Dear Co-irker, (lazy ass attempt for calling in late)

Yeah hi,

We know you work on our team but you are the hermit of the group. No one ever sees you or hears from you beyond you clocking in at the door. You don't participate in anything we do as a team and you go to your car in the parking garage everyday and sit there for lunch. We know you're odd but are willing to overlook it because you are good at what you do.

This morning you called in late because "there is fog somewhere in Houston". You don't even live in Houston. There is no fog around the office building. We all managed to make it here and so can you. Bring your happy ass in to the office, we have reports that need to be finished and sent to the DA's office for upcoming trials.

Hugs and kisses,
~me

P.S. Please think of a far less lame excuse for calling in late than "fog". No one is buying it. Even our Lt. laughed at this when she hung up the phone. So when you hear snickering as you walk to your cube....yeah it's us.

 

**Have you ever heard some lame excuses for co-workers calling in late or sick?

    Calling in because of FOG???? HAHAHAHAHA I'd hate to see your co-worker here in Ontario with 2 ft of snow. Nevermind, they would probably call in with 3 snowflakes hitting the ground.

    Today I drove to work in freezing rain AND fog. And apparently it's supposed to flash freeze as the temps drop, along with snow tonight.

    lol... so sorry! I worked with a girl who kept calling in sick saying she was in the hospital on IV drips of antibiotics and then would show up the next day just fine with no hint of pneumonia or whatever she was saying it was that time. I had it out with my boss over her many times. Anyway.... I'm the boss now and I don't put up with that bs! Tell the truth about why you can't or don't want to come and you'll get a better response. IE: I want to stay home and go to the fair today- as long as there aren't things that HAVE to be done that day- GO FOR IT!
