How do you call in sick to work?
This is the message I e-mailed to my supervisor this morning:
To whom it may concern:
Due to forces beyond my control, I find myself trapped, in a metaphorical sense, and unable to man my post in the war to bring order to chaos in the world of telescope design. I shall return Monday to fight the good fight yet again.
Peace out, yo.
Fortunately, the place I work at now doesn't really want an excuse, they just want to be notified of absense. But in the past (at other jobs) I've taken "mental health" days off by claiming physical illness. On a planet inhabited by 6 billion people (give or take), I suspect I'm not the only one.
So how do you call in sick to work? Do you fake cough? Do you try to make your voice sound weak? When faking sick do you find it helps to limp around the house holding your stomach in an attempt to get "in character"?
Please, share with the group.
