Work problem, need an excuse

Okay, I couldn't find a forum specifically about work, so I'll post it here. Anyway, I am going with my mate (DirgeOfCerberus) to see wrestling in Nottingham live on Friday the 10th of November, and it will be on for quite some time. I am going back to his house after to play video games, watch DVDs etc, and the following day, I have to go to work. I need an excuse for not going so I can miss work, since I am planning to do an all nighter at his house, thus making me unable to get up for work. I went on holiday last week and missed the saturday so I can't use that excuse. All good excuses will be rewarded with reputation. (By the way, I am not a homosexual or a bisexual before you ask)

Lmao. Okay thanks. I'm not sure about the funeral one, but I have to tell them on the sunday coming up, the 5th of November, as I won't be there for the 11th of November on the saturday. I could say I have a family crisis. Thanks again, +rep. xD

Family issues is a good one, but the dental appointment will get them asking why I can't come in after. Thanks, +rep. ;)

Yeah, I could do. I don't think they'll be happy with me having another day off. I'll have to make it up to them by working on the sunday. :rolleyes:

Just say you caught one of them 24 hour bugs, aka throwing up, sore throte etc... there never want you to come in if the throwing up is check.
Plus since there 24/48 hour things, theres no specualty on a miricle recovery if you go in the next day etc?

Try and make it sound plausable when you do it.

Like Brandon said. PEG ON NOSE.
BUT!!!

Make sure you don't sound to normal but don't giggle whilst doing it. (it may be hard).

You don't need an excuse for the first three days you stay off.

Idk where I heard that but apparently if your employer asks you you don't have to tell them.

Just tell your work that you're parents kitchen flooded and you had to help them because it was really bad?

Recently I skived off work to go go-karting. I said I had an important doctors appointment to attend which had been booked for ages. They can't ask you why then because its personal and confidential.

Food poisoning is a good way to go, Unpredictable and happens pretty often.

I make my mum call up and say im sick xD

Sick family member, virus going around your house, Hurt ankle[my fav], headache, flu, bad food, personal medical problems, important family function ie wedding. These loads just make sure its believeable

Cool, which house show are you gonna see? Raw or SD (not sure which one..)

Anyways, don't say it's a family issue because sooner or later they will usually find out. I'd call in sick, but I wouldn't say that you have a cold or anything like that, say that you have food poisoning, where you don't sound like your sick, but you are sick. Say that your condition is extremely bad, and that you vomit about every 10 minutes or so (Well that's what it was like when I had food poisoning) Then the next day at work, try to act a bit sick, but say you took some tablets etc. and you feel about 90% good to go. I'm sure most people will believe you. :P

Btw, have fun at the house show your going to see, i've been to 1 RAW and 1 house show and both were great xD

Oh and make sure to take lots of pictures especially when the divas come out, there's usually plenty of wardrobe malfunction hehe..

Food poisoning is usually a good one, just make sure your employer doesn't come on the forum and see's this thread lol =]
