I'm running out of alibis and good reasons not to report to work. If you're up to it, let's do a compilation of believable and original excuses not to go to work. Like for example if you call in sick..., what type of illnesses do you declare? LOL

Fake an injury to the eye (like the actual eyeball). I have read somewhere that your eye heals itself faster than any other part of the body. Plus, you could wear a patch, bandage or something the day you return. Or just touch your eye a lot that day and keep it looking red and still irritated. No, I haven't used this one myself.

If you have to find excuses inorder not to get to work my friend then I think its about time that you consider the possibilities of changing your work. There could be a lot of reasons why one doesn't feel like working and that you have to find out why you feel that way and address the problem from there. YOu are actually not doing yourself and the company that you are working with a favor. You have to work in an environment that is very motivating for you to bring out the best in you & realize your full potential. Your company also deserves to get a competent and effective employee and if one is unhappy about something in ones job, one has the tendency to be unproductive and incur lots of absences. Everytime I find myself looking for excuses not to report to work, I just take a long vacation and see if I still feel the same when I come back. If I do, I would consider resigning and looking for a fresh job.

'i am late to work because the train driver had an out of body experience and didn't come back for a day and a half.... ' LOL this ofcourse is for a reason to be late to work that i found on a different site....maybe you can modify it a little and use it as a reason too. maybe you can make it that you are the one having the 'out of body experience' and ask someone else to call on your behalf :)

Hello! I don't need to give anybody any excuses to skip work because I don't have a boss or somebody whom I have to report. Infact I have to give excuses to myself to skip work. Whenever I feel like not working, I just postbone that work to some other time when am free or wherever I can adjust. But when the work is really important, I do it even if I feel like skipping the work...vani^_^
