The Day After the Super Bowl Could Be Rough in Washington

Who is already going to be sick on Monday, February 9th? Real sick or fake sick? Actual hangover or the lie of the hard-to-disprove “Tummy Ache”? Many across Washington plan to play hooky, and if it goes a certain way, I can see many people skipping out on the whole week!

Sick After Sporting Events?

I worked with a person, and I love them deeply, but you could mark on a calendar the days that they would call in sick, or late for work. If the Seahawks were playing, plan to cover. If the Mariners were set to lose, plan to allow emotional support. If someone was releasing the Kraken, the excuses were also released. In some ways it was nice so you could plan a ahead just by looking at the sports schedule.

How Are You Feeling... On Monday After The Super Bowl?

When it comes to “Super Sick Monday”, people’s feelings are a little different. It is reported that over 22 million people are expected to skip work that day, and for the ones that do come in, you know they’re probably going to ‘phone it in’.

If the Seattle Seahawks are to defeat the New England Patriots, I can see many people in Washington taking more than just Monday off (my cousin has already informed me that he put in for vacation for the whole week, either for celebrating or mourning).
