You're just not being creative enough! Take your first excuse example, simply working the word 'explosive' into the description will bring about an amazing reaction from the employer, a shaking of the head as they inform you that that is enough information, and come back when you are better.
Not sure about the second one though.... probably a complete falsehood is the only way to shine that one up.....
I have used both excuses in the past (the first one more than a few times), I'm just an honest guy like that.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
So you're basically saying I should pay her this time but make it clear that next time she'll need to choose between hard cash and her sick child.
Yeah. I'd come to that conclusion too.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Does she not have any personal leave time?

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
@manker: it's the law, so yes :dabs:
If it were up to me, we'd start off any interview by asking if they have children, especially women, cos they are the worst, and just stop there if the answer is yes. Cos fuck covering for someone who's gone every other week, like some.
My next question would be if they really have any decent computer skills. If it's a woman

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
The third would be 'are you sure'?
'cos we've had some derplings.
'hay, snee. Wat is a server?'ffs

I want some notice for that kind of thing.
I usually let them rush off to the doctors when some accident has befallen their offspring or w.e. but I've got stuff that won't just photocopy itself.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
@ snee
Yeah they didn't have kids when I employed them. You get a year off if you have kids, if you're a woman. ffs. a year.
And when they have them, they are entitled to reduced hours and all sorts.
None of the hawt burds who work here have computer skillz, which is a good thing as if they did, they might actually be able to find out what I'm downloading and stuff :ermm:

I've never had this before :eyebrow:
It's not like he will get better any quicker if she doesn't go to work and ... well ... I've had to make my own cawfee once already today and I've even answered the phone.
I'll address this question to those of you who aren't unemployable doletards: what would your employer do in this situation? Is a sick child a valid reason for time off work?
It's a lose:lose for you. If you go back and forth with her and ultimately make her come in, you're the asshole. If you give her the day off for the sick kid (which is prolly bs) you've been had.
On the other hand, you can tell her what I always tell mine - If you're too sick to come to work, bring a dr's note to me when you return. That forces them to make a different decision. 1) Waste the day that they wanted off by having to go to the dr, plus the cost of the dr visit, or 2)sucking it up and getting to work. But I still have grown adults that will call in and say "I have diarrhea and I can't come in". :dabs:
As for what my employer would do? Laugh and tell me I better not be late. As a management person, it's well known that you just don't call in. Anything short of strep throat and you better be at work.

Make a note of it, and hold it against them. That's what my employer would do.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Thought of an idea for a TV show.
Gonna get four pikeys and starve them to an emaciated degree, put them in a boxing ring each attached to re-enforced elastic bands at each corner, put about six turnips in the centre of the ring, and cheer for my favourite as the hilarity ensues.
Gonna call it 'Hungry Hungry Gippos'.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Today I shall be mostly getting rat-arsed drunk and wopped while listening to The Pogues at volume in patriotic tribute to my spastic countrymen.
It's five to nine in the am. I shall be foregoing breakfast and lurching straight for the vino rouge. I expect, nay demand to be experiencing the cheerful agony of hiccoughs before the afternoon.

Went to the mall to by an impulse gift for someone, only because I want to use it a little first. Stopped by the Orange Julius for a taste of nostalgia.

I have two things to say: is that a real and actual photo taken with your fair hand? If so I'd like to comment upon your choice of kitchen-ware. Also, I just looked at the filename of the said photo - am I to take it that the drink is concentrated.

1. Yes, and what kitchenware?
2. I use weird filenames primarily for my own amusement and secondarily to see if anyone is paying attention. As for the secondary motive, Squeams is the first, you are the second (if anyone's keeping count).

Your gran has got some funky condiments.

@manker, not condiments. Old sake and baijiu flasks.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Ooh, more background stuff to comment upon.
I'd appreciate it if you posted a non-blurry photo though. Perhaps an unedited one too so that your readers can see more of the area.
The text on that cup is unreadable and who knows what others important insights your slap-happy presentation has curtailed.

Re: Last one to post wins the internets
Also; I've no idea what sake or baijiu is but I'm pretty sure that further analysis will back up my condiment assertion.

You're so flippin' greedy, aren't you? I haven't been presented any incentives to oblige, and it's near my home departure time. So moving cropped photo is all you get (one of my reasons for cropping and resizing images is to save some room for my allotted attachment space).

True question. I had no idea.
I'll provide you with some allurement. Provide a better pic and I'll ... ummm ... post a pic of something of your choosing that's in my office :unsure:

Sake is what happens to slow quarterbacks and baijiu is a stringed instrument favoured by hillbillies.
