Unfortunatly I have to get up super early for work so....... frown
Dude, tell your boss you have to go on a super secret bombing mission for the fatherland and it is vital that you be there. The war effort is counting on you! Besides, it will look good on your resume.
How can he turn you down? You'll be a hero when you go back to work on Monday having survived the onslaught of all those fighters, or even better, elevate yourself to near COD like status explaining that Yes, you really did die, you got blown up at 22k!
He might buy it.....
