      Last Friday, I played hooky.
      I told my boss I was playing hooky.
      
      He said, have fun
      
      Might do it again this week....
      
      When somebody is calling in sick to me, I never ask questions if they say they have a fever. Try working that in...

            It is exactly the right time of year to have flu-like symptoms. Take full advantage!

                     I'm right in the middle on this subject.
                     I file away the excuses I'm given, then when I want a day off for myself, I take the best one from the file and hand it up to my boss
                     
                     Or, I just say I'm going to play hooky. They seem to appreciate my frankness.

   "I have to go online and search for special lights for my cousin's/wife's/mother's/brother-in-law's Seasonal Affective Disorder."
   
   "I can't make it in today. My cousin stole my car." According to Jeff Foxworthy, this one works best if you live in a very small and very rural community.
   
   If you live in Northern Canada you could try, "My tires are frozen to the driveway." or "My battery's frozen and my car won't start." or "My neighbor was trying to help me start my car and he's frozen to my driveway."
