Current Events > What are some good reasons for work telling you to stay home today?

(+) Yeah! (+)

Not calling out, but being told not to come in. My parents are annoying and always ask what I'm doing so if they know I'm home they're gonna talk about it and wanna know why. I need a good reason because I can't just say I'm feeling sick. They'll see I'm clearly not. I drive a cab for a local company, driving around town and what not, not an NYC cab.

Air Conditioning broke and (optional) it's currently being repaired.

And there are no cars available. I've used that one before and it works. It's actually happened once where the car they gave me broke down and the only way to give me a car was to call someone in and end their shift early. I told them not to do that to someone else and I'll just come back for next shift.

Maybe I'll add that they would've had a car but someone got in an accident last night. They're always cutting it close to begin with. Heh... I like driving so it's not that bad but sometimes it's just a pain in the ass.

To be honest though, the AC not working isn't the worst problem, it still drives and if it's not that hot out it's not so bad with the windows down.
