Slacker tip #23 - She’s having a baby!
An easy way to get out of a day’s work is childbirth. No, not your own but someone else’s baby. This works best if it is someone that is close to you, like a sister. However, this will not work if your blabber mouth has already told the office about your wonderful childhood as an only child.
So, if your boss & coworkers either don’t know your sibling situation or think you already have a sister, this should work like a charm. I mean, everyone loves babies, right? So, you call in and tell your boss that you’re at the hospital or going to the hospital because your sister is having a baby! Excitement will ensue, because everyone loves babies. Best of all, you won’t need a note to get back into work! You can only get one day out of this little excuse though, unless you wanted to carry it on a little farther and say that there were complications with the child, etc. However, I would not advise this. I mean, why press your luck.
Upon returning to work be prepared to spout off the weight of the new baby and its precious little name.
Bonus points if you go to a party store and show up to work with bubble gum ‘it’s a boy’ or ‘it’s a girl’ colored ‘cigars.’
