that's how my workplace/supervisor is too.
it's like mind your own ****ing business already.

also. an STD is a good excuse. tell them you think you've got the herp and then proceed to describe in great detail the size and color of the rash you've developed. they'll stop asking questions.

**** man, you shoulda pmed me straight away. COME ON USE YOUR BRAIN.

i would've said
'hi it's discolexy - i'm sorry but i'm not coming into work today - i will call you this afternoon to let you know how i feel for tomorrow'.

THE ENEMY: 'what's wrong'

discolexy 'i really don't feel well enough to come in.'

dial tone.

the enemy..haha.

what do you say to someone who wants you to make a website
but they have crappy taste and you don't really want to do it
but told them you would in the beginning before you realized they
were just using you and not allowing creative input?

You tell them to **** OFF! I did that for a film because the chick is a fkn nightmare to work with.

Disco, you just need to tell them that you're not coming in. AHAH See you tomorrow.

Cause that's the law. If you call in & say you're sick, you're employer isn't allowed to ask why. 'Medical/Health' issues are 'personal'. You don't have to divulge that you are ****ting fire or your herpes have made an appearance again.

Personally, I just send an e-mail saying, 'I won't be in today.'
