We've all had I'm sure days when you don't want to get out of bed and go to work. What was your best excuse or one you heard?
Women colleagues come up with all sorts of creative ones ranging from 'I ran up the back of a car as I was putting my lipstick on in the rear vision mirror' to 'My dog has a cold' ( yes, that's a reason for a day off to take the precious Chihuahua to the vet). Best I came up with was an allergic reaction to jellyfish which is half true.
Yours?

If your contract includes paid sick days and personal days paid, always take them, I have ten sickies and ten personals and they can't be rolled over to the next year. I rarely have days off but use them if we go somewhere for a long weekend type or I add them to the annual holidays.

When I was working in Brunei, believe it or not many excuses from Brunei colleagues for not showing up to work was 'I was possessed.' I mean seriously? Possessed by what or whom  Being possessed is a wild excuse. At first I thought this was a joke but it was for real, something in the Quran but apparently many people get possessed in Brunei, go figure that one out. |

For a half day, the one I used to pull is the "I've got liquid ass" routine, I "may" be in at dinner time.
A full day would be "I'm being sick out of both ends"
No one should be expected to go into work literally shitting themselves.
