Now that is a great article. Now if I can only convince my employers that 1 week day off fishing will result in a 20-25% improvement in productivity (it probably would, IMHO) we are on to something. Good job kiwis.

I'm going to have way to much fun with this. [img]graemlins/idea.gif[/img]

I changed a few lines and sent this to our Compensation and Benefits Manager asking her for her thoughts. Can't wait to see what comes back.

I just sent the link to my boss too....here's what she wrote back...

"So...if you feel sick, you can go home and fish? And take a sick day for it? You know what? Going to the movies and shopping alleviates my symptoms of illness...as a matter of fact, I feel sick right now!!!"

I have one cool boss! Can't wait to call in sick next time..she'll be checking fishing reports to make sure I'm really sick!!

I knew my tag line was right all along :grin:

Let's see, I think I have about 80 hours of sick time built up and it's springer season. I think I will come down with the mother of all colds in about two weeks :shocked:
