Anyone calling out from work today?

[Another Fan]

I would but have too much to get done at the office.  
 

Plus being optimistic it will occupy my mind off last nights game.  

[Beast]

I thought about it but here I am….working. Probably a good thing.

[Just Jack]

Nope.  Even decided to go into the office instead of working from home.

Had the day off anyways.

 

Also took a day after the Super Bowl. Letting my boss know I’d rather work.  Not watching that game so no need to have off.

I had to withdraw my application for the Grand Marshall position in the parade.

I have taken the Monday off after the Super Bowl every year since 1990...it's my own personal holiday.  I am sure I will watch the Super Bowl this year...but I absolutely loath both teams involved.  At work today, wish I had taken it off... really depressed about the game....sure it will pass.  But, there are few things worse than people offering hollow consolation over something they don't know, or care about...especially when they mostly Cowboys fans!

I figured it was better to be a miserable ####### to my coworkers than to my family.

My coworkers have been avoiding me all day.

Oh my coworkers for sure.

 

My wife is blissfully ignorant about football, but she does have some broad strokes down. I was watching Eagles-Commanders and halftime came, she asked if the Bills had already played. I told her they played at 6:30. She asked who they were playing. I informed her. She says, "and this is for who goes to the Super Bowl?"

 

Five minutes later I found myself getting pushed out the door. "You should watch it at the bar. Have fun!" 😂

Sounds like the results of some pretty solid long term strategic planning on your part.

And I wasn't being a smart ass about strategic planning.

I just posted this in another thread:

 

The only sketchy thing for me this season was that for the first time in 30+ years my wife decided she liked football and insisted on watching every game with me (with the 100 requisite weekly questions). Even to the point that she made me bail early on a beautiful snow hike to get home in time to see the backups play NE in the season finale. My wife is smart, fun, hot and I like her very much. But I'm still not entirely sure what I think of this unexpected development.

Ha! I have enough hobbies that my wife has no interest in. She can glom onto football whenever she wants, just not her bag. We went to one game together as newlyweds (vs. Denver, 2019). In her words, "that was fun, but I don't think I need to go to another one." 

 

When I got to work this morning I had a chance to talk with one of my subordinates who is also a Bills fan. Apparently his fiancee has him in the doghouse for his "appalling" behavior on Sunday, after she insisted on watching the game with him at home 😂 I told him we could set up some coaching for her on marrying a Bills fan.

My ex wife blew her top at me after the Redskins SB loss,  "your be ridiculous, its just a stupid game"
