R3V.....i need thy help. (best excuse to get the day off)

[devon.818]

i wouldnt work at a job where i couldnt take a day or two off if i wanted.

i'd tell them to fuck off. dont be a bitch. there are other jobs out there. unless they are paying you over $20/hour it's not that serious of a job for a teenager. (you're a teen right?)

wow, this is retarded as shit!
jobs aren't exactly the easiest to come by. hell, i moved across the fucking country, left my home and family because i there was zero work out in cali.
jobs aren't disposable, and that way of thinking is completely assbackwards and shows the flaw in the American way of thinking.



OP, just be honest, see if he can help you out. if not, see if your buddies can drive up to you and you all go out for some drinks.

i got work ethic lol, i just happened to end up in a shitty situation and i want the day off but i know if i ask it will be a no.
i haven't missed a day of work at this job.

just a little comparison here. I have never missed a show up for a day of work, and can count on 1 hand how many days I have been late, in the last 15 years. I have been sent home for being too sick to be there.

Also I have worked 12-16 hour days 7 days a week for almost 7 months with less than 5 days off in that time though the holiday season.

So saying you never missed a day of work at this job, is kinda a cop out IMO. Sorry....

[Desaevious]

I hate coworkers who don't take their time off in advanced. I take my shit off 2 weeks ahead like I need to and I've missed all sorts of food, parties, friends, and waffleswaffleswaffleswaffleswaffles. I get time off as requested no problem. If I have to work until 10pm and then again at 9am the next day I can still get plenty hammered at a party and go into work well rested to do my job. When I know the fuckers I work with "call out" to go recover from a hang over our management starts cutting hours.

Then again, I'm just big box retail and not a "big boy job" but I won't be any different when I'm off in the professional environment.

Dont make this the first you miss then.

^^^ i'm not taking my job for granted... im just in a really shitty situation and i know i probably wont see my friends and i will end up working. just wanted a thread to sway me a little on which to do, and also hear the funny excuses people can make.

I think you have been swayed. And if not, don't come back complaining about getting fired from your job.

just don't show up, hang with your bro's. then when you get fired someone will take your place who won't take it for granted.

Perfect example of whats wrong with our country. Our grandparents, and relatives before them would go to work dying. Why, because they were thankful they had a job, and were proud of their work ethic.

Five years from now, I predict people will be finding ways to get out of work due to lack of sleep from going to a movie opening at midnight on a Thursday. Oh, wait...

EDIT: Oh, and this is childish bullshit, Santa Cruz is what, 75-80 miles away? You can drive out to see them on your day off.

(Just used mapquest to check...)

not worth losing your job in these economic times if thats a possible consequence. especially in cali

Just go to work.

Man up and work. Kids with no work ethic fucking suck.

[nomansland92]

Life is to short and don't waist it on a part time job that will never get you anywhere. If this were you career than that's a different story. I would call off, hang with your buddies, and go back to work the next day and then start looking for a better job.

Say your family is opening a Cupp'o Pizza Palace franchise and that they really need you there that day to prepare all the Cupp'o Pizza

[Mlarsen]

Tell them you have explosive diarrhea. On a serious note, sack up go to work and hang out with your buddies when you get off.

[Brandon12V]

Don't even bother calling in. You're in jail for aggravated assault on some dude who smacked your girlfriend at the bar last night.

In all seriousness, man up and use a sick day or PTO. If you have neither of those available, then you're being underpaid for a company that cannot operate without you being there for one day.
