GrizGirl 0 Posted June 7, 2006 Hooky from Work Hooky from Work (if you're a stay at home mom and/or you work from home) Today I am splitting out of work to go play golf with a couple of co-workers. I told my hubby I was going to be a little late coming home from work because I have a late afternoon "meeting". I think he knew I was lying when I through my golf clubs in the back of the car last night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FunnyDuddies 6 Posted June 7, 2006 oh i lead a sad existence. LOL When I play hooky from work (contract graphic design from my home office) I get to do laundry, clean the house, feed the kids, the dog, the cat, and take care of the lawn. LOL my hooky is never that exciting. but that is prolly why I play so hard on the weekends. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FunnyDuddies 6 Posted June 7, 2006 I think it allows us to clear our minds of that nasty little list of must do's. And work is the perfect time to do it cause you don't want to do it when the whole family is home. It takes away from your time with them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

disneynut 0 Posted June 7, 2006 I work in a small office and unfortunately for me, I have too much responsibility to be able to play hookey. It always seems like there is something important going on. I dream about it a lot though. When I was working retail many years ago, I called in so I could go strawberry picking with my mom. Of course it was 100 degrees in the shade of which there was no shade and I was out at high noon picking strawberries. I got so hot baking in the sun with heat exhaustion and got so ill for the rest of the day. That was my punishment for playing hookey my one and only time I ever tried it.

Jachut 487 Posted June 7, 2006 I play hookey from uni, because the time when I have no children is way to precious to waste on what I should be doing, lol. I'm only part time at the moment and doing one unit off campus, and the other unit is one of those filler unit, give an academic a job type things that is ridicously easy. Next semester is going to be the same. So I just work at my own pace at home and barely ever actually physically attend. I take myself off to the movies - only chance I ever get to see a chick flick, go shopping, schedule haircuts and nail appointments and sometimes I muck around on the computer for hours on end. But I do study too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Marimaru 7 Posted June 7, 2006 Hookie huh? My hookie is usually when my mom (who is my boss) says "You should stay home tomorrow". Usually I sleep in and play on the computer, may or may not get any house work done. Working for my mom, it's easy for me to pop out and run errands and things like that. More often than not, it's HER messaging me (yahoo), saying "I need to run errands want to go?" which translates into "Come pick me up so we can run errands". I love my mom.

gentlespirit 1 Posted June 8, 2006 I go have lunch with a dear friend and/or stop at every antique shop I see along the way. I've even been known to go miles out of my way for antique shops!! Emily Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
A1ikou 0 Posted June 9, 2006 The only time I played hooky was when my then boyfriend (now hubby) flew over to the UK to meet my family and I took a Monday to make a magical long weekend for us...told everyone at school I was sick but then had to keep biting my tongue, trying to remember not to mention that he'd ever been there or they all would have guessed...

Poodles 0 Posted June 11, 2006 Being sick of work or school should count as a sick day. I get sick and tired of work all the time... unfortunately, Substitute Poodles are hard to find. And I have found if I am out one day the teenagers make me pay for it for three... so it is easier to wait for a holiday to do fun things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
