erm.. i don't really know what to tell you otehr then it's YOUR job... it's not school... you can call in and say "i don't feel like coming in today, i've got the serious shits and this dude just showed up with an 8-ball..." and there's not really anything they can do short of firing you (with school you'd face legal complications)....

if i wanted off that bad, (depending on the job) i'd just tell them i'm taking hte day off.... i see people (through my wife's work, and when i worked at sonic, and johnny carinos) telling the bosses all the time they're taking hte day off.... the boss wasn't happy, but i never see anyoen get fired for it.... bosses have other ways of retaliation... giving you the shittiest assignments, hardassing you (breathing down your neck), shorting your hours... etc etc.... firing isn't the only thing bosses do to workers they're not happy with ya know...
slipknotpsycho Reviewed by slipknotpsycho on . How can I skip work? I want to go to the global marijuana march on May 5th, but I have work. I have work tomorrow from 10AM to 6PM. I also live with my parents. I've also asked at work if I could have May 5th off, and I told my pothead coworker that I wanted to go to the march. So the problems with calling in sick are: Never done it before People at work know I want that day off One guy knows that I want to go to the marijuana march Parents will know I'm perfectly healthy Rating: 5
