Only once was I sick enough with the flu that I had to go to the doctor to take another 3 days off.<br /><br />SD - Seriously, I think that's what people thought of me, too. lol<br /><br />Jewels - You're not the first person to call me a saint! lol It's always nice to have a job where you can get the down time to destress and do your own thing.<br /><br />Frisky - haha, yes, I'm quite the good girl. And yes, you should play hooky for fun, once or twice. Go to a concert or a football game. ;o)J.Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09211819677106829508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2029299587784890117.post-20491384013338909792011-04-19T14:51:45.032-07:002011-04-19T14:51:45.032-07:00You play hooky in moderation--the definition of a ...You play hooky in moderation--the definition of a good girl. ;) I don't remember playing hooky just for fun--it was usually because of severely icy roads or something like that.

I have enough down time there and take days now and then when I have all my appointments scheduled for. They are good with allowing me days here and there for different things.
