so I know what the answer is but what would all of you do in this scenario.

You recieve a call telling you that you won a copy of theo's book and get to get it signed tomorrow and front row seats for the presentation tomorrow, but you have to work.

Would you:

A) call in "sick" to work, you have 10 sick days per year (from july-july) and have used on 1.
B) go to work and try to leave at 1, presentation starts at 2 but dont know how long it goes for, and offer to come back after presentation, but there is a chance they may not allow it.

a friend of mine once called in to work because he didnt feel like going and used the excuse that he was handcuffed to a bed and lost the key. It was classic.

Have you guys sold out a game yet this year?

edit:

18970
17732
17014
19360
18075

So with an official sellout being 19,153, with the ability to pack in 20,500 if all standing room only tickets at the top are sold, it looks like you guys have "officially" sold out one game so far.

It actually wasn't all that hard, but EVERYTHING else that was assigned to me too priority and bumped that down. Sure is nice to be able to see that gone from my list of tasks.
I love that feeling.
