Who else took the day off for opening day?

[Chuck]

This will be like the 20th year I've scheduled a PTO day on opening day. Drink my own cocktails and beer, eat my own snacks and watch the game on my 70 incher w/ surround sound. Best seat in town for opening day so I can check out all of the games and not drop $100-$200 at the sports bar.

Just in case you forgot to schedule this day off, MLB's got you.

[Angel Oracle]

It should be a national holiday for the national pastime.

[arch stanton]

Will be 11 PM here. I'll try to take a nap this afternoon and get up to watch

[SoCalSportsFan]

Someone in the LA County Sheriff's Dept. had some fun with this one:

Dear Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department Sheriff Villanueva,

Deputy Yeni Deciga and PIO Ali Villalobos will be out of the office tomorrow.

Los Angeles Dodgers said it was ok.

Happy Birthday Matt Harvey!  Looking good getting on the team bus to the airport!

I have a webinar for an hour at 11am, then I am going to watch the pregame and then the game. Unfortunately I might have to pause the game for an hour for a possible conference call with someone who's in Melbourne Australia which is 18hrs ahead of me. Still don't know if the call is going on for sure Thursday, or if we'll postpone it to sometime Friday afternoon, but I'm not going to complain about moving the call to Friday!

[Taylor]

I'll be watching the game on my phone at work.

I can't take the day off or pay for parking. 

[Stradling]

If they start on the road then I take both opening days off each year.   I am off tomorrow.  

[ScottT]

No. I'm a bad fan.

Thinking about taking days off to see the Angels in St Louis, Boston, ???

[Tank]

wait, aren't all of you on spring break like i am?

When I was working we always listened to the game on the radio in the shop.Now that I lead the life of a retired person I don't miss anything. All set for tomorrow,grilling hot dogs eating peanuts,drinking beer and watching Angels baseball. Doesn't get much better than that.

[Ray McKigney]

I've taken opening day off for the last 8 years. I can't wait. I'm pumped!

[Mark68]

My boss is in Japan, and his boss (the director) is on family leave since his fiancee just had a baby, so I have to run things around here. Unfortunately, I don't get to choose to have today off.

Parking at Angel Stadium is the new Rolex.

[Fish Oil]

My intentions are to sit in my chair and watch the game in comfort; however, one never knows when I might receive a call informing me of a scheduled flight to some unknown destination. My employer tends to push the panic button rather easily and has even woken me in the night with "hurry to LAX." 

[Dick Enberg]

its quarter end and all hands on deck. only light of day I'll see is through my office window. luckily I can watch the game on my extra monitor through FoxGo

[Jay]

Glad to see this year we actually have Opening DAY. That was always my favorite. Especially living in So. Cal. where the weather is nice. 

I had a buddy who lived in Anaheim (RIP) and we would congregate at his house for a few beers then head over to the stadium.

Every other year either the Angels or Dodgers would open at home, so Opening Day at the ballpark was an annual tradition.

Good times.

Is it weird though, that the Angels have opened on the road against OAK three years in a row?

[T.G.]

I'll be at Dodger Stadium

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Oh wait... It's not April 1 just yet.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

No day off for me, although I have a light workload today, plus a mid-day on-site meeting was just cancelled. So, I will have plenty of work time to waste devote watching the game at work today. The dog and beer will have to wait until I get home tonight. 

[vlad27]

Full work day for me since my boss is a jerk ( oh wait , I’m self employed ) gonna have to check game day frequently- Go Angels !!!! 

[halonatic13]

I'll be watching at work.  Luckily my boss is a baseball fan as well, maybe he'll sit at my cubicle too.

[UndertheHalo]

I’m considering pretending I have aids so I can go home early. 

I’ll be back at work tomorrow.

I think I've stayed home from work on Angels Opening Day for the past 10 years or so, I can't remember if any of them occurred on a Sunday, but if they are during the week I use a PTO day. It's honestly a holiday to me.
