I plan on going into work today, I can honestly say when the patches for Madden and NCAA are released it will be like release day all over again (if they fix the problems I think that they will). Assuming this will happen in the next couple of weeks, I figured I would start a thread to see what excuse you guys use. I could use the typical "I'm not feeling well" excuse, but what fun is that. I want to throw some variety in there, lol. So what do you guys got?

Oh yeah, and let me add that I do not have any kids or else this would be extremely easy. The women at my job use this one faithfully to get out of work (not saying that it is not plausible), but some of them have admitted that they use it to get out of work when they do not want to come in.SimWorld NBA 2K19 Fictional Draft Classes

Re: What are some of the "call in to work" excuses that you guys like to use?
First let me say I haven't missed a day of work in 4 years. I do have kids but I don't use them as an excuse because Karma ALWAYS bytes me in the arse. I used "My son's sick" one day when he wasn't and he was in the hospital a week later. I used to use my car but everytime I said my car broke down and it hadn't it would within a few days.
So now I can't use car, kids, wife, house or my own health issues for fear of the Karma treatment which gets me everytime.
Now I would have to be REALLY creative......explains why I haven't missed work in a while I guess.
So lets see....
1. My Boss is an animal lover so I'll go with "I need to take my Dog to the Vet." I don't have a dog shouldn't be an issue.
2. ...Dam that's all I got. I'll try and come up with a few more.Originally posted by Anthony BourdainComment

I just say i'm sick...I don't really call in like that though. My sick and vacation days are just in a "PTO" pool, so if I want a day off I'll just schedule it, I don't have to fake anything.Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

But then you're f'ed when you actually have Jury Duty and your boss goes "But haven't you had that 3 times in the past year all ready? I thought after serving you're out of the pool for a year or two...."Nintendo Switch Friend Code: SW-7009-7102-8818Comment

I don't see why you need variety. If you are calling into work sick and need variety, then you probably should be going to work a little more...Comment

At Panera I used to say I just didn't feel good.
Now at my new job I'm just requesting off the days I plan on doing things in advance.Comment

Calling Method
- Complain about fake symptoms. A day before your day-off, make hints about your flu by casually reporting about your untrue flu-like symptoms throughout the whole day to your colleagues. For example, say that your bones hurt and you feel a little sore on that day. This way, your coworkers can make the connection to your symptoms from the day before.
- Call your boss early the next morning. Do not delay because it will cause displeasure to your boss. And also you will want to avoid your boss from labeling you as a bad employee by not informing him or her early. Moreover, if you call early, you will have a rather rough voice after waking up. This will give you some added credibility
- Make the call a short one. Just say that you are not coming in as you are calling in sick that day. Excellent choices are severe headache or stomach ailment, as they are common. Don't get too detailed. For instance, don't say that you were sick at 12:34 last night or your computer was yet to be cleaned of the vomit.
- Be prepared for a Q&A session. Is your boss nosy? Anxious about the sickness (if you work in food service, for example)? Try to imagine what kinds of questions your boss might have. Food poisoning? Contagious? Have you called a doctor? Have you taken anything? Try to have answers for these questions prepared ahead of time; otherwise you'll be fumbling and might lose your story.
- Get off the phone as quickly as possible; stories are told by liars. The longer you are on the phone, the better chance you have to mess something up.
i think if you follow this you should be alright.Comment
