Are you taking off work for the 6S Event on September 9?

[chestvrg]

I'll wait until I get home and watch the entire event on Apple TV Chanel.

 

[TheMacApple]

No

 

[Nukemkb]

Close my office door and dare anyone to disturb me. 😡

 

[L T]

Nope, I chose to be born in the UK so all apple event start at 6pm for me!

 

[Macsidia]

I would of been at work but I'm off now due to being ill.

Even if I had been at work, I still would of been able to watch the updates since it starts at 6pm.

I live in the UK so I don't need to take the day off work. The event will take place at 6PM UK time and I finish work at 5PM. I'll be back home in time to watch it at 6PM. 🙂

Same here 😉

Ha ha me too!

If I were at work I'd prob have the macrumors live update running on my second monitor. Might even stay at work as didn't get great connection last year on my crappy home broadband.

 

[ABC5S]

Does anyone really care if you, I, or the kitchen sink watch it or not ? I don't care if you guys do or not. Just another horrible poll. 😀

Last year i tried watching the iPhone 6 event and i just couldn't connect. I think the servers were so busy it was buffering and cutting out. Also kept getting some error when trying to connect.

Did anyone face this issue on last years event?

Blocked my calendar for 2 hours(1 - 3PM). Working from home after lunch.

 

[ttNB]

I'll go To lunch at 1:00, and watch it there on my break.

 

[firedept]

I am off Tuesday - Friday. Work weekends. No need to take time off.

 

[Phone Junky]

Yes, people actually take off for this. Crazy I know. I would never.

These are the same people that are looking forward to the next iPhone 2 months from now.

 

[kungxpao]

Holy crap, are some of you guys actually serious? Why in the hell would you take time off work for this?

 

[Wallabe]

Get back to work you lazy bums! And stop asking for extra sick days and holidays off. No raises for you.

From my experience, I get employees who calls out, pretend they are sick but are doing anything but sick-related.

There's a lot more to life than a phone. Unless you're one of those females who looks at your phone every 30 seconds and snapchatting your privates.

 

[Bbqthis]

I work at a tech company. We don't take days off. We "work from home"!

 

[Wallabe]

Holy crap, are some of you guys actually serious? Why in the hell would you take time off work for this?

It's because their phone is their life. Otherwise, there's nothing else going on. They can make any other excuses but that's the bottom line.

No wonder Apple can get away with stuffing 1GB of RAM in their 2014 flagship device. If people are willing to take off work to watch a keynote, they'll pretty much blindly follow Apple to the depths of no where.

 

[duaneu]

Holy crap, are some of you guys actually serious? Why in the hell would you take time off work for this?

Because it's fun. I have nearly 200 hours of vacation time on the books. Why not use a couple of hours for something I enjoy?

 

[Micky Do]

Voted "Who would take a day off….."

Thought "This poll is horrible."

But reckoned there should have been another option……

This poll is sad.

 

[CalmEnvy]

I wasn't going to take the day off work to watch the keynote. However now that I've taken both today off and tomorrow (called my boss tonight) due to the fact that my wife is sick and I have to take care of both her and our 5 month old son I might as well watch the keynote. Best part is that it starts around the time our son takes his afternoon nap so it's perfect.

There's a lot to life than work too!. You spend all your life working so what's wrong if someone wants to take a day off for watching a keynote that happens once a year!. To some people, the iPhone is a big deal!.

 

[scapegoat81]

I'll be taking a "In house Personal Day" around 1pm

 

[toille4]

I'll be up at 3am Melbourne time to watch it!

 

[Bryan Bowler]

Wow, there sure are a lot of people getting fired up just because a few of us like to watch keynotes. Try it sometime, it's fun.
