The ruff sketch is to spend 5 weeks touring Australia, then shuttle to The South Island of NZ and spend 3 to 4 weeks touring while making our way north. A lot will depend on health of course.
So you gotta just record it and hide from modern media/technology till you get back to watch it.
I'll watch the replay, but we have a floor full of Dawg fans, I'll hear about it at work after break. That's ok, I'll still enjoy watching, as long as we win of course.
How bout the watchespn app?
I think it's blocked in most overseas markets.
I don't understand why that is, it seems ESPN want everybody to have access to ALL their products.
In addition to liking WC’ s experience, they also needed somebody to could finangle into working 12 hour **** on the weekends. All the other guys already on the job probably just fussed about having to do that too much.
Climbing the corporate ladder just never seems to end.
Best of luck on retiring WC! Doesn’t sound like you have too much longer to go.
If you’re still on the job next year, I bet you can fuss your way out of working weekends next year. Just like all those kids at Home Depot did that drove you nuts. Or is fussing so you can watch the Bulldogs on Saturdays somehow conveniently justified and not the same thing?
I must already be pre-gaming for Saturday... I thought @WCDawg said he was taking 12-hour weekend s h i t s !
Either way (whether working or working ON one), @WCDawg, we're sorry for your predicament! We'll pull them through for you. Hang in there, brother! #GoDawgs
I've got just under 4 years to be at full retirement age.
Depending on where I'm at on the job and health wise when I turn 66, it's possible I might take a leave of absence to travel, then return at reduced hours and work till I'm ready to stop completely.
Yes, my job works me two complete weekends in a row, then two weekends off. So this season, I work for weeks 1, & 2, off for 3, & 4, work 5, & 6, off 7, & 8, work 9, & 10, off 11, & 12. So I feel 50% of the pain. Thank goodness for the DVR.
Thank God for flush toilets, air conditioning and broadcast taping.
I work some weekends till 2:30 pm....everyone in my department knows when Georgia has a 12 noon kickoff, I'll be tuned in via my phone or tablet...they have gotten good at letting me have my space to geek out on my dawgs...
Unfortunately I'll be on the floor training personnel most of the night. We're only allowed intra-facility phones while in the warehouse area.
I feel your pain @WCDawg, I’ve worked the weekend shift at a Walmart regional DC for twenty years (most recently in Alachua, FL which is only about twenty minutes north of Gainesville, what a time to be a Dawg!). Only things I don’t care for it about are not really being able to attend church on Sundays, being able to only catch about a half of live afternoon games, and no softball tourneys. Hoping you’ll be able to get off of that weekend shift before the season gets going good!
Yet another educational thread.
We’ve come a long way.
I know what you mean. I lived in Melbourne for a year in 01-02 and constantly got it then too about American football. Couldn't even stream games online then. Did get a free trip to a Collingwood game though (to show me how superior Aussie rules is to American.. didn't sway me one bit). Still watch a little when it's on ESPN late but I'll take our football any day of the week.
Side note.. the beer is better there lol.
