most ridiculous reason you called in to work
 

Not the most ridiculous EXCUSE.

But the most ridiculous reason you decided to call in to work.

...About 2 years ago, I was completely obsessed with strategy-rpg game Disgaea 2. I was so into the game that hours and hours would pass without me even noticing. One time I was in the item world and I didn't have any way to get out and save and I still had a good 30 floors to go and there's no way I'd be able to finish it before I went to work... so I called into work. I spent the whole night playing Disgaea 2 and enjoying life.

In fact, I'll go so far as to say, even if I haven't done ANYTHING, not going to work has always been awesome. Even if I just stay home and sleep... it always rules.

I totalled another amp, so I called in sick

my boss calls in sick two or three days every month, it's put me off doing it unless i am genuinely ill

The first time I missed work, I didn't even call in. I think I spent the time sleeping in my car and hanging out with my unemployed friend.

The pay just wasn't worth the hassle (the job was very labor intensive) that day.

so I could masturbate to the lesbians making out on the Howard Stern Show.

"I'll be there at about 10 though."

I called in sick so I could eat pizza and watch the Producers.


At 8 in the morning.

umm....hmmm no idea. Adam...that is a great fucking story though. I once called off of work to go to a short story reading....funny thing is that I ended up not going and just getting really high.

i guess it when i skipped to watch huckleberry finn on tcm, i just had the tv on while i was getting dressed and i was like........this movie looks good, my work is not good so fuck i'm not going to miss the conclusion for fckin value village

One time I called in sick because I was feeling sick.

I remember feigning illness back in school to play Dizzy all day.

Can't afford to pull sickies nuw.

I used to skip college alot like, due to hangovers n whatnot. Sometimes i'd make it there and end up finding an empty cubicle in the toilets for a kip...

I called in sick once because I hated the kids in the class I had to teach that day. Fuck 'em. Let the sub deal with it.

Lost my virginity for the second time. I'm not exactly making that up either...

My friend had died from cancer..

oh wait that actually did happen but i was treated like it was a ridiculous reason!

haha, that's true, at times. I'm an art teacher so my kids are rarely "bad". I truly love my students most of the time. But you would not believe how "bad" kids can change the dynamics of the classroom. Ya better get them under your thumb QUICK or they will eat you alive.

Hey thats a pretty neat job!

Are you a proper qualified art teacher or is it just a sort side thing?


I use to teach after school art classes to about 10 primary school kids aged from 6-12. So much fun

I'm fairly sure I've only ever called in work sick because I actually was sick..

That is ridiculous! You win!

My long term goal (one of them) is to teach 10->12 art classses, and that is a massive fear of mine. I dont actually have a real problem with jerk kids, but I still struggle with the concept of how I'd go about making the class fulfilling in some way for EVERYONE in the room.

with all this talk about bad kids, I'd like to go on the record as saying that it's been AT LEAST 14 years since I've called in sick for bullshit and almost 2 hours since I've last masturbated. you can quote me on that.
