Being Sick Excuse #51 - another way to get out of work when you’re already there
Okay, so you’re at work and you don’t want to be there. How bad do you not want to be there? I ask because I have a way to get you out of work from lunch till the end of the day, but it will be uncomfortable.
If you are a coffee drinker, get a cup of coffee and leave it on your desk. Let it cool completely. Around midday “accidentally” knock over the cup all over yourself. Now, you have to make sure that you drench yourself pretty good. And coffee stains, so you might want to keep that in mind.
When you do this, you need to react like it is hot coffee, or at least warm. Jump up out of your desk and cause a commotion - look like you are in pain from hot coffee. People, including the boss, will likely come to your cubicle to see what the commotion is. You will get to go home to change your clothes. When you get home call back and say you think you need to go get some burn ointment for a place on your leg. If you get asked for a dr’s note the next day just say that you got some neosporin instead of going to the ER.
