I worked with a couple that would call in sick nearly every Monday after payday Friday. Management didn’t see the pattern. Finally got canned when somebody ratted them out for clocking each other in and out.
It really is amazing the kind of cr@p people try to pull, all the while believing nobody notices. My SO works in payroll for a large regional employer. I hear all kinds of stories. Whether I want to or not.
She has a little jingle she sings to herself on particularly challenging day. Goes something like this.
Pay you F-ing bills, pay your F-ing bills… Oh your life would be much better if you’d pay your effing bills!
As she’s processing the W-2 to minimize deductions on said dead-beat.
I’m blessed that I work somewhere that people actually want to be. I manage 10 people and the rare times someone calls in sick they are really sick.
I honestly thought I injured myself laughing. Evidently not, but it was touch-and-go for a minute. ;D
And yeah, I have worked with some real winners over the years. They always think they’re getting over on the company - until they don’t.
Monday- Friday: get up watch CNBC drink coffee and surf web. Think about brewing and perhaps mow lawn if needed. Hit the rack around 2200. Saturday and Sunday: get up drink coffee perhaps BBQ. Think about brewing. Fantasize about garden. Drink Bourbon. Sleep.
My assistant manager smokes about 3-4 bowls a day in his car, no one cares. Another guy, who was a no call no show for a week, calls HR head a drunk whore, still has his job. I don’t believe these people know what the word work ethic means.
Sounds like an awesome place to work at. 8)
Man, that’s a hell of an itinerary. Glad you kept a spot open to BBQ. I know I do. 
At the company I work for as long you put in your 70 hours a week they’re happy. At least it’s down from 80. Corporate IT will take anything they can get and toss you as soon as you let up a little.
I was service manager for a company once where the boss hired a kid who showed up still drunk each morning for 2 weeks straight. He didn’t last long enough to even get sent to training.

I have worked with some winners over the years. One guy in particular he had lost his drivers liscence and so I would pick him up on he way to the job site. One morning he is standing on the corner in his socks.
“yo man where’s your boots”
“I uh left’um atta party last night we have to drive over there so I can geet’um”
On another job I sent him back to the truck to get something while I worked on something else. After I while he didn’t come back so I went to see what he was doing. He was sleeping in the in the front of the truck laying across the front seat. After that I told the boss it was me or him.
And I have been know to take a nap on the job but I get my work done first, and don’t do it where the client can see you.
That’s just one of the winners I’ve had to work with over the years.
Man, I’m jealous! What you describe is the life I aspire to after 42 years of working my a$$ off. Thanks for giving me hope. 
There is always hope…
It’s good to see there are a few other guys on here that have seven day weekends like I do!
I hope that I am physically able to work up until the day I kick off the planet.
Me too! Not actually working, just physically able too. And not because I die young. I’m hoping for a vigorous old age.
I will say that is all very well and my aspiration too… My decision to retire a bit early was because of what I’ve witnessed in healthcare during the last few years. I’m not going to wait to enjoy myself.
Now the old-old are coming in and it isn’t pretty. And I mean super-geriatric- 90+ is very common but only one in ten is anything close to what you might call vigorous for that age. And that is amazing in itself because most people in their 70’s and early 80’s are not doing well at all. Lots of dementia.
My uncle was actually very vigorous up into his early 80’s until alzheimers got him. I’ll admit he was tougher in his 70’s than I was in my late 20’s.
