Best get outta work to surf excuses!!!

Those conditions would make me call in days in advance haha

If it were a surprise though I'd do the gallon of milk challenge while on the phone with my boss....

 

My regular strategy=go to work when I'm sick and save all my sick days to surf.

BUT, here's my ace in the hole for a backup/if I think they're on to me...this is reserved for when you know the night before that it's gonna be firing. Get all your gear ready the night before(obviously). Wear a pair of pants you don't mind sacrificing, and bring something to change into. Go into work per usual, but skip the morning dump. After about a half hour, simply sh!t yourself, then go inform your boss that you lost control of your bowels. They HAVE to let you go 'home', no way around it, and no way could they expect you to come back. Sure, you might be the joke around work for a few days, but it's a guaranteed way out. And wear lots of sunscreen during your sesh that day.

 

I've been called to perform out of town tomorrow. ( I'm a musician) or I'm really not feeling well and dont wish to risk spreading it around. May be stomach flue. Can we reschedule? or Surf is epic tomorrow. Grab your board and go.

 

i have pink eye.

 

i've never had to lie to go surfing instead of working. i just say, "i'm leaving work early to surf" or "i'm coming in late because i'm surfing." done.

 

F@cking hilarious Seldom. I almost sh!t myself at work laughing at this post.

 

I never have to miss work to surf...the best swells always fall on the weekends so that all the a-holes from out of town can partake.

 

Thanks mang...if only there were waves and you got a chance to try this out Honestly I've yet to do it, the idea dawned on me semi-recently, but dead serious it's happening before I leave my current job, and you guys will be the first to know.

 

You know, I've been noticing this too. I mean recently, all these swells have been falling on Friday's/Saturday's, which is awesome for the working man. On the contrary, not having found work yet, I'm definitely crossing my fingers for some mid week empty line ups.

 

My problem with this excuse is that if I crapped myself and told my boss he'd make me keep working with it in my pants all day! He's a bigger lunatic than me!

 

Dude that would certainly complicate thinga and throw a monkeywrench in the plan! That'd be a long day.

 

my last real job came with a chest high and over clause. for the past 8 years I could go when ever I want. this year, none of that made a difference with no swell.

 

Is it lying if you say due to stress issues you have an emergency "therapy" session you must attend?

 

I like seldom's poop-your-pants idea... maybe eat a bunch of cheap bean burritos with extra ghost-pepper sauce to make it convincing...

I told everyone "I'm not taking any vacations this year, instead I want to save my vacation days for the fall hurricane season and just take off whenever there is crazy hurricane swell hitting"... unfortunately this did not work out so well :/

 

I just started a new job with my employer. Out of operations and into marketing, which means I can "work" remotely with some regularity. I see my mid-week surfing days going WAY UP.

So glad I won't have to shart in front of my boss.

 

I like this idea, but with my karma I would end up with a raging toothache for real.

 

i knew a guy who wanted to leave work on a friday so bad that he went into the bathroom and squirted handsoap into his eye to fake pink eye. the only problem was that no one came by his cube and "discovered" it so he had to invent some reason to go to his boss and say "does my eye look funny?" he did get out of work, though he still had soap in his eye the rest of the day

 

i just tell me boss im " going surfing." for some reason he gets a huge kick out of it, especially in the dead of winter, and thinks its awesome. granted, hes not thrilled when were super busy but i guess im one of the few people that dosent really need to b.s. the boss. In college last year however my grandma "died suddenly" conveniently on the doomsday swell. got to retake the test the next day of class. and yes my roommate gave me all the answers. double score
