Busted!
There’s a story that goes around in my building about one particular woman who got caught at the mall once by the boss. It was his day off; she was supposed to be at the office. While they won’t keep you from getting caught where you shouldn’t be, these excuses offered by monster.com may help you take a breather at home for a day. Just don’t all of you start using them at once, especially if you work in the same place.
The one that always works, for women anyway, is “I have cramps.” Man, no one questions that one. Another one I have heard work is ’scheduling’ multiple gynecological appointments throughout the year. Schedule them far enough apart so no one notices, and if they do, who wants to ask for fear you’ll give them the answer: “well, I have an STD” or “that yeast infection just won’t quit!”
Come on, how many of you have used the “I have a headache” excuse? That is the lamest elementary-schoolish excuse ever. I mean, unless you get really bad migraines, take a pill and get to work. I have used the “I can’t get out of the garage” excuse, but it was really true. There was at least a foot of snow on top of ice, I don’t have four-wheel drive, and the lady hadn’t come by to snowblow. Yeah, that’s it.
