    Um, call in sick. Just because you don't have sick days doesn't mean you can't be sick.

    Tell them you overslept because you couldn't get any sleep on the plane because of some FCKING infant in first class.

    Tell them you got beat up by Patti Labelle's bodyguards.

    Tell them your a/c fan blade was not turning so you had to get it fixed.

    Tell them you ran into a machine that destroys EVERYTHING! and your car got destroyed.

    Tell them you got tackled by animals being dicks.

    Tell them you got caught up watching UFO's.

    Tell them you were taking film-making classes at DeVry.

    Tell them you got involved in a gang fight at the DC Caribbean Festival.

    Tell them you had to take off your diaper for the TSA and got delayed.

    Tell them you got arrested at the airport for sagging pants.

    Tell them you saw a white man for the first time and was too blown away to come in.

    Tell them you were looking for a sports car between 15k and 20k and a luxury apartment under $1000/month near the TMC.

    I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake. A terrible flood. Locusts! IT WASN'T MY FAULT, I SWEAR TO GOD!

    Don't lie.

    Tell them you need a personal break for something important, and if they press on, which sounds unprofessional, just tell them you have an interview for another job. :eek:

    See what that does to help you either negotiate better salary or a better set of benefits and work environment in the current job.

    Food poisoning works. It's common and people understand that you're likely stuck in the bathroom vomiting and/or with diarrhea.

    I would tell them ahead of time that you will be coming in late on Friday in order to attend to some personal matters. If they press for more details, just say "it's personal and I would rather not discuss - I will be in by (whatever time you know you'll be back)."

    Lying to your supervisor is often grounds for termination, but being vague is not (at least not at any company with which I'm familiar). Making up a story can only bite you in the ass.

    You forgot to say "tell them that I have to stay home and listen to so many CDs and post about it in the 'What Are You Listening?' thread"

    Add to that that you have to meet the "camera lady" because your wife tried to meet her but she came in a different vehicle and she only came after you had talked to the Girl Scouts a couple of times and had to mention about getting the "authorities" involved. Make sure that your boss knows that your wife and the camera lady "almost duked it out" over this.

    Oh and the Doctor fixed you of course.
