Two I've actually used before I was in my own business.

"Hi I'm just calling to to let you know Im taking a sick of work day." (also known as the "native American" disease "Lackawannawork"


"Hi, I'm calling in to take a sick day. I've got a bad case of bassitus"

"Bassitus? whats that?

"Well, its an affliction of the right shoulder,elbow and left wrist. It can only be cured by spending 8 hours in a boat or standing on a shoreline with a fishing pole repeatedly casting into the water and reeling back in."

Employee - I'm not gonna make it in today, I have a partial case of the flu.

Boss - Don't you mean mild case of the flu?

Employee - No, it's like the flu, but without the L

My father keeps threatening to call in to work dead.  And then mention that he could return in about 3 days.   

One of these days I'm gonna do that!

I've actually never missed a day of work, (I need the money so badly I show up rain or shine, sick or well).

But these are all hilarious! Thanks, now the people in starbucks think im nuts!

This is a real excuse i used on my Boss, Called them up at 8pm the night before my next work day and told them i just bought a MasterCraft ProStar off EBay, it was down in San Jose Cali, well i live in Central Oregon, before i could even ask them for the day off, they told me have a nice trip and did i need any extra cash for the trip, told them thank you but i got it, drove 20 hours straight down and back, i swear I've never been that tired in my Life I'm getting to old for that anymore lol, Next scheduled day back i took the boat to work ( i work at a Resort on the Lake) and took them out after my shift to thank them for giving me the time off.

Its amazing how few employers understand the value of a bit of give and take.

[68ZooM]

Thanks, they are great employers and they treat me like there family, These are the kind of people that would give you the shirt off there back,  and ask for nothing in return, just be honest and work hard and do your best, Ive been working at the Resort since i moved to central oregon about 7 years now.  lol boy the stories i could tell you about working at a resort

Sure they do..........     

I GIVE them 50-60 hours o my life every week
They TAKE it for granted.

[Flipperk]

Boss, im taking the day off to explore more options.


One time near Christmas my family was going to Colorado (this was when I was 17) I wanted to go, so I go up to the supervisor that does the schedules and asked for the week of christmas off.

He said, no thats not fair for the other employees.

I then told him "Frank, look, im going to Colorado, you can schedule me if you want but you better be sure you have a replacement cause I will not show up to work. I promise you, getting fired cause im going on a snowboarding trip for a week is the best damn reason to get fired I can think of, and I will still sleep soundly at night."


This was when I was working at Kroger in the Customer Service Dept.


Safe to say, I got the week off  


Do I feel bad about this? NO! Hell I have a life to live, not a life to work.
