When you call in sick from work....
- Thread starter Hank
- Start date
I called in sick one time from a payphone on the boardwalk in Ocean City. My boss said "I hear birds". I said I was watching tv. Then I came back to work 2 days later, all sun burned. He wasn't too happy with me. Oh how I miss my youth.
I put "the voice" on all the time just in case I need the excuse.
Sorry, can't make it...*cough*
Yeah, you sound terrible!

ha ha...this has nothing to do with work but when I was a kid I wanted to stay home from school one day, told my Mom I had a fever... She put the thermometer in my mouth and left the room. I then put it up to the lightbulb and then back in my mouth. She came in and read the thermometer and informed me I was dead.....

Been there, done that. I thought a 120 degree fever was totally possible...

Do like my boss- call in sick on a Friday and then post on Facebook for all to see "Zumba- done!"Or call in sick then call one of my subordinates to see if they want to go the gym...
Yeah, I am guessing the invent of Facebook has screwed a lot of people...

That's just called having priorities. Working out while sick promotes a faster recovery time.

I like to do the old... I might be a bit late this morning, I was throwing up earlier but feel a a little better. They normally say "oh no you should stay home"
Everyone hates throwing up

add me to the list
I don't know a kid that hasn't tried this. That's why I always made sure I watched the numbers go up while taking my kids temperature.

Another school story.....
One time I wanted to skip school, so I hid in the woods until my Mom left for work... She left so I went back home.... Started cooking up 2 delicious grilled cheese sammiches so I could chill and watch some tv... Heard my Mom's car pull back in the driveway, grabbed the pan with the grilled cheese and ran for the upstairs... I hid in the shower of the bathroom. She comes in and smells the grilled cheese and starts yelling for me..I stay hidden...She starts looking all around the house for me comes up in the bathroom, pulls the shower curtain back and there I am holding a pan with 2 grilled cheese sammiches.... Told me to get in the car so she could take me to school plus she ate one of my sammiches!! I hated school!

In My Opinion
I usually call in from home.
If Im calling in from work its much harder, not only do you have to do the sick voice, but you have to slap your face against a wall to make it red and mist water on to make it look like you are burning up with a fever.
that or go in the bathroom and make really loud puke sounds,,
or, run down the hall with your hands on your butt like you just blew out your o-ring or something..
No, I find it easier to call in from home.
Unless I have a date and Im calling my wife to tell her im too sick to come home
