Phony Excuses




I’m going to be completely honest with all of you. I know this may be hard for some of you to believe—and I know that it’s rare for an individual to have feelings like this, but there are some days when I wake up and I don’t want to…well…go to work. My job, even though I love it, can be a little monotonous, and sometimes I just need a good excuse for why I can’t come in. I like to be prepared for every situation, so I’ve decided to make of list of excuses that can be used in the future. That way, whenever I wake up in the morning and find myself in the doldrums, I’ll have handy a plethora of reasons why I’ll have to stay home that day. Feel free to try any of these with your own employer, as I’m sure you’ll see they’ll work for anyone.

Yesterday I came home and saw that I’m out of laundry detergent. Now I’m out of clean clothes and I can’t leave the house.

Last night I noticed a rash on my leg. I went to the emergency room and the doctor told me that I’d had an allergic reaction to my cubicle. I have to stay away from it for at least a week.

The Star Wars Fifth Edition Complete DVD Collector’s Set comes out next month. If I don’t get in line by tomorrow, I won’t get the free Darth Maul action figure.

My best friend is on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire later today. I need to be home in case he call and needs my help.

Yesterday after I was playing fetch with my dog. I couldn’t find a stick, so we used my car keys. Instead of bringing them back, he buried them. Now I can’t leave the house.

A couple of these aren’t great, I know. Please let me know if you've got any better ones, as I’m sure I’ll put them to use.
