    Depends. If you're a woman with a male boss try either (a) period or (b) urinary tract infection. He'll just make the sign of the cross and let you go. If you're a man just say the arse is tore off you with the scours.

    Your (significant close relative) was just in a speedboating accident and might not make it through the night unless you leave at lunchtime to go on a quest to the top of Lugnaquilla for a single red rose of mystical healing powers.

    OR just eat a roll out of a Statoil and give yourself food poisoning.

    That is exactly what my kerraaaazy imagination came up with too!

    What you could do is if your boss just monitors you on a security camera then connect the camera up to old videos of you working. I got that idea from a movie I saw about a bus that had to SPEED around a city, keeping its SPEED over fifty, and if its SPEED dropped, it would explode! I think it was called "The Bus That Couldn't Slow Down."

    That doesn't work (like me), they would just say stay and use the facilities.

    That said I'm going to head at lunchtime regardless!!

    shout HOLY SHIT! and run towards the toilet, stumble a bit and fall against something upright as if you've lost all you balance. run into the toilet and repeatedly make wretching noises. emerge after a couple minutes with some water splashed on your forehead (sweat).. slowly walk back to your desk. sit and stare blankly at a wall for a while then stand and ask very politely to go home, you feel ill

    I actually did something like this after I managed to nearly scalp myself with the hand dryer picking up a fag I'd dropped in on the loo floor (classy I know), I puked in the bin and boss insisted on bringing me to the docs where I got an injection in the arse and a week off SCORE!!* :D

    *Although mybe not the same cause I was actually hurt....

    Tut tut tut, drinking on a school night is bold! Do you want to lose your job? You are heading the right way..... If i was your boss i'd make you stay to punish you!

    My job is fine thank you very much mammy!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 558 ✭✭✭wobbles-grogan


    Its only a hangover, drink some water or orange juice or something, you'll be fine!

    If you really do want to go home i have a cunning plan that works quite well.

    Ill let you know, only cos im really nice though.

    If your boss likes aniimals alot (be they a cat or dog or whatever) then tell him that you got a phone call saying your beloved dog (or cat, rat whatever) got ran over by a car! You've had him for the past 10 years, was given to you by your <cough>dead<cough> cousiin and he's your last remaining memory of your dead cousin!

    I got out of soooo much homework when i was back in school with that!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,553 ✭✭✭The Davestator


    Do a big stretch & yawn and then let out an almighty yelp and say that your after locking your arm over your head and therefore cant type.

    (you will have to keep your arm in that position 'till ya get home though)

    If you're hungover, then tough fvcking sh!t. Self inflicted, deal with it.


  • Hosted Moderators Posts: 23,254 ✭✭✭✭beertons


    Pretend you have the scuts, and turtle head came out when you were on route to the bog, and the 'turtle coughed.'

    You'll be home by 2.

    Its a hangover. Work through it.

    To be honest man I normally would but apart from the tiredness I just have no interest in being here today.

    Plus I'm going to meet my ex. Not sure if that's a good idea.

    You can't be that tired, you are able to start a thread, type a few replies...

    Go and get something to eat and tough it out for another while.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 558 ✭✭✭wobbles-grogan


    Goin to meet your ex? I dounbt internet forums are the best place to divulge this information!

    Im guessin your not gone home yet if your still posting? :)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,789 ✭✭✭✭ScumLord


    Piss your pants, a classic from the school days that's just as useful in adult life. It's a guaranteed fact you'll be asked to go home rather than having to ask them yourself.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,728 ✭✭✭dilallio


    Next time you're hungover, don't go to work.
    Pick a name from the obituaries in the Indo, call your boss and leave a message that you have to attend your 2nd cousin's <insert name> funeral. ;)

    Doesnt work--I did that a few years back and it turned out my boss knew the same person and was on his way to the funeral.Ended up having to go to a funeral for someone I didnt even know.Talk about caught by the b**lox


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 4,193 ✭✭✭Turd Ferguson


    Tell them that your head fell off and you need to go home to sow it back on. You cannot do this over the phone, it needs to be in person. If your boss brings up the fact that your head is still attatched to your body just shout "STOP SAYING I'M FAT!!!!" and run out of the office
