Need The Day Off Work Tomorrow? Bethesda Has Written You A Doctor’s Note!

Briefly: This is freaking hilarious.

As is likely clear from the myriad of Fallout related posts I’ve been writing over the past couple of weeks, the upcoming title is easily my most anticipated game of the year, and possibly even of this generation (it just depends whether or not The Last Guardian launches on the PS4).

After years (and years) of waiting, the game finally launches tomorrow, and I couldn’t be more excited for my Pip-Boy edition to arrive from Amazon.

Sadly, I have a day job (that’s not Geekscape), and tomorrow (and the next day), I’ll be working a 12-hour shift, meaning that I won’t have much time, if any, to actually give the game a shot.

In the same boat as me? I have too many bills to pay, but if you’re looking to get the day off, Bethesda’s VP of PR and Marketing, Pete Hines, has got you covered:

I figure some of you might need a note from your doctor for your upcoming “sick day(s)” this week. So here you go. pic.twitter.com/iF9btGJl3h

Yep, that’s a Bethesda-written doctor’s note, to get you the day off of work so you can play Fallout 4. It’s pretty silly (and unlikely to actually work), and it’s also pretty hilarious.

Rest that pancreas, watch the launch trailer one more time, and be sure to let us know just how excited you are to finally play this game.
