Excuses for missing work...

[Steve]

~ I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who
fired me for not showing up for work. Okay?

~ I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile leprosy, but I know we have that
deadline to meet...

~ I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at the Food Giant.

~ Yes, I seem to have contracted some attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how
about them Skins, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I help you? No, no,
I'll be sticking with Sprint, but thank you for calling.

~ I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come to
work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.

~ The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw
restraint so I won't bite things when I'm startled.

~ The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.

~ I prefer to remain an enigma.

~ I can't come to work today because the EPA has determined that my house is
completely surrounded by wetlands and I have to arrange for helicopter
transportation.

~ I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian.

~ I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.

~ I refuse to travel to my job until there is a commuter tax. I insist on
paying my fair share.

~ I've used up all my sick days...so I'm calling in dead.

~ I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an
hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop,
reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop only
by reversing the polarity of the power source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in the
house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times.
Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.
