Calling In Sick.
Here’s one for everyone who has ever called in sick and tried to sound a just a bit sicker than they really were. Next time, forget the teatrics and go for creativity.
Employee: â€I’m sorry but I can’t come in today.â€
Boss: “Really? Why is that?”
Employee: “My doctor says I suffer from Anal Glaucoma.”
Boss:.”Anal Glaucoma? What’s that?”
Employee: â€I just can’t see my ass coming to work!”
Ba-da-Boom.
Thanks to my friend Russ, a Navy Vet who rides a Harley and who can fix anything.
I just call in very early and leave a voice mail saying that I won’t be in. No excuses about being sick or anything, I just won’t be in. I also mention if that is a problem, give me a call. I’ve never gotten a call and people generally just assume that I was sick. No lying on my part!
