Booking time off work for Beta release?

[AmroBank]

I will translate for those who do not have English as a first language.

damp squib is a dud.

A squib is an explosive device, when damp it does not go off. You expect a big bang but get nothing.

Thanks for the explanation
it is squib and not squid what I first thought was


Damp Squib or Damp Squid :

Squid are indeed usually damp in their natural environment.


But the popular British expression describing a less than spectacular explosion is a “damp squib” (soggy firecracker).

I am sorry to say that your boss is right. Reality check, global youth unemployment is set to continue growing over the next five years.

I have taken some days here and there for releases in the past. I just tell 'em I need a few days off and do not over elaborate.

 

[Nagual]

I'd love to take time off, but my boss won't let me. Feel free to PM him and tell him to let me take time off

 

[The Space Pirate]

Man, I totally get you there. Have a 3.5 year old daughter and she's a handfull.

Eh, I may take a day off for any big releases for ED. Who can plan for them, though? It's not like we have a lot of fore warning!

Kids eh? I remember my nephew at that age. It's like what Clarkson said in Top Gear a while back: It's like owning a two year old child. They can be annoying a lot of the time, but if someone tried to take them away, you'd kill them.

Sums it up really!

I work in the public sector so by the time the final game is released I will be unemployed and have all the time in the world. Thanks to Mr Cameron, Mr Gideon and Mr Pickles.

 

[Firestarter]

Take a holiday for a game? - nah.

Send everyone else in the house away for a game - yep

Well, "There is No Alternative". That´s the neoliberal assault on public education, public universities, public health, on ordinary working class people (etc. ad nauseam...), in Europe.

[Spiggs]

Like Jeffrey Bernard, I imagine I shall be.... Unwell!

 

[Dirtmuncher]

To each his own, but I am not going to take a day off. Family and vacation comes first and gobbles up all of the time.

I am a bit jealous of the people who can take a day off for release.

 

[Dead Fred]

Life is a game.

 

[jabokai]

Life is a game.

Post your scores... mine is 2.

Post your scores... mine is 2.

You have a positive score? <jealous>

I'm in beta too. I'm 65 in April, retirement age. I doubt the beta will be out before then. I'll continue to work but only part time so when the beta does come out I'll have plenty of time for Elite and won't need to take sickies.

I guess it will be quiet 9am-5pm during the week, not many pirates around. I can earn SHED loads of money trading and smuggling while all you youngsters are all out at work!
