That is called a "mental health day" in my books - now and then you just need to recharge your batteries!I try to avoid it (lying) but it has happened. I have called in sick when i only was really tired and wanted a free day. I find when you find yourself in a tight spot (hurt afriend or lie) it often works to be polite.
From this day on thats what i'm calling it!!!That is called a "mental health day" in my books - now and then you just need to recharge your batteries!
Realistically, all businesses should incorporate mental health days, to prevent unnecessary strangulation of some coworkers. It is a public service.
....I find curling into a fetal ball and urinating on myself works too....Re: mental health day...I wonder if telling your boss to bite your shiny metal arse would work as proof one needs said mental health day?

My boss (of all people) and I once compiled a 3 page long list of the most out-there excuses we could come up with as to why we couldn't make it into work. I wish I still had that list, but I remember one in which it goes something like this:
Employee: I can't come to work today. I have a flat tire.
Boss: So walk.
Employee: I can't walk. I have flat feet.
Boss: So crawl.
Employee: I can't crawl. I have a flat...knee.
I think that some people become so adept at lying...It is hard for anyone to believe them, when they are telling the truth. Habitual lying I think is the term.
I've never seen a group of people so happy about all that lying. : )
