You guys all realise that 'most' managers don't really believe it when you're fine one day and suddenly terribly ill the next morning (there are exceptions of course, like food sickness). If you're a good employee otherwise they'll let it slide occasionally. However, I'd suggest just being honest and saying you're taking a personal day (If management are not pricks they should allow it)

From an ex-managerial standpoint management has to allow occasional sick or personal days. They are days given to you in the terms of your employment and I have never felt that management has a right to question thier use. For example I get 5 sick days a year, if I don't take them I lose them at the end of the year. I'm certainly GOING to take them regardless of whether I'm actually ill or not.

Sounds like some wierd STD

I'm so convincing I usually just call and say I am sick

on the odd occasion I've called in and been like "there are some things I have to do today, which I can't do on any other day..."

haha

no problems thus far...

When I worked on a help desk, a Tier 3 network guru called in one night. He said that he was not coming in because he had "personal things" he had to take care of. The manager had the guy on speaker phone and was grilling him about what was so personal that he could not tell him. The network guy just said that it was personal and that he had all of his personal days still left. This guy was always there, in the 3 years I was there, I never saw him not come in. Finally, he had enough of the mangers grilling and told the manager that he was not coming in because his girlfriend had come over that day and he now had the sheets so far up his arse that it would take a towtruck to remove them.

Needles to say I hit the floor laughing. I just could not hold back. The next Monday, I saw the HR ax lady go in and vist the manager that grilled the network guy. 2 hours later, she talked to me and asked what I had heard. I told the truth, but had to put a disclaimer on it because of the "graphic nature" of what he had said to the manager. She then thanked me for my input. 1 hour later, security was standing over jack@ss manager and watching him pack up his things and escorting him out the door.

Your roids are flaring up?


You have Swedish bikini team triplets coming over for r&r?

You cannot find your keys because you are so hungover that you can not see straight.

You had homemade chilli and have frequently foul gaseous emissions.

You visited your distant cousin Wang in a remote town in China yesterday and have a fever today.





Use your imagination
