What Day Shall I Call In Sick
I will call in sick on Monday. It is Monday after all.
No. Too obvious.
I shall call in sick on Tuesday.
Cannot this Tuesday though, paperwork is due.
I will definitely call in sick on Wednesday.
That is my least favorite day because we stay for a boring meeting, an extra hour. Better not. This is a pattern the boss might recognize.
Thursday? No good. I have a meeting all day.
This will be a fantastic time to write poetry, cartoon, and meet new friends.
Friday? That would be silly. We only work 7.5 hours and we have a weekend.
No one believes anyone is ever really sick on a Friday any way.
Here is a novel idea.
Why not save these sick days for times I really am sick?
