Default Decide My Fate

Well i missed my damn fairings today. came in the mail and i wasnt here to sign for them. Damn the luck.

Anyways, im pumped. I have to work on monday though, so that means i wont be able to pick em up, and i wont be able to get a hold on them until tuesday, so heres the scenario: Should i call off work and spend the day with my bike, or should i just tough it out and forget about taking a holiday about it.

How much time do you have? If it's a situation where you have to use it or lose it and you typically don't take much. Might as well spend a day with your bike, if you are at the ragged edge of not having time then be patient grasshopper

I've got tons of Paid time off, but as far as sick days go i really cant do too many, i think i took one a few months ago for the hell of it, so im not sure if im due yet.

Dude.


quit being a tight ass little bitch.

Make your little sandy va-jay-jay better by only going in half day so you only have to burn 4 hours or WTF ever.

For me, work comes first, so I'd go to work. I would, however, try to break away at some point in the day (lunch break, maybe?) to pick the stuff up and then install everything that evening when I got home.
