Who among us hasn’t, on occasion, called in sick when you really weren’t? Sick time is often a “use-it-or-lose-it benefit”, and that fuels the temptation to hit the snooze button and just call in sick. Hey, I’ve done it. You’ve done. We’ve ALL done it. I figured today would be one of those days, where we were all “spent” watching the Super Bowl yesterday, that today, of all days, might be kind of good to be *cough cough* kinda sick. (Hey boss, I have NEVER done that here……just sayin.)

Don’t you think the day after the Super Bowl should TOTALLY be a national holiday…of laziness? Me too! I was exhausted after that nail biter game, and could, for sure, have used some more sleep today! But here I am, like a trooper, at work, adulting like a pro! (You seeing this boss…!!??)

That leads to me to my question; what is the WORST excuse you’ve ever used to get out of going into work? Even worse than some thing like the dog ate my car keys?! Maybe you’re an employer…what’s the worst excuse you’ve ever heard from an employee?
