• (Todays): I'll be in late on Thursday because I'm taking the SUV to the dealership to have some work done before we go on vacation - I'll be in around 10.
• Doctor's appointment
• Husband's doctor appointment
• Refinancing the house and have to go sign the paperwork (partially true as we were in the process, but didn't have to sign paperwork until like 7 pm)
• Have to go pick the kid up from school, she's running a fever
• I've also just taken the day off for nefarious "personal reasons"
• I've also just planned them on days when my boss was out and just left my out-of-office message as "in a meeting"

What lies have you told to get out of work? Did they work?
