    PTO pool here as well, though that's something the company started recently.

    Before that I would just call up my boss and tell him straight up "I'm not coming in today." that's made much easier by the fact that I have flexible hours, I can do a lot of my work from home and he generally doesn't give a **** as long as I get my **** done. And I do.

            I Never take off. So when I do take off, my excuse is whatever is really going on.
            Concrete evidence/videos please

              If my feet can hit the floor, I go to work. I've taken 1 unscheduled sick day in the last 5 years.

              But if you had to have an excuse, just say you think you may have pink eye. Its extremely contagious.

                Well, in response to whitesox, I have called in four times this year so far. With the job that I have that isn't really anything. Most of the individuals that work in the office I work in have called out at least 10 times already. Because most of the work that we do at the agency can be done from home, its not really a big deal if I call in. In all honesty, I'm usually way ahead with my work so if I call out I don't necessarily have to worry about catching up. But none the less, I still need to have a valid excuse for not coming to the office which is why I'm asking for a good excuse.

                  Just say you're not feeling well, there's no need for variety.

                      This is what I was trying to get at. Especially if everyone else has called in that much.

                      Say you have Pink Eye, best excuse so far . It leaves your boss with no real questions to ask, and it is extremely contagious.

                          Don't need an excuse. I don't call in very much at all maybe 2-3x per year, but today I did. I just told my boss I didn't feel like coming in.
