Getting off work early for a ride

Just wondered if anyone can tell me how early it's okay to knock off work and go for a ride? I left an hour early today and went for a ride. Do people think this is excessive?

FCN 8 off road because I'm too old to go racing around.

Guess it depends what job you do. I have Flexitime so can knock off around 3 if I want to!"The problem was, I was still using my eyes even though I had them shut"

to me, any excuse to get off work is a good one, and going for a ride may well be the best of all There's no such thing as a stupid question, unless you already know the answer!0

Just don't go in! Tell them you have heat stroke, dehydration and stiff muscles. Which will be true when you go in the next day ;-)0

I'm the man that keeps gravity working. I don;t think you'd be too happy if I left work early to go riding - well, once the novelty wore off, and you found yourself hundreds of feet in the air anyway 0

i beleve that to be a LIE, everyone knows gravity works because the earth is full of polystyrene balls and so we are attracted by the static0

well, DUH. Who do you think it is that has to rub all the polystyrene balls to make them staticy?ride_whenever wrote:i beleve that to be a LIE, everyone knows gravity works because the earth is full of polystyrene balls and so we are attracted by the static
that's right, yours truly. (as well as a few co-workers, we take it in shifts, obviously)0 -
Can you turn it all off when the hills point up? That's the problem in Yorkshire, all the hills are upwards ones, not downwards ones.0

no one has to rub them together, the heat from the center of the earth induces brownian motion that generates the static...0

no one wants to know about you rubbing your balls yeehaamcgee

I get brownian motions when I attempt DH...0

Sorry, no, I've done it in a place called Nebo once, so that I could ride downhill from my mate's house to the shop, and then downhill from the shop back to my mate's house, and I nearly lost my job!supersonic wrote:Can you turn it all off when the hills point up?

again, DUH.ride_whenever wrote:no one has to rub them together, the heat from the center of the earth induces brownian motion that generates the static...
we generate the heat, by friction, and fricition doesn't induce brownian motion, it introduces convection. it's the convection that spreads our work across the whole globe.
we've got to be careful though, because if we rub our hair too vigourously against the balls, then they convect rapidly, creating their own friction, which creates heat, which accelerates it all and AAAAHHHHHH cataclysmic positive feedback!
we call it a "resonance cascade"0 -
Nylon boxers = a LOT of static.0
