Top Five Excuses For Missing Work

Morning lab rats!

Today we're going to educate you to use some original excuses for skipping out on work (use discretely).

1. I was auditioning for Malaysian Idol


2. My car exploded


3. My route was blocked by a political protest


4. The line at Starbucks was long


5. I just got out of jail this morning

How about 'my car ran out of gas'?

You should actually say "can't afford gas anymore". This gives your employers subliminal pressure to adjust salaries. Make sure your colleagues collude on this one.

The stomach ache / diarrhea excuse is not unique but its definitely #1 here. It leaves no visual symptoms, doctors can only take your word for it and you need no witnesses to corroborate your story.

oh.. this very funny excuse i saw from hong kong tvb drama, boiling a pot of soup and forgot to turn off the fire.

oh damien, are u for real? noooo.... never use diarrhea as an excuse. the docs can find out easily by placing their sthetescope (how do u spell it, but my point is not the spelling). your tummy would be 'noisy' if u had diarrhea. ur tummy eventually wil be your witness.

the best is migraine. remember, its always the left side of the head. to make it even real, dont drink water b4 u visit the doc. u'll be given oral rehydration salts.
i know becoz i've be given tips.

p/s: i stumbled upon ur blog thru cindy's blog.

Damien- Thanks very much for your verbal diarrhea. Will take note.

Suz- Your insight is very astute and a little disturbing. I hope you read my other blog too.

Thanks for visiting guys, spread the word!
