    Dumb boss excuses, REALLY!

    I have a boss who will makeup anything just to have a off day. Example, She and Her family the night before, all were in the family van. The Boss was driving (this is her excuse) She called the office the next morning and said she can't come in today because when she was driving, the car behind her of course had their headlights on and the lights were shining into the front mirror into her eyes and now her eyes were hurting. This was a first we heard of such, for the rest of the Girls in the office. If this could happen more people would be calling off. She is soooo stupid. anyway this is a start of many more I will be sharing.

    Reply: The boss took a half a day because a pimple on her back was hurting. She already left early because a small ant was in the bathroom and it had bit her(like anyone was going to see that one). She accually had showed the rest of us her one hand saying it has swelled. Not one of us can tell the difference only that it was red. Anyone can make any part of the body red by smacking or rubbing hard, She went home early. Not to mention that if any of these early days off was to take her to the Doctors, there was ALWAYS a Doctor followup, that was the following week. She then had a whole day off. secret

    Reply: Our Boss was off this pass monday because her and her son were sick. She and Her son are off almost every monday. She comes in on tuesday and goes on about she should of died for how sick she was. She should of died almost every weekend since she is off sick on most mondays, her and her son from school. What this is about is having a long weekend. Every week she misses one day a week, mostly monday and if not monday it will be friday. secret
