cabensonI tried to get up for work this morning but failed miserably. To say I feel (and look) like shit would be a disservice to shit everywhere. I think I am gonna go try and cut my head off but before I do that, here is a ?OTD:
What is the best/worst excuse you have ever used when calling in sick to work or school?
My answer: About 13 years ago, I was working nights and wanted the night before Thanksgiving off so I could spend time with my then 1-yr old nephew. My request was denied so a few days later I told them my great-grandmother had passed away and I needed off for the funeral. I then went home for the weekend during which time my great-grandmother actually DID die. I had to take the folowing weekend off to go home for her real funeral. Never used that excuse again.
