But great when you have to ask the boss if you can take a day off.
Some years back my karate dojo invited a world class grabbling fighter to come to Denmark for a week and teach.
He told us that he'd be available all day, every day during that week if some of us wanted to work with him.
The most the other guys could do was getting a single day off, I told my boss I was taking the whole week off to better my grabbling skills, turned around and told myself: " good idea, go for it"
Now that is a good boss.
I don't think I've ever been more physically beat than after a week of being on the mat with that guy, but I sure learned a LOT.
