Esau Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 the only acceptable excuse is camping in an extremely nice place. You should have come with us last week (for 10 days) when we ventured into the northern crownland...you would have liked (or loved it) it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 A guy I worked with once called in sick with halitosis, and got away with it. Another time, he called in with a separated shoulder, only to come back into work the next day. He got away with that, too. I guess it all depends on who you work for...

Douglas Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 oh...and make sure that when you call in, you call sick for 3 months previous to the current date. No one will question you. (worked for me) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 heck, they won't even look you in the eye for fear that they will catch the crazies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 make sure you're blubberingly tearful enough to barely be understood and almost any excuse will do (make sure they catch your name though) they'll be happy you're not coming in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Douglas Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 especially if you work with an all-male crew (although I've yet to use frankie as a call-in-sick excuse) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted September 2, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 crying! i totally forgot about that one! it works really well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paisley Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 they'll be happy you didn't come in AND treat you like a fragile angel when you get back to work and if they ask you about why you were away you can just start crying again, thereby dodging the question entirely!

Douglas Posted September 4, 2004 Report Share Posted September 4, 2004 this thread made me feel like calling in sick...so I did. For 2 days. And I missed out...our login context got jabronied and there was tonnes of overtime to be had. Instead, I got the sh!t job today of recreating printers on the network. No fun and by the end of the day, I couldn't bear to be there for 1 more hour. no overtime. crap. Oh well...at least I had the past 2 days off!!!
