icegirl Posted July 31, 2004 Share Posted July 31, 2004 I ran out of dog food, and i had to get to the pet store to get their correct food, or they'd get, uhm, upset doggy tummies... They let me out two hours early.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ClimbingGirl33 Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Oh the pressure:  I did exclaim once that I would spontaeniously combust if I didn't get away from my computer but for the most part my "excuses" are simple and lame:  Migraine coming on Have to get some work done on my car  What can I say, I am also a firm believer in the "mental health day."

cj001f Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 I find the simple, classic "I've got to leave early today" usually the best. Â I once used this to go fishing - while I was out, 1/3 of my company was laid off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gotterdamerung Posted August 1, 2004 Share Posted August 1, 2004 Why make excuses? Be honest. This was my approach when I quit MS. "Thanks for allowing me to work here in your cyber saltmine, but I quit. I'm going ice climbing." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
