Yeah I have a bunch of personal days saved up and just use those when needed, never have to really give a reason.

I use the food poisoning excuse every few months. No one ever bother swith thast one. Just stay home and play ps3. I never use the family emergency one because i'm sure Karma will come back on that one.

i just say im sick and not coming in. It basically just comes down to how reliable and how good of a worker you are. If they want to screw you over for doctors notes or just write you up or fire you for lame excuses they will do it.

I work from home for a company full time.
Hard as hell coming up with a good excuse to not "go" to work.

Pretty much. I try not to call out but when I do i'm honest. Like Dirty said, most of the time if I want to take my daughter somewhere i'll just call in and let them know that I wont be coming in today due to personal issues.
I have a co-worker who calls in and tells his boss that hes hungover LOL Then he cries whenever his department shows him no respect.

cant believe you have a coworker who uses a hangover as a legit excuse, or that your boss lets him get away with it.
i had a coworker do that one time, and it was pure comedy. dude was dragging butt at work all day due to a killer hangover. bossman happened to be out of the office most of the day. at around 2p, coworker decided eff it, i cant do this anymore, im going home. boss came back into the office about an hour later asking where the coworker was, i told him that he wasnt feeling well so he went home ( Ididnt mention the hangover, was just very vague about it). boss calls up my coworker and asks him whats up. coworker is honest and tells him that he just has a wicked hangover, and then drops this bomb "i feel so sick and wasnt able to do anything while there and felt i was doing a disservice to the company by being there." dudes got some balls to be THAT brutally honest. boss just about lost it. we dont drugs test here, or anything like that. from day 1, the company policy has always "your time/life is your business, but company time is company business. dont let your personal time/life get in the way of your work responsibilities". luckily dude didnt get fired (well not for that).

I always call out super early in the morning. Like right when I wake up, that way I sound all groggy and discombobulated.

food poisoning is always a winner... depending upon how cool your boss is... keep it 100... say you need a day and if you came in today you wouldnt be as productive as usual.

"DEA got my road blocked off again. Ill leave when I can"
This dude I use to work with worked 8 hours before getting fired after asking for a short notice day off & no showing the day after his emergency day off... Lolol. Funny thing is I saw dude the night before kicking it with people I know & was like," you understand that your working tmr right...", homie was trying to shrug it off like it was optional. Next morning I get a call from my manager heated lol
I go to work if possible but I use school work needing to be done & food poisoning if needed

As long as I find coverage, i don't need to give a reason....God Bless Perdiems!...now I can be on my deathbed and it would be pretty !+!%#! to leave my coworker running the whole hospital alone at night, being that we are only two therapists per nightshift...for the most part I always find coverage.
