And while kids can play this game all day long (since they have no real responsibilities), us adults have to deal with a whole lot more just to get a glimpse of that game on our PC or console.?
However, to ease this pain, at least on the work-front, social media teams of the COD game shared a solution to all the gamers by designing a letter template for a 'leave of absence' to play COD that they can submit to their bosses.
The letter reads: "I am writing to advise _______ is to be relieved of all current duties commencing 0001 hours on October 25. "The circumstances of their absence are of a highly classified nature, hence should not be subject to questioning due to the sensitivity of activities during the aforementioned time period. "Their contribution to the task at hand is of International Importance. You may overhear them discussing preparations for their time away, and we advise that you do not engage. "Please disregard terminology 'loadout', 'sesh', 'we on', 'no scope' and 'them Ws'. As a citizen, this is none of your concern." In the end the letter is signed off from 'Colin O'Duty'.
While all this is all good fun, no one really would send such a letter to their bosses (and risk getting fired). But one man that goes by the name of Chris Carter (Twitter handle @the_sarge1984) had the guts to send it to his boss to see whether he gets lucky.

Sadly (but unsurprisingly), he didn't as his boss had a rather befitting reply stating "You can kiss my a**! If anyone is having tomorrow off, it's me."
Chris, who works as a refrigerator engineer shared this with LADbible and said, "Me and my team leader regularly play CoD together and we also play Airsoft together. We are both in work today and on the same site, ribbing each other about CoD and trying to get finished first to see if we can get off early."
Isn't he the coolest boss or what?
