I don't really have any plans or anything, and if I go in for a few hours, I'll get a "comp day" to use later.

On the other hand, I don't really need a "comp day", as I rolled over seven PTO days from last year. I don't really take too many days off anyhow. I've never called in sick either.

If I go in tomorrow, I'll probably end up working about 4 hours, and get an entire day off later to use at my leisure. What do you guys think?

2. 4 hours you can never get back. Don't go.
If you "don't really need a comp day" then stay home, sleep in and take a mental health day. At the end when you're lying in the ER having your final whatever, will you be asking yourself "why didn't I go to work more"?

3. Hey, if you need something to do tomorrow...
:evilgrin: you can come up north and help us clean out the garage so I can sell this house.

Of course, you will not get a comp day for four hours of work that way.

4. How about some free beer?
And a ride to/from the Randolph train station?

I'm good at garage cleaning, my friend.

5. I have a bit of beer....
the ride to and from the Randolph station might be difficult...given the amount of work I must do tomorrow. Thanks anyway. I was teasing. My brother-in-law is coming tomorrow to do the garage.

:hi:
