    You can use the excuse I gave when I needed to fly to Pistoia to see Pearl Jam. I called in whilst sitting on the plane on the tarmac at Stansted airport and left a message on my boss's phone to say my boiler had blown, and that sparks had come out of some of the electrics in the cupboard and the electric had gone off. I said I was worried about a fire and so had decided to stay at home and wait for a repair man. I then switched my cell phone off and told him the next day that my battery had run out on my phone and that because there was no electricity I couldn't charge it up again. And I was too afraid to leave the house to go to a call box in case I missed the repair man.
    One of the highlightds of my year that Pistoia show. I was back at work in London the following morning. :)

    I like this. I don't have a boiler, but this is giving me other ideas. Good stuff.

    um, why don't you just call in and say "I'm not feeling well, I won't be coming in today."

    they're not going to ask you for follow up, and if they do just say it's personal.

    why make some big elaborate lie???

    Jury service is a good excuse, plus you're not supposed to talk about the case, so they can't ask any questions! You could probably squeeze a week or two out of that one!

    I have NEVER called in sick in 25 years of working. I have been sent home, but have never actually called in... I suck!! :(

    Yeah same here because I own my own business. I recently taught aerobic classes for 2 weeks right through that bad chest cold going around. I don't get sick days.

    that's a terrible excuse, because then when you really DO get jury duty you're screwed.

    technology has given me the ability to email/text message in sick. Since I can do this I usually get really graphic. The response is usually, " hope you feel better!"

    You usually just have to tell them that you are sick and they will not ask questions!

    No good...I could just unplug the toaster and go to work....it'd have to be stuck in the fridge or something for that to fly.

    Or along the same lines, "i cant make it in today as last night i was doing my usual nude housework, when suddenly i tripped and knocked myself out, when i awoke some two hours later i realised my penis had somehow managed to find a way of getting stuck in the vacuum nozzle, all i can say is ya dont wanna see the results, its messy alright"

    this can not fail....
