If need a day off badly, I got plenty of family to kill off to my boss
I used to keep a picture of a flat tire on my phone then send it to my manager like "caught a flat, far from work, won't be coming in"
anything revolving my son... simple as that
Man I had sum creative ones til I had kids
Now alli gotta say is my son blah blah, my daughter whaever whaever and folks be like shyt take 2 days
But my fav excuse used to be "Bad Chinese" no1 ever question ish after that
Me too...other than once when I called in sick and actually made it a vacation day and went to NYC for the weekend through to Monday.Never took a day off of work with an excuse.
If I was sick, I was really sick.
