Melting in the desert
Ok, so today I called in sick to work, and trust me, I am quite sick. But I'm sure I could have moped around work, infected every living, breathing thing around, and made the place close down for a week or two because of the epidemic I caused....but, alas, I thought it best to call in.
I started thinking, as I was laying in bed, blowing my nose for the 100th time...what great excuses (or lame excuses) I've come up in the past to skip classes or work. I have one excuse/incident that should be in the all-time Hall of Fame for Great Excuses. Here's the story:
In college, I met this girl in my physics class by the name of Mary. She and I instantly became friends. She had this quirky personality that made me laugh all the time. By the end of the semester, Mary had corrupted me into now going to class half of the time, which wasn't necessarily a bad thing since our professor didn't take roll. We had made another friend in the class who would take notes for us and keep us up-to-date on when the exams were going to be.
Mary and I knew about the end of the semester final coming up. But what we didn't know is that the professor had changed the date of the final. We found out the day before the final. Knowing we couldn't pass it without the notes from our friend, we came up with an excuse to miss it. We called the professor the day of the final to tell him we'd been in a fenderbender with another car. He told us not to worry that we could come and take the exam the next day. So, Mary and I show up the next day for the exam; she was wearing a neckbrace, and I had crutches and a moonboot on. Thank God, Mary's father is a doctor (yes, we took the neckbrace and moonboot/crutches from his office). The professor totally believed our story.
Yes, I believe this excuse will probably get me sent straight to Hell...but it also got me an A on my exam
What is your best/worst excuse you've used?
