:violin: :bowdown: :rock:

You still get paid right?
In that case: Being sick/newly operated (sure that svcks) until february with paid sickdays. You lucky bastard...
Well I shouldn't complain, I work 4 days a week for 4.5 to 6 hours so I shouldn't really whine either.

You cant work for a year becuase of one surgery? That svcks man, hope youve got some money in the bank :foodndrink: Hope your backs alright. my dad has some back problems and it does not look fun :nope:

Year?
February 2011 is like 5 months away.

Oops i had a special moment sorry :blush2:

I HOPE THAT PLAYING FALLOUT WELL AID YOUR RECOVERY HE HE.PLEASE ENJOY.......IV TAKEN A WEEK OFF MY WORK TO PLAY MY COLLECTORS EDITION SO CANT WAIT FOR THAT.IM JUST LOOKING FORWARD TO EXPLORING THE MOJAVE WASTELAND HOWEVER I SEE FIT LOL

TAKE CARE FELLOW GAMERS.....ENJOY :fallout:

HaHa, im taking the first 3 days of college when I get it; with a severe case of ''diarrhoea'''

Been there myself as I had two back operations a couple of years ago and was home for about two years.
Hope you recover fast and that all goes well.

If you don't have too much pain, you should be able to enjoy F:NV to keep you busy for the time you're at home

For me it was the perfect time, beside of the pain and recovery, to complete Oblivion with mods, hence I invested lots of hours into that one.

Wow, that must svck about your back man. Even with a new game, id hate to be stuck inside for that long.

Still, atleast you do have a good game to keep you busy...

my mom is letting me take off of school the day it comes out to play it as much as I can, I even get to go to the midnight release

Weird, I only work 4 days with the same hours pretty much. I booked two weeks off work for NV, well not just for NV its me bday aswell. :celebration:

Aren't you a lucky ducky? I just got knee surgery and can't do much but I still have to go to school . Well, 2 more weeks with this wretched cast then therapy for 11 months. Good luck with your recovery!

What good parents.../sarcasm
Anyway, I'm going to have to wait until the weekends, well Sundays as Saturdays are taken up with practices and then Christmas holidays as, I have a very filled up schedule (including Thanksgiving break)...curse my choices in extra-curricular activities this year, oh well...

I work 4 days and do 5 to 7 hours aa week, freakyyy stuff.

Back surgeries svck. Had mine 3 years ago, was hospitalised for a week (worst week of my life), couldn't walk right for 2 months, was taking painkillers like candy. Though worst part of it was I couldn't really do anything for a month, even sitting took so much of a effort that I couldn't be on my computer for more than 30 minutes. Only good thing was that I got 4 month sick leave and had the craziest summer of my life running around festivals. Hopefully you don't have so bad time recovering and can enjoy playing NV as some of us don't clearly have enough time for that.

Cant work from now until febuary i own a business with my dad and own a gaming expo store so i have ways to make money plus i have saved alot over 13 years i will be okay thank u for the concern i am normally a plumber with my dad as this job is extremly physical i will mess my back up thanks to all for the replies

Here's to great working hours. :foodndrink:

Whoa. I wouldn't want to take off school even if I were allowed. I hate having a bunch of work to catch up on.


But I hope you are on paid leave. Because if you are and your back isn't causing a bunch of pain, you will probably have a great time.

Amen to that! :celebrate:

Why didnt you go to moria brown?

she'd give you the radiation ability that lets you heal broken limbs

What?! Wow, I would never allow my child to stay home from school to play a new game. That's just too much!

Bummer on the back problems. I threw my back out once and missed work for 3 days (covered by worker's comp since it was work-related). Totally not worth the pain, so you have my sympathies. I'm lucky for NV since mid-semester break is the weekend after release (huzzah!).

My mom would have let me, I was a good kid.

Yeah if you want your nutsack stiched to your ear.

I'm so very sorry about your back surgery and happy you will have this game to see you through and assist in avoiding boredom. Other than being excited about the game however this thread has little to do with Fallout:NV. The surgery well wishes belong in CD and there are a ton of threads about being excited so I'm closing this one.

I wish you a speedy and full recovery.
