Being Sick Excuse #56 - Had to Take Vicodin For Pain & Can’t Drive
Okay, so this excuse may be a stretch but hear me out on this one.
My sister-in-law was just telling me a story about a sinus infection that got down in the roots of her teeth that was so painful that she had to take vicodin. Can this really happen or is she full of shit? I have no clue, but it did give me a great idea for an excuse.
Make up a reason for severe pain - any reason for it - and call in that you have to take vicodin for it and that makes you unable to drive (or function). No boss in their right mind would want someone at work that is on vicodin anyways. So, score!
Slacker Tip #204 - When You Get Reprimanded At Work
As a slacker I am certain that you have gotten into trouble at work a few times. For me, it is usually getting caught playing on the internet that gets me written up or talked to by a manager. If this has happened to you too, then you know that how you respond is very important. It can be the difference between keeping the cushy slacker job or getting fired. It can also mean getting monitored all the time at work, and no slacker wants that kind of shit!
When you get reprimanded for something slacker related your first instinct may be to make up an elaborate story. Don’t go that far.
My most successful response to date is something along the lines of “I’m sorry. My head was overloaded from looking at the first quarter financials and I thought a little Tetris might clear my head. Next time I’ll just take a walk.”
Try it next time yourself!
Make Your Camera Wireless
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Eye-Fi. All opinions are 100% mine.
Do you have a digital camera? I do. Ever since I discovered the blog of unnecessary quotation marks I have been carrying around a digital camera like every place that I go. So, if you are like me then you always have a digital camera with you. But what you do when it is time to get those pics from the camera to your computer? Well, I often misplace my card reader and I never has a USB cable for my camera. So, what ends up happening is that it takes days for me to find my card reader before I can get those pics uploaded from my digital camera to my computer. Frustrating, huh? Well if you have the same problem an Eye-Fi card could take care of that little problem. It is a new super easy way for people like you and me to get what is stuck in our camera out of our camera real quick like. It really makes sharing pictures and getting the pics from the camera to the computer almost effortless. So, if you have a digital camera why not check this out today!
Slacker tip #203 - Start a recycling program at work
Before you say that this sounds like more work, just hear me out.
Everyone is all about going green these days. So, if your office does not recycle things like cans or paper or toner/ink cartridges from the printers & copiers then you can use this tip.
Ask your boss or HR if it is okay to start a recycling program. Tell them that you will collect the stuff weekly and make sure that it gets taken to a recycle facility. Chances are pretty high that they will go for this as it is green and it makes you look like a saint. There are a few perks to this little plan:
1. You get approved non-working time each week when you get to collect the recyclable items.
2. You may be able to make cash off this - i.e. aluminum cans = $$
3. You may get free paper at Office Depot or the like - i.e. office supply stores take empty printer cartridges to recycle and they give you free reams of paper in return.
4. You may get a date with that hottie that’s into environmental causes.

Slacker Tip #202 - Never Friend Coworkers on Facebook
At the last job I started one of the first things I was asked by the guy training me was “Do you Facebook?”
When this happens to you at work the correct answer is always “NO.” Seriously. Don’t even be tempted to say yes. In the event that you become good friends with someone you can always friend them later.
You see, friending coworkers on Facebook can lead to all sorts of problems for a slacker. People always know what you’re doing. If you get on Facebook at work then people will know about it. If you call in sick but take a trip to Rio and post the pics then the coworkers will see it. It’s just a bad idea all around that can result in you getting fired from that job that is so easy to do nothing at all day.
What Would You Do?

I have talked on here before about how every slacker needs to have a cool cell phone that allows them to do things like get on the web, do some chats, use Social Media, send texts to your peeps, take pictures or video, and listen on a music player with Dolby Mobile technology for crystal-clear sound quality. Well, thanks to the new LG Chocolate Touch you can do all of that with one pretty cool phone. How cool would that be? Never mind the fact that it would make things oh so easy as you would only need one cute little device to be able to do all of those things. This is also great for people that are vagabond travelers. There are some cool effects for music listeners, other can the sweet Dolby Mobile technology that offers crystal-clear sound quality. There is a Rhythmical Beat that vibrates the handset to the beat of the music! What I really like is the one-touch Social Network Message Key that allows for easy use of Mobile Blogging, including facebook and twitter! YOu also get visual voice mail and other top-notch media stuff. And a 3.2MP camera and recorder with editing software! Check it out today!
