You sound fat

Rundown: [community profile] rpanons is an anonymous community for role-play related topics. This place serves as a forum for game discussions, canon discussions, RP solicitations (ATP, game ads, open memes), and advice. The occasional off topic comment is inevitable, but please keep heated social and political topics to their respective communities. Posting them here will only get them frozen. Subsequent threads made to bypass a freeze will then be deleted.

Rules:

Do not post pornographic or shocking images.
Do not share private entries, plurks, chat logs, etc.
Do not use this community as your social/political/hatespeech soapbox.
Do not be redundant. One page does not need three or more threads on one topic/theme. Your unfunny, forced memes also fall under this rule.
Do not treat this comm like your personal therapist. Threads about nonfictional suicide, self injury, rape, and abuse will be deleted. There are better resources out there for you.
Do not treat this comm like your personal Plurk or Twitter. Off-topic happens, but it should be open for discussion and not just a play-by-play of your life. No one cares.
Shut up about Tumblr. If it's not a discussion about Tumblr RP it will be deleted.

what do you mean, "all the time off work you'd have to take"? cons are fri-sun, if you take off on the friday then you're only taking one day per con. a lot of people don't even bother taking friday off and just go for saturday-sunday, so they're not taking any time off.

that's assuming the people op is talking about have tradtional m-f office jobs

but even as a retail anon here, the issue of "taking the time off" is really not that difficult. i work full-time almost 40 hours a week but always get 2 days off; the week starts on sunday at my store, so i just request fri-sun off and an opening shift on thurs, and just work the other days of the week. doesn't cost me a single work day or use any of my vacation hours either.

the cost of everything else, coupled with a waning desire to be hot, sweaty, uncomfortable, and overcrowded for 3 days... has kept me away from cons these past few years, but time-off wise, even in a shift job, it would be totally feasible.

nobody ever works on the weekends. never.

anon, my work week is thursday through sunday.

well, yes, many people do work weekends.

however i don't think it's unreasonable to point out that a lot of people *don't*, and that for someone with sat/sun off, going to a weekend con is not going to require them to take much if any time off work.
