THURSDAY THIRTEEN #274

Thirteen top reasons people call in for a last-minute day off.

  1. Family emergency
  2. Sick (non-specific)
  3. Religious commitments/holiday
  4. Doctor's appointment
  5. Family event/celebration
  6. Burn out
  7. Bad weather
  8. Car accident/can't drive
  9. No babysitter
  10. Back pains
  11. Upset stomach
  12. Household emergency (broken a/c or refrigerator)
  13. Pet got lost

Now I can't tell you how many of these people are fibbing.

  1. I've only called out for 2 & 4. Because it's too much work to have a substitute than to be here.

  2. When it reached the point where I was off sick more than I was working, I quit and switched to freelancing. I didn't really have a choice; I was going to lose the job anyway because I missed so much work. Some of us simply can't handle 9-5, I guess.

  3. I’m very glad those days of fibbing a sick day are far behind me. Once I turned back home 2 blocks from work. It was too pretty a day to type.
