Certainly. How about "I can't come to work because I'm going kitesurfing."? Totally believable

a couple of things i learnt the hard way when i was an apprentice-

make sure you wear plenty of sunscreen; nothing worse than coming back to work with a burnt face after being "too sick to make it in"

never call in sick long distance, the STD beeps are a dead giveaway

always wash the passout stamps off your wrist before going back to work after a sickie

scotch stays on your breath for days

dont get injured on the water during a sickie

"I was on my way in, but I had to rescue a baby from a burning house, and I got burning baby all over my uniform, so I went home to get changed, but it's wash day, so I didn't have another clean uniform, and I know I can't come in without the correct uniform on, so by the time I washed and dried and ironed another uniform, it was quitting time anyway, so I didn't bother coming in."

Or....."I got really bent last night, then I got really hungry in the middle of the night, so I went through the cupboard in the dark and ate a whole box of laxettes, 'cause it was dark and I couldn't see, so now have explosive diarrhoea, but I haven't got any imodium, and it's so bad that I can't get to the chemist and home again without ****ting myself, and I know this because I've tried 5 times already, so I don't have any clean uniforms left, and I know I can't come in without the correct uniform......."

You just have to be imaginative

Just tell your boss you got a bad case of hemorrhoids. He/she ain't gonna want to know anymore about it!

KB topic is not "how to get the sack and your head punched in on the same day by your boss"

That would be good though, I'm just imaging the expression on his face now

A quick search of the net and you can find some less than common sydromes that have actually been described in reputable medical journals. Here's a weeks worth below...

"Beer Drinker's Finger: Swelling, bluish discoloration and wasting of finger caused by placing beer-can rings on finger." (JAMA, 1968)

"Christmas depression: Psychological stress during the holidays, related to the use of alcohol and to social pressures." (JAMA, 1982)

"Flip-flop Dermatitis: Skin disease of the feet from wearing rubber flip-flops." (British Medical Cooperative Journal, 1965)

"Motorway Blues: The sort of headaches noted by drivers on congested motorways (British Medical Cooperative Journal, 1963)

"Television legs: Loss of normal flexibility of the legs from being slumped in front of the box for too long." (JAMA, 1958)

Oh, I almost forgot the classic sickie phone call...

You: I am not coming in to work today, I am sick.

Boss: You sound healthy enough, just how sick are you?

You: Well, I am at home r**ting my sister, you don't get much sicker than that!


PS: This one only works in mainland Australia

Tell the boss you sprained youre ankle and cant come into work for a couple of days. Only problem is that when you do show up at work is the hassle of faking a limp on youre still tender ankle. Dont worry cause there is a solution. Tape a small sharpish pebble to youre heel then put youre shoes on and you will have a convincing limp for as long as required.
