I'm considering taking time off. If I have any sick/personal time saved up, I'll probably put in for a couple of days off, as I would get paid for them regardless, but in the end, I have a family to feed and house, and I need to make sure those needs are met, no matter how awesome Skyrim is.
Wait, what? Your beard will provide! A beard, a true beard, could provide for a city, let alone a single family.
But yeah, with my current job I'll definitely get the day or weekend off. Though I finish uni in October so I may have something more "important" to do.
