This might come as a shock to you but people all over the United States that went to Black colleges are calling in to work “SICK” Homecoming week. Productivity at plants, grocery stores, schools, restaurants and of course WALMART is down during Homecoming week. I can’t speak for other cities but here in Greensboro for NC A&T’s Homecoming this is common practice.lol  Here’s a question for all employers…Why do you think almost all your black workers are sick the same weekend? The answer isn’t H1N1 it’s HOMECOMING! I can stretch the truth a little but I’m probably right. We are playing Golf, at the mall or shopping center, and most recently the buzz is going to Day Parties. Yes partying in the middle of the day! We can find somewhere to party at any time of the day!lol We are floating light bills, water bills, and car notes to get that perfect outfit, shoes and yes PARTY FAVORS if you know what I mean. Have fun this weekend or your homecoming weekend but make sure you got your story together to tell the bill collectors. What did you buy this week for Homecoming weekend? Be honest.
