Default Re: Reasons Geeks Call in Sick

Been guilty of the following.
Quote:
11. Hard drive is making funny noises and you need make a back up ASAP.
10. You're actually sick because you spent all weekend outside in line for tickets to the latest X-Men movie.
5. Mistakenly thought caffeine overdose was heart attack.
4. Cut self badly assembling PC and had to go to the emergency room.
1. World of Warcraft
Okay.... number 10 for me was the DAREDEVIL movie. However i did wake up feeling rather poorly that morning. It just happened to be same days that Daredevil came out. I currently have the boss bugging me jokingly about whether or not I am going to be at work when Spider-Man 3 comes out. I told him that I will catch a session after work as I don't like doing Midnight Screenings any more.
I did number 5 with a strong coffee, garrana tablet and a No-Doze Plus. I do not recommend this to any one as I could feel my heart beating for the next 3 days.
Number 4 was with a LanLi Case which took a nice chunck of flesh out of my fingure while i was installing a PSU. The funny thing was that it was the boss's LanLi case.
Number 1 was when I was addicted to Star Wars Galaxies and one of the reasons why i will never get involved in Guild Politics ever again.


Where does MIDNIGHT RELEASE of Halo 2 / World Of Warcraft Burning Crusade / XBox360 / Wii / Playstation 3 fit in?
I got one of my friends that have been sick because of all 5 of those.
