Revenge of the Sith, Indeed

An article from The Globe and Mail reports that “one” report estimates that worker absenteeism could cost businesses as much as $627-million over the Thursday and Friday opening of Star Wars: Episode III -- Revenge of the Sith (opens May 19th).

The Geek Squad site has a “May 19th Excuse Note” form you can download and use for the occasion.

I'm curious to see if George makes good on this one--especially given the crappy nature of Episodes I and II. However, I will be at work on the 19th and 20th, if only to avoid the costume-wearing, line-quoting, mob of fanatics that may^h^h^hwill ensue.
