though to write your own schedule so I am able to do stuff like that.

I requested the 13th-20th off six months ago and I got it, so I won't be leaving my house during that time period.

Its sucks being in summer school, so I can't really take a day off, but I think I'll up late nights playing this game instead of studying.

I was going to take off, but it just so happens a new project came up that's going to keep me very busy for July.

Same here. Originally planned to take Tuesday through Friday off, but management changed their mind. Too much going on...

Pretty much same thing for me. I was going to have the 12th and 13th off but after being promoted yesterday and having to take over a new store on the 14th it looks like me having the 14th and 15th off is not going to happen.

Congrats on the promotion. Being an adult really cuts into the gaming time, doesn't it?

Thanks on the congrats, I am really excited about the promotion but yes it's going to cut into my game time to begin with. Geez, with two kids, a wife and a new promotion my game time is going to be precious. I should have just enough time for my dynasty (Idaho State, check it out) and my online dynasty and that's about it.

My wife and I just had our first in March. Between him, 60 hour work weeks, and my wife being in school nights, I'm going to be lucky to get into a grove with one dynasty. Will definitely check out your Bengals dynasty though.

I'll be taking off on the 13th. With a wife that is currently 34 weeks pregnant with our first child, I have to enjoy the game while I can.

I'm leaving work at noon on the 13th. By 12:15 game will be on with beer in hand.

LOL! Oooh! Ooooh! Me! And I believe ... *cough, cough* I feel a summer cold coming on, and the gestation period is roughly 10 days ... I call it the Tiburon flu.

Nah, not really. I'm the boss, and it's summer no one misses me. I'm like Michael Scott. :P

I miss the days of being in school and getting to just veg out on the couch during the initial week. Unfortunately, I'll be in the office on the 13th. However, I currently have a week long business trip scheduled for the week after release and that should bring a TON of down time so I'll be packing the PS3 and hoping TSA doesn't drop my PS3 when I bring it through security.

I made it so I work late on the 12th, so that when I get off, I can go right up to GameStop when I get off. I took the 13th off, not sure about anymore than that though.

I'll probably go on a break at work around midnight and go pick the game up. Then once I get I get off, I'll be up for a while since my class doesn't start til 12.

I'm officially off Tuesday. I had told my boss I needed Monday and Tuesday off. J said Monday incase I found it early, but since I didn't Midnight release it is!

I just took a week off. I may take the Wednesday off because I won't be getting the game until Tuesday after work. It's hard for me to play much during the day with two kids. They want my attention and not for me to just sit on the couch playing games. Can't blame them.

Pfft, they should definitely get their priorities straight.

Just rescheduled my only meeting tomorrow until Thursday so I can now successfully take the afternoon off from work! Going to see a customer at 9, picking the game up around 10 and then am going to take off the rest of the day to play. Can't wait for that meeting to get over.

Someone is trying to mess with my day off tomorrow for NCAA.


There is four of us in my "group" at work. Only one can be off at a time because having two off would just put the other two in a huge bind.

So I come in today and remind the other three that I am off tomorrow. Well one girl is complaining about not feeling well, she has boils on her etc... She said she was going to take an early lunch and go to the doctor. She calls back a little later and says she won't be back today and they are going to send her tests to the lab.

All I know is she better not call in tomorrow or call later today and say she can't come in tomorrow because I don't give a damn!

If she does, my boss will ask me to work I'm sure. I'll just lie and say I'm going out of town and have a room booked. I have the print out from the last room and I will just change the date. I don't care. My boss has probably forgot I'm off tomorrow anyway, as long as no one reminds her. If she tries to call, I just won't answer. I will be at home playing NCAA tomorrow. My NCAA Day will not be ruined!
