This morning I was a little later than usual coming in to work (if the bosses are reading this: not late to work, just later than usual). On any other day, that would mean I don't get a seat on the train and have to ride in someone's armpit for 40 minutes. But, this is one of those weird weeks where a big old holiday falls right in the middle of the work week. And, since traffic seemed non-existent today, too, I'm guessing we're seeing the start of a six day weekend here (again bosses: I don't mean HERE here, just here in general). Sadly, I won't be "working" from home this week, or calling in "sick." But, what about the rest of you... Any plans to play hooky for the remainder of the week (or suggestions of good excuses to tell the bosses? Bosses: just kidding)?

I'm in summer school and the holiday makes for an awkward week for me as well. I had a midterm today and then a day off and then finals for the summer on Friday! Unfortunately, I will be using the lovely day off to study for my yucky finals.
When you just NEED another day off--
If you have a boss who does not believe in "mental" sick days, one must be inventive--especially if you're a bad liar. It's best to claim a malady that discourages in-depth interrogation (and requires no fake cough or sore throat). I find that claiming food poisoning and on-going diarrhea eliminates all potential for follow-up questions.
