1. Food poisoning
And the ultimate excuse in 14 good excuses to miss work on short notice and take a day off – food poisoning! We say “ultimate” because this one is most widely used and recommended, and why wouldn’t it be? No one can trace it – you usually recover in a day or two. Hmmm, two days… Therefore, you can have a longer holiday. Secondly, it’s extremely short notice, and it can actually be planned in advance. Just make sure you sound really ill over the phone (as if you were getting ready to throw up one more time), and you’re done! Word of advice, though. In order for all these precious schemes to work, try not to use social networks too much. Sometimes a story on Instagram can cost you dearly. With that in mind, we leave you to plan your free time! Enjoy!
