None. It's a video game. I'd rather do silly things like make money and spend time with family and friends
.
This..
It is a #$%^ing video game, if you really ask for free just to reach top lvl, fastest what are you then? a #$%^ing geek that cant live without wow, and who are you gonna play against ? Nobody, cuz not all is $%^&ing nerds.
Yes Im going to spend my holiday from 20 december to 4 january playing, but I would never ask for free from my job just in ordrer to play a stupid game..
I have taken tue and wed off to
play the game
(not get to 85 first or fast).
Let's compare the two situations:
not taking the day off: at work, working. Not being with friends. Not being with family.
taking the day off: at home, playing (or cursing the servers, lag, queue etc.). Being with friends online. Not being with family.
In both cases I make money (my salary).
I still need to take about 50 hours off this year or I lose those hours.
I don't have any days off around Christmas and New Year's. So I won't be playing between the 20th and 4th.
Based on the criteria stated in the quoted posts, I disagree with the (implied?) conclusion that taking the day off to play Cata is a bad idea.
It would seem to me that I meet the criteria better if I take the day off. YMMV, ofc.
I will however take work home with me in case I can't play. Reduces the pile of work I need to do (it's not as if the work disappears just because I'm not there).

Awww...the argument got deleted. Boooo.
I'm amending my previous statement. I may 'call in sick' tuesday. Though that might be maintenance day, so wednesday may be a better decision.

My thoughts exactly. Saw this thread pop up and wondered how you responded. Oh well.
Yeah, taking off Tuesday-Friday. 2.5 days Vacation Paid Off, 1.5 day unpaid.
LoL to any hypocrite that starts throwing nerd and geek around; you play the game too buddy.
For me I'm taking that 6 day weekend and having a LAN party fest at my buddy's house. Basement, futon, junk food, DVDs, TV, PS3 upstairs if we need a break. Did the same thing for WotLK release and it was a ton of fun.
If it were just going to be myself I probably would not have taken all that time off, but since I'm going to be hanging out with my buddy for a week it's fine.

I work graveyard with Monday & Tuesday nights off, so I took Wednesday night off too. Three day weekend playing the last of Wrath, the first minutes of Cata (digital download already installed and ready to go) and an extra night.
Edit: I also have vacation time & sick time so I won't actually lose money, in fact, I'll actually be making money. I'll be saving money by not driving to and from work (20 minutes one way), not spending $7 for lunch and waiting an extra day to where my dry cleaned uniforms. That right there paid for the xpac on it's own lol.
