Being sick excuse #12 - sick kids
If you have been reading this site for a while, or if you have just looked through the archives then you know about my success of inventing a kid and having no problem missing work. That’s right - sick kids are the golden ticket of getting out of work.
If you are a good little slacker then you either have made sure that your boss and co-workers no nothing about your personal life, or you have made them think that you have a kid.
If your boss and co-workers already know that you do not have a kid then this excuse will not work for you. Suckers.
This excuse is so simple that it’s brilliant.
You call in and say that your kid is sick and that you have to stay home with them. Try to avoid giving up any details on what is ailing little Timmy though.
You can milk this one for up to a week if you are good. And by good I mean your lying skills would win you an Oscar.
“…and I’d like to thank the Academy, and my boss for being such a biotch…”
The best thing about calling in with a sick kid is that you won’t be asked to show a doctor’s excuse to return to work. That and the fact that kids get sick a lot. I mean, christ, have you ever seen how often the little bastards come down with something? You could conceivably spend more time at home than at work using the sick kid excuse.
