If you have a girlfreind with a sweet voice ask her to call it in even if shes at work herself , if your boss has any alfa male genes which being your boss he probably does , then he,ll understand that your probably not sick but just marking your territory with her if you know what i mean , and you hit the beach contshence free

If its one day just tell the boss you are sick.

If the boss presses for dails tell them you are on porceilan bowl with a case of gastro. No one really enjoys talking about irregular bowl movements.

Pro tip: coming back from a one day sickie / carers leave with a nasty case of sunburn is not a good look

Try honesty...if it still exists in this screwed up world!?!

IMHO, if you get caught taking a sickie, and lying about it, it should be instant dismissal. (Ex-employer here btw...)

I work extra hours knowing that when I need them, I can take a 'me' break for a sail or go to kids sports, school appointments etc. When I sat in on my initial job interview, I said that this would be the case, my boss agreed to it, and as I've been honest from day one, it's never been a prob. I just call the office, let the practice manager know that the wind's up, and that I'll be back in 2-3hrs (or if it's a late arvo sail, knock-off early & generally come back in after kids in bed to make up a few hours)...easier, and lets me sleep at night knowing that all's above board.
