Reasons to SKIP Work...

well a cold people can tell if you have one by your voice, but stomach issues, how can they tell? i dont skip work, but when i was sick, i had laryngitis and they could tell i was sick!

Fake an injury to the eye (like the actual eyeball). I have read somewhere that your eye heals itself faster than any other part of the body. Plus, you could wear a patch, bandage or something the day you return. Or just touch your eye a lot that day and keep it looking red and still irritated. No, I haven't used this one myself.

If you have to find excuses inorder not to get to work my friend then I think its about time that you consider the possibilities of changing your work. There could be a lot of reasons why one doesn't feel like working and that you have to find out why you feel that way and address the problem from there. YOu are actually not doing yourself and the company that you are working with a favor. You have to work in an environment that is very motivating for you to bring out the best in you & realize your full potential. Your company also deserves to get a competent and effective employee and if one is unhappy about something in ones job, one has the tendency to be unproductive and incur lots of absences. Everytime I find myself looking for excuses not to report to work, I just take a long vacation and see if I still feel the same when I come back. If I do, I would consider resigning and looking for a fresh job.

oh lets see how about that you have a stomache virus and puking all day and night.

Just wondering.....have you ever had bouts of carpal tunnel?? That would be a great one to give, cause you would be in so much pain, you couldn't use you hand to type on the computer..LOL

Well my reasons monthly would be having dysmenorhea or cramps when having my monthly period. Other escuses would be i have to take care of my nephews, stomach ache, i have to accompany my mom for regular check-up, allergies hehehe There are lots more but won't state it here because some colleagues might read it lolz!

'i am late to work because the train driver had an out of body experience and didn't come back for a day and a half.... ' LOL this ofcourse is for a reason to be late to work that i found on a different site....maybe you can modify it a little and use it as a reason too. maybe you can make it that you are the one having the 'out of body experience' and ask someone else to call on your behalf :)

Hello! I don't need to give anybody any excuses to skip work because I don't have a boss or somebody whom I have to report. Infact I have to give excuses to myself to skip work. Whenever I feel like not working, I just postbone that work to some other time when am free or wherever I can adjust. But when the work is really important, I do it even if I feel like skipping the work...vani^_^
