Quick! What's my excuse?????

[SaveABug]

I am going to call in and say I can't make it to work today. I stayed up late watching The Two Towers and imbibing, and feel like doo doo.
Help! What should I say? I have very little time to think about it!

1. Just say you aren't feeling well.

I'm not required to diagnose myself when calling in. If I'm sick, I just say I am sick! Leave it at that! :D

[SaveABug]

I feel so much guilt, though

that I feel the need to tell them I'm hungover and tired as hell. I have the habit of going into too much detail!

[GOPisEvil]

8. Tell them TOMORROW!!!

Gives you a whole day to come up with a temporary malady! :-)

Food poisoning is a good one! :thumbsup:

4. Amen, brother!

you get sick days, you are sick, 'nuff said! Your medical status is none their business.

[SaveABug]

9. They like to know everything

I need to either come clean with the truth or make up some outlandish story. I like the Mars gravitational pull idea.

[thom1102]

19. They may like to know everything,

but they are not entitled to know anything other than "I am sick, and I won't be in today. I will let you know about tomorrow, tomorrow. Thank you very much."

2. Food poisoning......

You've obviously been up all night with stomach cramps, vomitting, and diarrhea. You should not go to work today.

[SaveABug]

7. Would you mind calling and

letting them know that?

OOOWWWW. The crossed eyes are making it hard to read.

[Richardo]

3. Mars' hightened gravitational pull has given you a wedgie...

...you'll be in as soon as it recedes to its normal distance.

[SaveABug]

5. That's the one!

I can say it won't happen again for thousands of years!

[meegbear]

6. diarrhea

NOBODY questions somebody with that

[SaveABug]

10. hmmmmm

Actually, that has the ring of truth to it.

Going to meditate on the commode for a minute.

[GOPisEvil]

12. Oh, oh, oh...EXPLOSIVE diarrhea...

Add EXPLOSIVE. :-)

[Skittles]

11. YOU ATE SOME BAD CHILI

no further explanation necessary :O

[SaveABug]

14. Bad KFC actually

bad bad KFC. bad. real bad. really really bad.

I'm getting into the right frame of mind now.

[ScreamingMeemie]

13. Seeing as I have a migraine, I'll let you borrow it, and you don't even

have to give it back.

[SaveABug]

15. I would gladly trade you a hangover today

for a migraine tomorrow?

Hope you get feeling better! I believe I'll just walk to the edge of the earth and fall off now.

[SaveABug]

16. Okay

I'm *cough* calling *upchuck* in *burp* now. Wish me *oh the pain* luck!

[Richardo]

17. Be sure to lay on your back and hang your head over the side of the bed

while talking on the phone - really gives you that "i'm sick" kinda sound.

[SaveABug]

18. I just called in

I almost wish I hadn't, because I am feeling amazingly better already. Wow. Should I call back and say I'll be in later? OOOHHHH the guilt. I haven't called in sick in almost a year.

[StaggerLee]

20. Never rescind a call in

NEVER!
