They are. You just have to sign up for them. Nobody’s gonna come drag you out of your comfy chair to do it like they do when you’re a kid.
There are probably twenty places in your city where you can show up and pay $20 for a tour.
If you’re in Denver, for example, you can go to the Coors brewery, or the Art Museum, or the Botanic Gardens, or Buffalo Bill’s grave, or Meow Wolf.
If you want someone to call you at 6 am and order you to call in sick to work because you’re going on a field trip, please let me know and I’ll make a business out of it.
I played hookie a few weeks ago and went down to the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo on a random Tuesday. It was glorious.
Later my middle schooler was looking through Google Photos and went "wait, you and Mom went to the zoo without us?!" Mwahahaha. Get rekt kid.
I'm often unsupervised in my work. Sometimes we can work extra hard for a few days and skip a day once we're sure that we're getting done on schedule. We say we were there of course. Got to go to MoMA and New York's Museum of Natural History this way.
Edit- letting your kid look through your Google photos account, pretty brave
Bahahaha I love it and I need to make this happen for my wife and I.
Along similar lines, there are chartered bus tours that you can sign up for to go to multiple destinations in a city farther afield.
The local bus company does a "mystery bus trip" every couple of months or so where you pay a flat fee, hop on the bus and go do something. They give you just enough info to know if you might want to do it or not and how to dress and the rest is just up to whatever happens
"Bring a shovel, painters overalls, and a bag of lime"
Exactly! I did tours through a cathedral, where we went inside the roof or behind the iron curtain of an opera. In any city, there are loads of these tours.
Stranahan's is a fun tour too!
There might be something to that... Is it illegal to forge a doctor's note? If so, you'll just need to keep a doctor on retainer.
Only if your employer requires a doctor's note for sick days. Honestly if I ever have another job that does require a doctor's note I might just make a habit of forging those because fuck that noise
Unfortunately it’s perjury. All places of employment are considered to be courtroom proceedings per the Honesty Expansion Act of 2021
lol wut
safety first
