how tf do i call out of work. i never do this shit and i'm always terrified of doing it. i hate my job and would much rather do the thing with my friends tomorrow but i'm a terrible liar and have a deep seated need to be seen as doing good, even by my fucking b*ss. does anyone have any tips for how to do it?
You can call in sick without specifying what it is or sounding sick. No need for details, in fact it would be discouraged. "hey boss, sorry but I am afraid I have to call in sick. I'll most likely be available as usual next blabla" thats it
unless they need a doctors note.
otherwise "private emergency". Could be anything and if you keep it general it should be understood that asking about details would be prying.
Dont know how cool your boss is though, but "private emergency" means you aren't taking a sick day so its unpaid, on the other hand it might be outside of your work contract.
