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?

    IMO don’t do any of the cornball shit like trying to sound sick if you aren’t, and do not ask or make it sound like there is any negotiation to be had.

    Simply ask to speak to the person who needs to know and when they pick up just “Hey I’m not feeling well I will not be coming in today.” Just state it as fact.
