Do you ever have one of those days when you really don’t feel like doing work? You’d rather go shopping in the city or binge a series at home on the couch! But what excuse do you use to convince your boss that you really can’t work?
15 excuses not to work
You can’t come today because…
1. … you have a cold/have to be quarantined (sometimes a pandemic like this is quite useful)
2. … the dog (yes, you suddenly have a dog) is being operated on urgently and of course you can’t leave the poor animal alone.
3. … you ate spoiled chicken, they usually don’t need to know any further details.
4. … you got lice from your sister’s children and you obviously don’t want to cause an epidemic in the office.
5. … your children have forgotten their key and are freezing outside.
6. … you have an allergic reaction and your whole body is covered in red bumps.
