Vacation time from work for HL2?

yeah I don't think its worth losing money over. I mean, it is still going to be the same game if you wait a few hours. you've waited years in anticipation through delays and such, can you really not hold out a few more hours to play the game so you can fulfill your real life obligations?
 
I'll just play it when home from work

and just daydreaming and playing it in my head while working... i love my job
 
well im at school so it doesnt matter if i miss out cause i dont get paid anyway,ill probably just say im sick or something and stay home for awhile and just play HL2 and Halo 2.
 
I moved my day off from the 16th to the 17th, i come home from work at 2pm, which is about the time it will be released in the Uk over Steam, and play it for the rest of the day, allnight and all the next day :).
 
HL2 release is dead in the middle of a huge break in the exam period for me... enough for a good 24 hour gaming session between study blocks. :thumbs:
 
Already booked the whole week off. Can't wait. Got my bucket, phone and extra strength deodorant ready, cos I ain't leaving my seat till I've seen everything it has to offer.

Then I'll move onto Halo 2. And GTA:SA if I still haven't managed 100% by then (the journey begins tonight).
 
thanks boss!!!

My boss said to me can u cancel yr week off cause where so busy this was in August when it was lovely weather...... One week still spare till christmas oooooo what to do?.... u can work out the rest... :rolling:
:cheers:
 
I'm thinking about it...

2pm on the Tuesday you reckon for the UK yeah?
 
I'll be in the army which starts next monday. But hey, I'm Swiss. We don't go to wars and get our weekends off ;) It'll just hurt to get messages from everyone how much the game rocks...
 
I don't see why the Swiss even have an army.
 
My teacher told me I don't have to come to school for a while, I'll sit home and write on my essay. So the answer is no, I don't need to.

My education is more important then a game.

Oh man that sounds funny. Dont know why maybe because i havnt gone to school in 3 months :rolling: Anyway im not going to school when hl2 comes out, thats if i go before that anyway :/
 
I have to get a needle on Nov.16, my parents will let me stay home, so yea
 
Not worth missing work over,i work in a computer games shop (like EB but smaller)

take it to work and play it at lunch on a cruddy laptop , lucky me w00t!

then take it home n play away

Think about HL2 when ur at work guys , the day will go alot lot faster
 
I'm at school, and I won't be missung it beacouse of a video game, but I'll play it once I'll get home. That won't be before 17 though... :(
 
*cough* Blue flu...

My sick time is "use it or lose it" so you can guess what I plan to do with any extra I have...
 
well, I gotta work from 12 - 10:30, so If they release it at 10:30 am to pre-orders, like they have been lately for the past game or two, then I will pick it up at 10:30, come home at 10:30 at nite, and play it. Wake up early Wednesday morning, and play some more before work.
 
I always work 5 days and have 2 days off for the week. It can be different each week so I'll just tell em to put those 2 days off to be on the 16th and 17th. :)
 
Booking the 16th, 17th and 18th off :) Not going to do it untill exatley 2 weeks before release though, to try and ensure that I'm not stuck with time off if they change the date.

BTW, UK law entitles you to holiday. If you book time off work, with the required amount of notice, they have to pay you for it.
