Need a good excuse for calling into work. Any Ideas?

Question

This is the first time I am going to call in since I started working there six months ago.

Answer 1

if you are sick, say so. if you have other valid reason, say that.

if you are just goofing off, GO TO WORK!

Answer 2

Just say that you can not come in today.  Refuse to say why.  Just say you can not. Then you don't have to keep lying in the future. /

Answer 3

If it's not the next work day and you're willing to take it as a vacation day, tell them you need the day off for some personal business. You don't have to say more than that.

If you want to take off the day without warning or want to use sick time, and it'll only be 1-2 days off, just tell them you're not feeling well but expect to be in the next day. You don't have to say more unless they push for details. Then you can say one of these:

"If it's okay, I'd rather not go into it."

"Monster headache."

"I'm having some bad back pain."

"I'm not sure, I'm just a little dizzy and my stomach's queasy."

"Something I ate must have disagreed with me, because I'm in the bathroom every few minutes."
