Good calling out from work excuses
#5663572 - 05/23/06 10:24 AM (17 years, 8 months ago) |

I've used all the classics...a billion times (stomach flu, flat tire, car won't start, stabbed my girlfriend and have to hide the body before the cops show up, etc)
I need good, unquestionable reasons as to why I'm not coming in this pit for a day or two at a time.
Thanks for looking at my wiener...I mean thread.

Seriously, that ALWAYS works. What you do is call and don't say exactly what's wrong but make it clear it's your stomach, and just be like "I really don't want to go into it.." and they won't wanna hear about it and will rush to get off the phone.

I'm lucky to have a nice boss. But in terms of making an excuse, does it matter? Do you get credit for having fucked up things happen to you. If you call in sick a lot it seems like they won't beleive whatever you say. I wouldn't if I were your boss and this was a regular thing. If I were in your situation I would keep it private. Like, "I have to take some time of for 'personal' reasons". Make it sound serious and private, like it would be an invasion to ask for more details. Then they will make up your excuse for you.

If you're working any kind of trades job and you tell your boss: "I have to take some time of for 'personal' reasons"
He'll tell you to go ahead and take the rest of the fuckin' year off.

What you hippies fail to realize is that employers are looking for people who show up for work, not people who make excuses.
Any employer worth his bullwhip will quickly spot an excuse maker and send them down the fuckin' road.
You wanna call in sick all the time then just work day labor. They don't give a fuck who don't show up for work. Then you can miss all the days you want and work only as much as is nescessary to survive. Problem solved!

I've seen many a hippie swinging a hammer before and always showing up for work.
Well, maybe not the "always showin' up" part.

Maybe that would only work at my company. They give people respect here. But I've worked retail, and I can imagine that happening.

I've never called in sick. I was once excused from work when I puked after getting there, but I've never actually missed work unless I asked for the day off ahead of time.

Sounds to me like someone who's more interested in work than life.
I always feel bad for people when they tell me they've never called in to work. 'Cause seriously (not to sound clice, but...) fuck work.
