I have a dang operation today. It's on a stupid out patient basis. The brain dead doctors call it a Rectomology. It's an dang operation where they sever the chord running from my stunninghunk to my eyeballs so I don't have such a sh**y outlook on life. I should be in tomorrow. Dang it.

If some idiot needs me to come in today, I can cancel my dang operation...

Uh, boss?  I'm just calling to let you know I can't come in today, due to some eye problems I'm experiencing.  I just can't see coming to work...

Uh, boss?  I'm just calling to let you know I can't come in, due to some heart problems I'm experiencing.  I just don't have the heart to work today...

Well for me it depends on what category we're going for...


Pathetic but true : "There is a half an inch of snow on the ground, how am I supposed to get to work!?"  (Only in the District of Columbia)  :lol

Annoying but true :  "Hey boss, I'm still in Philadelphia airport. " (2 days later...)   :furious

Sad but true : "My brother was shot this morning on the way to school."  (Led an urban development program in north-east Rochester NY, one of my employees/teens said this)  :(

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."

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

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  :D


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

I'm so sorry i couldn't come to work today boss, I tried out for American idol, but afterward i went home weeping in shame.


2nd come up with a long confusing sentence to confuse your boss. I used this on one of my teachers at school.

"Im sorry, My Moms 1st brother's 2nd sisters son died" (That's me!)

Use at your own risk.


"Sorry boss, I went flying today"
"Flying!?!?! why the hell would you go flying? you got a job to do!!!"
"Oh yea, i work for an airline now, thanks!"
