Anyone else gotta work during our 1st game Sunday?

[steveeoaktree33]

They put us on a rotating schedule months ago, and this is the first time that it's mattered... And although we have to wear all this crap for the "clean" environment, I'll have my little single earplug radio ready to hear the game. What are y'all's plans (those of ya that have to work) to tune in? I know that I can't be the only one....

[DoubleE Colt]

One of the few advantages of living in England is that the early kick off games start at 6pm here so I'm usually home whatever to follow the colts. On the down side the night games and mid week games don't usually get under way until 1.30am and if the colts are playing I only usually end up with a few hours sleep before work Monday!

[bananabucket]

"Have" to work?  Call in sick.

[HOZER]

I'll be at work, 24 hour shifts here. Hoping to watch the game with ZERO interruptions(that never happens, lol)

[teganslaw]

I work two weekends a month, and this weekend is one of them. I get off work at 2:00 .p.m. and normally take my lunch break at 1:00, so I won't miss  much of the game. I can watch the game in the employee lounge duriing my break and can check out the score in between.

 

Calling in sick isn't an option unless I want to miss work several times a month. In that case, I wouldn't have a job.

[ruksak]

Here. Working 12pm to 8pm Sunday. 

 

Sucks to be me. Haven't missed a game in years. 

[Powerslave]

I was working 1st shift on the weekends for the last 4 years.  Now that my kids are older, I moved to 3rd shift with Sun and Mon off strictly for football season.  Got sick of missing early games, college and pro.

[Steamboat_Shaun]

Football season is definitely when I'm the most appreciative of my Mon-Fri 8-5 schedule. It sucks to be working while the game's on, but I've definitely been there.

[GoDeep]

Don't have to work, but I'm in an adult co-ed soccer league. Our tourney is Sunday, we play at 3:30.  Will watch the first part and DVR the rest.

[Malakai432]

You suck but yet you are epic....... You are the last dragon!!!

[Colt^2]

I gratefully don't work this Sunday. I work Monday thru Saturday, so hooray for a day off!

I will miss the MNF game next week though

[nburgmei]

I have to work until 2 or 3. I might be able to catch the 2nd half. Despite not usually working weekends, I have a history of missing the first game of the season for work. 

[Gramz]

I have been fortunate to have a job that  never requires me to  work on Sunday.    

[BrentMc11]

For 22 years I was on the rotating schedule or flying out of town on Sundays.  The schedule worked out great this time.  I can see tomorrow's game, then the 21st we are going on vacation for the week.  We will, however get there in time for Monday Night football.

 

HMMMM, will there be a Mathis siting Tomorrow, or will the LOS 12th man blow the roof off on the 21st?           !!!!!

[shakedownstreet]

i work every sunday, but i do contract work that varies everyday. the faster i work, the earlier i can go home

 

more often than not i get done early enough to catch all or most of the game. i make a point to start early & work very efficiently when colt games are concerned

[Andrew Luck's Beard]

I've got a seating audition and a rehearsal afterwards for the NJ HS All-State Orchestra from 10-6, so I'm pretty upset.

[James]

Wake up, work out, study, watch Colts, study, bed.

Pretty chill.

[Nadine]

My husband is working but my daughter will be watching the game with me.  I think we're going to cook. So excited it's not a night game!

[BlueShoe]

It's funny. For years I have thought that most people on these boards cannot be watching the same game I am. Now I know they really aren't. 

 

Just kidding. Well sort of. ;)

[Colt^2]

Wake up, work out, study, watch Colts, study, bed.

Pretty chill.

Same here.

[IndyD4U]

Same here. I work maybe three Sundays a year. I'll be watching via the NFL mobile app on Verizon...At least the first half anyway

[F.T. Walton]

Curious as to the type of jobs that have so many people working on Sunday. 

[crazycolt1]

I don't work (disabled) so I will watch it for you! lol Good luck with being able to catch up on the game when you can.

[twfish]

Messed up and planned Sunday to go riding at haspin, gunna have too record it..

[IndyD4U]

I'm currently working on a government contract for Crane Naval Surface Warfare Center in cybersecurity. They don't have off days...lol

[crazycolt1]

Curious as to the type of jobs that have so many people working on Sunday. 

There are plenty of people who work on Sunday. When I did work I worked around 65-70 hours per week and 6 days a week for over 17 years. I either worked Saturday or Sunday every week. Most manufacturing jobs function 24-7.

[Gramz]

There are plenty........  

 

In addition to the ones already mentioned above:

 

Law Enforcement

Fire Fighters and First Responders

Retail,

Medical Profession ~Dr.'s, Nurses

TV and Radio Broadcasting

Entertainment Venues

 

and these are just a few that come to mind.

[Everyone]

I'll miss the 1st half, my son has his 1st football game tomorrow as well. Excited for both games actually.

[12isthenew18]

I got work at 4 so I have to leave half way in the 4th. Sad

[HOZER]

Been a long time since I've been to Haspin!!! Have fun, and watch out for the crazies!!!

[bababooey]

Very fortunate to work m-f 9-5 so I have my weekends. Spent last night and today w my parents and grandparents before heading back to my apt for game day baby!!!!

[Andrew Luck fan club]

Work till three every Sunday..

[oldunclemark]

I have a driving job on weekends so I dont see all the games but I hear them.

When I get home and watch the replay...its sometimes surprising how the impression you got on the radio was a little off

[Grigs build the lines plz.]

I'm gonna work on a few beers while watching the game. 

[NewEra]

I may get off in time. Not sure yet

[Douzer]

My fulltime weekday job is not getting me, it's my part time job that will conflict tomorrow. I'll be scoring the final round of the Palm Beach Open Championship, so I'll be stuck at the course until 3:30 or so, plus it's an hour drive home. Hopefully I can get something on my phone.  Go COLTS!

Just dig the grave on Saturday night and you'll be home in time for kickoff....
