Cashing In on NOT playing hookie

All throughout my schooling (kindergarten to high school), I was pretty good when it came to attendance. I actually looked forward to going to school and never wanted to stay home- even when I was sick. I liked learning new things and was pretty boy crazy from the get-go, so that was the main driver in getting me out of bed. If it weren't for my parents making me stay home when I was sick or because they wanted to go to Vegas early, I probably would have had perfect attendance.

Now that I'm an adult, it seems I've become quite the opposite. I'll use any opportunity to call in sick or ask for a personal day. And, vacation days...well, I can never seem to have enough of those! Name any excuse in the book and I can almost guarantee you that I've used it. I actually keep track of the excuses I've used so I know when/if I can use it again. For some excuses, I even have (fake) paperwork to back it up.

Anyways, there's nothing much to this post really. I just thought it was ironic that I was so good in  attendance and, now, I'm pretty much over it. And, yes, you guessed it...I'm ditching work tomorrow, but I swear I have a good reason :)
