The last three times I've blown off work have gone like this:
1st time - went to Wolf and bought 10-22 and 105mm macro
2nd time - went and bought 70-200 F4L
Today - went in to buy 85mm 1.2 but walked out with a 30D w/extra battery lol
Being 'sick' is getting expensive! Love the upgrade though. Feels better in my hands than the Rebel XT and has a couple nice features I've been wanting to have. Ahhhh. Addiction satiated for a few weeks more. |

At least you'll have something worth selling to pay bills when you're fired for missing too much work. :P

Well, I have a plan. She is/was always saying I hog the camera. So now she has the Rebel all to herself. Nice guy that I am, I'll even throw in the kit lense I never use and the smaller bag I bought before the addiction got really bad. Plus the extra batter and wireless remote only work with that body, so it's quite the package.
So there's that. Plus I used part of a bonus to buy this new one, so that should mitigate some of the heat.
If all that fails and I seem to stop posting, you'll know what happened... |

Always a good idea to have an extra batter when it comes to photography :-)

| Well, I do call in sick, end up getting in late, leave early because I am feeling "queasy" and it is usually because I need to go on a photo shoot, like right then. Maybe I'll get over it one day, but I hope not. I like being a gypsy. |

I've got to stop going to work - I buy all of my camera gear on the web while I'm at work. At least if I have a sick day I'll probably go out in the afternoon ant take some photos. Now I'm going to browse B&H...

Maybe your employer would share this view if he knew just "how sick" you really are.

| So much comp time for nights and weekends it doesn't bother them at all. Plus having a job where you can run everything from anywhere so long as you have a net connection makes physical location pretty irrelevant. |

Hummmmmm.... Wonder if that counts as a long-term disability? :-) Wonder if I could get a few months on full pay to try and get over the sickness? :-)) |
