Help with time off work!

I need a really good 100% bulletproof excuse to take 5 days off work.

Any suggestions now matter how crazy or ridiculous they may seem?

Tell 'em you're having a vasectomy.


They're not too likely to ask to see the scars!!

Tell them you've got a part in a nursery rhyme:

Solomon Grundy,

Born on Monday,

Christened on Tuesday,

Married on Wednesday.

Sick on Thursday,

Worse on Friday,

Died on Saturday,

Buried on Sunday,

That was the end

Of Solomon Grundy.

any specifics are between you and your GP, a self cert lasts for 7 days before you need a line. As long as its not a regular occurrence.

Alternatively ask for unpaid leave, most employers will do it.

Taken off boxhill site:

I urgently needed a few days off from a company I work for in New York, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted "CRAZY" then he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises.

My co-worker, (who's a New Zealander), asked me what I was doing?

I told him that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?" I told him I was a light bulb.

He said, "You are clearly stressed out, go home and recuperate for a couple of days".

I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker, (the New

Zealander) followed me, the Boss asked him "...And where do you think you're going?"

He said, "I'm going home too bro , I can't work in the dark
