Scorcher214 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 You're not allowed to fish for bass anymore? Quote
joebills78 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Posted April 20, 2012 Just can't get the time. Family in town,kids work. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 20, 2012 Global Moderator Posted April 20, 2012 jiggingitis is usually a good one, just tell them it's really catchy. Quote
WookieeJedi Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 We used to call it Delacroix Influenza. Lots of sick notes signed by Dr. Bullred. Quote
Super User jbsoonerfan Posted April 21, 2012 Super User Posted April 21, 2012 No excuses needed. Hopefully, your family and job is more important. I have missed many good days of hunting and fishing due to work, but I realize that my job and my family are far more important than my need to hunt/fish. 1 Quote
Super User ww2farmer Posted April 21, 2012 Super User Posted April 21, 2012 I know how it feels, been working 70 hours a week for five weeks now, without a break , nor is one in sight. The times I have been able to fish have sucked, and every one else I know has been crushing them. I am sick of it. Sick of fishing in general. I feel a sell off of the stuff coming up soon, and I'll go back to my old hobby, where being at the right place/right time is not critical to success, and where every one involved has real jobs, don't pump you for all your best ways to catch fish, and then rub your face in it on a regular basis.

Super User slonezp Posted April 21, 2012 Super User Posted April 21, 2012 Get canned and collect unemployment for 99 weeks. You should be able to develop a pattern by then. 1 Quote
Nodda4me Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 jiggingitis is usually a good one, just tell them it's really catchy. hahahaTell your boss that your little kid has a real bad cold and you have to stay home in case he has to go to the hospital or something. Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted April 21, 2012 Global Moderator Posted April 21, 2012 hahaha Tell your boss that your little kid has a real bad cold and you have to stay home in case he has to go to the hospital or something. No kids here, they might not believe me if I tried to use that one. Quote
Super User Bassn Blvd Posted April 21, 2012 Super User Posted April 21, 2012 I just the my boss that "My hurts, I can't see coming in today." Quote
Super User eyedabassman Posted April 21, 2012 Super User Posted April 21, 2012 Or you could tell them you have the Micropterus Salmoides flu! Quote
basscatcher8 Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Anal Glaucoma......you cant see your ass coming in today LOL Quote
hatrix Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Right now i got a serious case of Bass Thumb. Sometimes it seems like there teeth get down to the bone. I think maybe you could get a note and some pain killers for that from you doctor Quote
johnnytoxin Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Tell them you have rectal bleeding. They won't ask questions. Quote
Hyrule Bass Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 lol at the excuses. just put in for a couple vacation days and use them to fish... Quote
Jacob34 Posted April 22, 2012 Posted April 22, 2012 I know how you feel, I haven't had a real day off for over two months now and I still need to get my shoulder worked on, it's planned this next weekend, but the bass are barely moving up and gearing for spawn around here. I might try to get in one more trip before I get cut all up Quote
newriverfisherman1953 Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Be glad you have a job. Lots of folks would like one. You still have time to fish. Quote
Bass Dude Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Tell them you have anal glaucoma...and you can't see your **** going to work!! Quote
fxdwgkd Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Tell him/her you are not coming in today. You do not need an excuse. It is a hipa violation for them to ask about your health. Or you can just tell them you are going fishing. That is what I do, no need to lie about it. Quote
redboat Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 My fishing buddy I.M. Haungup is in the military, and does National Guard the first weekend every month; can't interfere with that. Otherwise his problem is his girlfriend, her family, and occasionally his family. Between antiquing, entertaining relatives, etc. he can't seem to get out much. I advised him to tell 'em (1) He had to participate in a bombing raid on Canada because they are a buncha dweebs anyway; or, (2) Just pretend he has the flu then once the GF pulls out to go antiquing he can break and run for it. Coming back, he had a high fever and hadda go to the ER. You REALLY need to learn to lie creatively, bud! Quote
Clash City Rocker Posted April 23, 2012 Posted April 23, 2012 Here is a pearl of wisdom from me to you: An hour spent bank fishing before and after work is better than no fishing at all. Quote
j.bruno Posted April 25, 2012 Posted April 25, 2012 I just tell my boss i want to go fishing lol for real though . I can only do it a couple days unpaid a year. Quote
