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

[Dozyproductions]

so my homies are in Santa Cruz from (today) Friday-Wednesday. and i happen to work every single one of those god forsaken 6 days in a row.
my boss will be at other locations of our business where other people have actually requested there days off.

(i wish i knew they were going there before they said it on facebook the day of -_-)

but anyways, i haven't seen these people in like a year + and they are like family to me, one of them a member here (GCmark) also his son is a member (grip2spare) he doesn't go on much tho. but yeah i grew up with these people and i need to get there for at least one day just to hangout with them.

so. i need you're help to come up with the most bullet proof excuse to give to my boss to get atleast one or maybe two days off (stay the night there lol)

cmon r3v you guys can really save the day.
thanks,
pantless.

I hope you got time off to see your mom in the hospital or this thread is bad karma on you.

yeah for time off requests at the last second never be too dramatic, the food poisoning thing is over played, one of the better ones is pulling a rare pic off a medical forum of someone breakingout in hives (no face, similar body structure) sending it to your phone, then txting it to him... say you have a bad allergic reaction and its all over your body
(maybe shellfish or somehting if you have never eaten it in front of him).. then go do what you want for a couple of days

Feminine issues?

Sniff pepper and call him so u sound super sick

[Farbin Kaiber]

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...)

Wifey drug me out to see Red Line (yeah I know shitty movie but she knows I have a thing for Nadia) the night it opened for the 1am show. I had to be at work at 6 the next day. I was there and put in my 12 with out complaint, did grab a nap at lunch time though.

[e34john]

Fuck if you don't want to go to work, call him up and tell him you can't come in. The next day call again and say you still can't come in. Most places count 2 consecutive call ins as one anyways. You don't have to tell him anything except that you won't be there.

Eat some activated charcoal.
Go into work
Start vomiting on floor.

Go home with gut rot for 2 hours, but the most legit looking sick day ever.

Or, Drink some epicac while at work. Enjoy projectile vomiting all over.
Go home wanting to kill yourself.

Or mix some salt and mustard powder, put that in some prune juice. Drink after getting to work.
Vomit purple shit that glistens everywhere, realize old people figured it out way before you.

Go home with the aftertaste of THAT. Stop at gas station and buy a snapple.


(You can use salt, mustard powder, and water. You can even use red food coloring in the water for added effect)





Just told the woman about this thread. Her response: "Drop off a letter full of powdered sugar. Enjoy the week off"

[Pantless Spency]

^^ LOLLL.
yeah the job sucks i wouldn't mind getting a new one....if i tried to ask my boss if i could have it off, wouldn't work because no one would be able to hold the fort down our location would be closed for the day....
im contemplating a good excuse but at the same time i need the money. sucks man.

[Mercury[BKM]]

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

[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.

[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.

[urbancynic]

Just go to work.

[Rau]

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

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
