One of my most treasured job duties is taking the "sick" calls from my co-workers. Sure there is the usual - over dramatic sick calls, but here is my favorite.
Co-Worker: I am sick.
Jennifer: OK, see you tomorrow.
Co-Worker: Well actually, I am not really sick. (uncertain pause) I washed my shoes last night and they are still wet.
Jennifer: UM. So many things to say, excuse my laughter.
1. I love that you cannot tell a lie.
2. Maybe you should have lied. That excuse is very lame.
3. WHY don't you own more than 1 pair of shoes?
I think we'll buy him tennis shoes for christmas.

This is ingenious! I will try to use this on my boss and see how it goes over. And again, another example of how your job is WAY more entertaining than mine.
