Excuse to leave work early...
 
So tomorrow looks like its going to be the LAST nice day here in Michigan. Mostly sunny and 63... Which in my opinion is a great day on the river. I have two personal days left for the year and figure taking a half day would be worth it, which is 12noon leave time. But I've never done such a last minute leave work early excuse... You guys ever do this sort of thing?

I do it all the time! :evilb:

As long as you have the time to use, I'd say go for it! I actually did it yesterday to get one last day in.

Can't say I've ever "called in sick" or lied about where I was to go boating. Everyone just assumes if it's a nice day, I'm boating. I'd be busted within an hour!

My boss is a real tool so when I wanna go boating I put some horse tranquilizer in the coffee pot.

I never thought of roofying the boss, his secretary, sure, but never the boss.......

Personally, I never call in sick, or leave early "sick"

I just say "I won't be in" or "I have to go"
That way if some off shift Supervisor sees me, or company "bag licker" type decides to rat me out I can say "Hey, I never SAID I was sick! I just said I wouldn't be in"

One less thing to worry about getting caught in

I've met Dans boss. Mr. Mirror can be hell to deal with. Although, his other boss does show up in his Avatar sometimes lol


On the subject though lol.... I've taken off for boating days last minute.. If you have leave to burn, no reason to not use it if you want.

My situation is a bad one. Even though I AM my boss, I have an exceptionally guilty conscious....and the boat is sitting in the shop. So, if my employees simply look over and see that the boss is not there and the boat is missing, I'm sure they will know the drill.

Wait...why do I feel bad about this?

I just got to work about 30min ago... its official... its going to be 62-63 degrees and sunny all day with little to no wind. Pretty much going to just say I have a personal matter to take care of and charge me 1/2 day personal time. And you can reach me by my cell if you need me.

I think its best not to make up something i guess... something personal seems for logic and believable.
