I just officially put in my vacation request for that week. I have a crazy schedule for that month, but as it turns out that is the one week I could possibly do it. Who else is with me?
I don't know how or why but that is the only week that month with none of my normally scheduled meeting. I think I feel an illness coming on in about 2 months.
2 months is too away to put in where I work, but I'll definitely be taking a few days off. It feels even better knowing you're at home playing D3 and being paid while you're doing it!
I probably will not take time off... I have a big boy job... and they probably won't be happy about me taking work off for a video game...
Bah humblebrag be careful the first step off that high horse is a doosie.
Edit - Ill be putting in my request 2moro I have to take my vacation 2 weeks at a time so either second half of may or middle of both should should work well.
Sadly I'm not authorized to take a week off of my exams...I can, but then I'll just fail...now that I think of it, atm I'd rather fail and enjoy the creamy delight that is Diablo 3 for that time!
I get three weeks of paid vacation a year, plus six sick days I can take. I left one week of vaction free for D3 release so I'll be booking it next week (off on vacation this week lol).
I normally could take holidays for 2011/2012 up till April and after that any day of holiday not taken would be lost but I was doing my best for a whole year and didn't have sick days and took almost no holidays and I have become quite important for my project over that year so now my bosses don't want me to take holidays till project is finished which will happen at the end of April max. On top of it HR department allowed my manager this time to postpone my holidays till May. So accidently I've become very lucky panda and have booked 14 days of holidays starting on Friday 18th and finishing on 10th Jun. 4 of these days taken from new year allotment. So I will play in your stead as you obviously can't much And after then, I'll get sick
im taking the week off. possibly 2. eating nothing but pizza and soda that entire week. probably gonna start exercising now to prepare my body for the massive fat/sugar intake.

I also have a "big boy job" (CA in public practice auditing) and I agree they wouldn't be too happy, which is why I'm not telling them the reason for the vacation as I don't need to, its my discretion what I take my vacation for. Plus with 100+ hours of OT I've worked since January it will go towards that. I totally get not wanting to tell your boss though, but I would just leave it out.
Also don't take your job too seriously, work so you can live, dont live so you can work.
YOU WORKED FOR BLIZZARD?!
ZING!
I took off the 15th and 16th already. My summer load (I work at a university) is pretty minor anyway so there will probably be some in-office playing.
