I am pretty lucky to have retired at 42 and now work two days and one night a week. I take at least one day off a week just for me. Usually nothing planned and drink a couple of beers in the garage. I usually end up tinkering with a project but have no expectations to get anything done that day.
March was amental health month for me.

You lucky devil!!!!

This is where I take sabbaticals when I can.
This is also one of my favorite places. I take my birthday of as a vacation day every year and about 3 years in a row I'd go to Martin's salvage and salvage old BMW parts for my tii and certain art deco looking dome lights for my bus.

I bet most everybody agrees with investing the occasional vacation day into a little R&R of your choice. Probably some were like me, thrown off by the title with the word 'hooky'- which is usually defined by lying about being sick to get out of one's responsibility. If one has vacation days, they do with them what they wish; if they call in sick when they really are not just to screw off, that's stealing.
As a boss, I get plenty tired of employees that prove to be liars or thieves. I caught a guy who was on a sick day playing basketball- on an outdoor court right along my usual route. He got to experience being fired directly in front of his teammates. As for thieves, somehow it's getting more and more common that people think it's OK to surf the 'net while on the clock at work. They get one warning with a recap of the concept that they have sold their time to the company while on the clock; if you don't have work on hand, I'll help with that. But Christmas shopping on the company's computer- or checking out Facebook- or forums- is stealing time you agreed to sell to the company. This results in all your time free to cruise all the forums, and add in the **** you were trying to hide.
To the OP- I have no need for mental health days, but I do enjoy the occasional legal vacation day off. If that's what you meant, good for you. If you meant lying about sickness and therefore stealing- hope you get busted

I left work a hour early today because it was super slow. Working flat rate if theres no work, I don't get paid. I went for a bike ride, and it was by far the best part of my day.

I get paid for 40 hours a week. I actually work 42.5 hours a week. When work is very slow it is OK for me to take an unscheduled day off. That's what I did. I have no reason to lie about being sick, I don't need the bad karma. Even though I do generally enjoy my job, I do enjoy the occasional mental health day. I don't think I'd care to work for you though. You sound a little tight.

I get all of my work done - and then some, and often help show others how to do their work more efficiently. If spending 10 minutes reading GJ

You guys are all talking about something different than I am.
Again, I have no problem with anyone taking the occasional day off for nothing other than R&R. Most every job provides for that, with either 'vacation' days, 'personal' days, or both. Sometimes living beings get sick too; that's why we have 'sick' days.
As I said, I'm talking about lying and stealing. The 'sick day' process has always had an element of the Honor System to it. Obviously if one breaks a leg or has a heart attack that's obvious; but if it's something minor it's left to the integrity of the employee. Most will not abuse this and would no more 'play hooky' than they would shoplift. Some people have massive amounts of sick leave accumulated; some always keep their sick leave run completely out, then when they really ARE sick throw a fit because they have to use vacation or take unpaid leave.
Mine is a small business, and like any other had to fight hard to stay alive in tough times. There is a certain percentage of the population that feels they are owed everything- these are the ones that constantly have to be pulled and dragged to do their job because their energies are directed at trying to figure out how to do the least they can and still get paid. These are the losers you see pitching tents on Wall Street and wanting successful people punished and taxed even more. And, they're the ones that call in to go play basketball. And get fired and piss and moan about how they were treated unfairly. As you can imagine, catching BB boy was just the last in a string of his poor employee moves.
I have owned my business in its current form for just over 20 years. I managed to survive the Barackolypse starting in the first quarter of '09, but just barely. I almost lost everything. We made it, but it was with razor-thin margins. And I did all this while working full time for the USPS, in my 23rd year. So by necessity I have no room to carry dead wood- or low-quality team members. So if you think that makes me Scrooge, well, that's your privilege. But I still believe in principle- and by necessity have to require it from my team.
I am in the process of closing my business. I'm am transitioning out of that and am going to settle into finishing out my time at the PO. I found this forum as part of the planning for my 'retirement' shop. At 50 I'm tired of dealing with employees that have to be begged to do their work, governments that think you're rich and you need to be punished with more and more and more taxes and fees, and 'leaders' that foster the sickness that if you do succeed, the fruits of your labor need to be taken away and given to life's losers for doing nothing. And all this in an environment that is pushing the notion of 'business and success is evil'. It's a sickness.
I do classic car evaluations as a sideline now, and when my new shop gets done I look forward to getting back to restoring. And by design, I'll be keeping it small. Less personnel to deal with- and less of being a 'bad guy' by expecting others to do what they agreed to

It was good to meet you. Many like you now know why we live in good 'ole Pagosa.
It is difficult to know the particulars about the Bobadame's job and life so insinuating he was lying or had a bad work ethic is not cool. We are all adults and we all take responsibility for our own actions so lets not try to judge others on some personal moral compass.
Personally, I wish I had more days like Bobadame. Before my 90 year old grandma went onto the lung machine (which she is being removed tomorrow and will die soon afterward), she talked about how fast time went by. If we don't take time for ourselves, we will never have any time.

I just did that and am so glad I did...spent Friday by this seaside town with my wife and twin daughters (8 mos. old). It pisses me off that 10 hours a day I am at work (commute included). Work is so damn overrated unless you are doing your hobby for a job. Most people cant say that.
I edited sections of two of your posts. In no way was I trying to minipulate what you're saying just edited all the extra.
Let me get this straight. Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
You work for the PO, USPS.
You havea personal business on the side.
You had an employee call in sick.
That "sick" employee was playing basketball outside and you caught him.
That BB court was on one of your regular routes.
You fired him while running your regular route in front of his friends.
You're complaining about employees stealing/lying from you. Doing "their thing" while they're on your clock.
Yet, you stopped, talked to your employee while on your regular route (USPS) and fired him in front of his friends. Did you not conduct personal business on company time, the Federal Govt's time, and every other US citizen's dime ?
If this is correct maybe you should quit your job and inform the Postmaster that you have been stealing from the USPS.

I was fortunate enough in my last job to have absurd amounts of flexibility. I had two basic requirements. 1.) Get the work done to keep people happy. 2.) Do my 40 hours. Past that they preferred not to see me as I was in charge of the network infrastructure of the building. When you saw me it meant something was broke or someone screwed up. So if I woke up and didn’t feel like going to work, I rolled back over and didn’t. I could work any combination of hours I wanted, so long as rule 2 was adhered to. Most emergencies I could resolute remotely from home or by phone telling one of my techs what to do, for which I didn’t count as work hours unless it took a lot of time (couple hours or more). At least a couple times a week I came in at midnight-2AM to do back ups, run cable, network scans, and other tasks that are best done when everyone is gone. I spent lots of time searching the net and reading tech articles, as this related to my job, the more I knew the better I could serve my position. I also spent lots of time online wasting time, because I could be doing 10 different things and yet still find myself sitting there staring at the screens simply waiting. I can only wipe down my desk so many time and can only review so many logs before it’s simply a game of sit and wait. Every work place is different and applying your standards to others is a bit close minded. At my peak work load I could be doing the job of 4-5 people that were under me, yet still be able to cruise forums like this one appearing to be doing nothing at all. You start barking about doing what your being paid to do then the ones that already are start getting tired of it and start only giving you what your paying them for, especially in higher positions where you would have a job description to fall back on. If I wanted to be a jerk I could have pulled the “not my job/lane” card many times a week, but they were good to me so I was good to them. I miss that job everyday and sometimes wonder if the pay increase was worth leaving for. I certainly never felt the need for mental vacations then like I do now.

I think its OK to take a sick day to address mental health concerns....maybe the basketball playing sick person had to decompress from some issue...just because he doesnt have a cold or broken leg doesnt mean that he's not 'sick'.

LOL! Glad to correct you- since you said 'please'.
As a mail carrier, I am on salary. I get paid the same amount every two weeks regardless of how long it takes. During the Winter I work many more hours than average without overtime. During the Summer the mail is lighter so I get done earlier. Just FYI, I get up at 5AM. Handle some paperwork and scheduling before heading to the PO, starting time 7:15, there and working by 7. My mail for the day is given in a pile; I sort it, bundle it, load it, and deliver it. I take no lunch break, don't smoke, don't go on the 'net. Once my mail is delivered, I'm done there for the day. During December that might be 6PM; during Summer it might be 2-3. I head the 4 miles home, change, grab a sandwich and head right back out the door, off to my business. 3 nights a week I'm on the road buying, about 200 miles a night; get home between 10 and 11; answer e-mails, troubleshoot business issues, and go to bed; repeat.
When the loser ball player got fired I was done at the PO (a.k.a. off the clock) and on the way to clean up what he was supposed to be doing that day but couldn't because he was "sick". I had to work a bit later solving that ensuing ongoing vacancy. And did.
So, nice job making up a guess at how it went to fit what you wanted it to be.
The real question is, why did this get you so excited that you went to all the trouble of concocting this scenario? Are you saying that lying and stealing should be defended- and that I am out of line for expecting employees not to do so? You don't even know me; why would you even care what a stranger writes on an internet forum? As the old saying goes, 'Methinks thou protesteth too much'
I make no apologies for expecting excellence from my employees. Excellence does not mean perfection, it means making an honest effort to do the best that you can. If I let some dimwit get away with lying and stealing, it crushes the morale of all the other good employees. Am I perfect? Not even. Am I excellent? Well, sometimes; as a human I sometimes miss it, and I promise, nobody is harder on me than I am. But when I miss, I thank God for His mercy, get up, and try to do better.
So there you go. Glad I could clear it up for you. Sorry it made you look silly.
Oh, and since you wanted correction: It's spelled 'manipulate'.
And one more thing, for the record: The USPS is not funded by the government- doesn't take one DIME of tax money. I knew you'd want the facts.

Yep, I spelled manipulate wrong.
For the record, I never said tax dollars either. I said company time, if you were on the clock. I said Federal Govt's time, you are a fed gov employee, if you were working it was their time. Lastly I said the citizen's dime, not tax dollars, that we those of us that send packages USPS and buy stamps.
If you want to get technically on the tax dollars, the USPS does take tax dollars.

OK, if YOU want to 'get technical', you're trying to dodge what I said: you said "the Federal Govt's time, and every other US citizen's dime ?" which infers that the USPS operates on a budget funded by taxpayer money, which of course is untrue. What you posted shows a Government agency being a customer of the USPS, not funding it. Not even close to the same thing. You said something that wasn't factual and painted yourself into a corner, and now have made it worse by making a nonsensical comparison.
This still doesn't answer why you cared enough about what I said to try calling me out in the first place. You say you're not defending liars and thieves, so why did you challenge me in the first place; and why would you care about 'getting the story straight'? Makes no sense. You could have just scrolled on to the next post but chose to challenge me, and now you've dug a hole- with a stranger- for no reason

I agree.
I spent a few decades going at this pace. Plenty of 20 hour days/100 hour weeks. I came from a poor family and never asked for anything other than the Constitution-given right to pursue my dreams, and have always been willing to work as hard as I need to achieve them. I've never looked for handouts, or felt entitled to anybody else's stuff, or pitched a tent to whine about being jealous of the successful- instead I've tried to be one of the successful. Now, at 50, it's getting harder to go at that pace, so I am downsizing, selling holdings, and preparing for the next 30 or 40 years doing what I want- building my dream shop and working in it as long as I can, and enjoying life with my beautiful better half. I thought I'd keep my business for another 5-10 years, but with the current punish-the-producers-for-their-success attitude promoted by government combined with the entitlement mentality, it's time to pull the plug and prepare for prolonged malaise. I have no doubt this country will heal and rise again, but we're in for a decade of cleaning up this mess. And when it does, I'll look to be part of it!Or at the very least, not be working like a maniac knowing if I succeed I'll be punished.
I did it again, on a Monday. My wife and I climbed a fourteener this morning. Granted, Grey's peak is one of the more moderate fourteeners in Colorado but there is not very much air up there. So this one's off the bucket list and I don't care to do it again. Incredible views up there.

He lent a hand loading and said how many personal days do you have left? I said i havent used any he said take Mon and Tues off, no one deserves to work Sunday if you happen to run out of personal days i wont hold it against you. I was shocked but he insisted.

My last job was at a small garage in an even smaller town, When we were busy we would work till the job was done, weather that was 3, 6 or even 9 a clock at night. During the winter we would slow down and since it was only 3 of us, we would rearrange our appointments and take either a day off during the week, or a long weekend and go snowmobiling(weather pending of course).
Now that I'm the parts manager of a dealership, I work a steady 45 hours a week split between either 5 or 6 days. Luckily I can more or less set my own schedule as long as we have coverage in the parts department.
I got a question, how many of you guys take your "mental health day" or even a weekend day and do absolutely nothing, I mean like nap and stare blankly at the t.v.? I'm normally always doing something, with a new house, the honey do list continues to grow. However once in a while I get in a funk and just want to nap.

I'm normally always doing something, with a new house, the honey do list continues to grow. However once in a while I get in a funk and just want to nap.
