I usually tell them straight up that I'm not working but once in a while I make a little cough or maybe say something like "I have a wicked head cold". Since I work in the health field they can't really insist I show up and risk making patients sick.
One supervisor told me "darn, we really need you today" and I was thinking "screw you pal, I'm going fishing".
13. I'm a stay at home mom. I don't get to phone-in sick. BUT.....
when I was out in the work force, I definitely made myself sound worse than I actually felt.
And if you really want a day off...tell them you have the stomach flu. That'll get you a pass every time. Nobody wants to catch the stomach flu from you.
