You excuse can be elaborate or simple, specific or general, humiliating or dignified. It doesn't matter, it just has to get you out of work for however long you don't feel like going without getting you fired.

Here's a few I've been saving:

"Sorry, boss, I can't come in to work today because I can't stop making GBS threads. I'm making GBS threads right now while I'm talking to you." *fart sounds into phone*

"I'll be there as soon as I can but frankly traffic is pretty bad and I don't anticipate it letting up before tomorrow morning."

"I'm not coming in because I overheard [recently fired employee] saying that he was planning on shooting the place up today."

"Why are you there? It's a day off today! Everyone else is there, too? They must have missed the memo. Yeah, I'd send everyone home before you get in trouble for making them work on a holiday. Good thing you got me lookin' out for you."


Excuses can also be useful for getting you out of work while at work:

"My e-mail has been weird all day. I guess I didn't get the assignment."

"I'd love to but I'm swamped with other stuff right now, have you tried asking [hard working guy who can't refuse a task]?"

"It's actually done. I sent the project to corporate a half hour ago. They didn't get it?" *feign outrage*

Ive been taking half days and shaving a few hours off in the mornings the last few days due to "diarrhea". Thing is, it was true, but it was in no way debilitating so really I just wanted to go home and play video games while I got paid :X
