Worked with a girl who, on most Mondays, would call in sick-probably hungover most times. One Monday, after an hour or so, our boss comes into our section, asks us angrily if we've seen her yet, and after a group 'no', storms back into her office, mumbling about firing this girl. A short time later, she comes back to us and announces quitely that the girl's father has died. He'd passed away in his sleep over the weekend. After that, the girl wasn't out so much and our boss wasn't so quick to anger.
