12 Valid reasons not to come to work

By
Managing Real Estate Broker with CORE Realty (The Watz Team)

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

2. When I got up this morning, I took two Ex-lax in addition to my Prozac.
I can't get off the john, but I feel good about it.    

3. My mother-in-law has come back as one of the Undead and we must track 
her to her coffin to drive a stake through her heart and give her eternal 
peace. One day should do it.


4. 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.

5. If it is all the same to you I won't be coming in to work. The voices told me to clean all the guns today.

6. I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile leprosy, but I know we have
that deadline to meet....
 
 7. I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at Tom Thumb.
 
 8. 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.


 9. Constipation has made me a walking time bomb.
 
 10. 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.
 
 11. The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me 
  this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I am startled.


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

So... although I'm guessing a humerous post... it does contain a valid point. We need to be at the office working. Even though some are "slow," progress isn't made laying around picking your nose ;)

It seems old age gets us all in the end.  Also lost my sisters horse last year.  I was caring for him because she had moved to NE.  He was 33 years old and died of a heart attack.  It's like loseing a member of your family.  THanks for asking my friend. :)
