Tired of wasting summer days in an office or classroom? Do you have a grand plan to skip out (or have you done so already)?

Summertime is here and it's easy to feel that you're wasting it, bathing under the florescent lights at the office or fidgeting in a classroom seat. It's the time of year when some start to toy with the idea of playing hookie – for a day or afternoon – to hit the beach or pool, watch a sporting event or just enjoy a relaxing drink somewhere.

The trick, however, is to have some fun without burning up a vacation day. If you've dodged work to go play, we want to hear your stories of success and failure. And if you haven't, we want to hear your potential plans.

Technology has only heightened people's ability to appear in the office when they aren't, although you have to do it correctly, as one American recently learned the hard way when he failed to adjust the auto-capitalization function on his phone.
