Job interview - need an excuse to miss work

[Shantz My Pants]

The car issues one has been a go to a few times for me. Usually I have a flat tire or dead battery. Though I haven't had to use that in years it does work.

I don't get paid much but I need to keep this job until I get something better. We are barely getting by as it is now.
It's hard to convey how bad it is there and the crap I'd get by missing a half day without a legit reason.

Sounds like somebody there needs to realize that shit can't always conveniently happen on the weekends.

That's why I'd take the personal day approach and if they ask further tell them that it's a private family matter. Anything else and you run the risk of having to prove yourself.

You should tell them you're interviewing for another job because you aren't happy with your current one.

I was going to suggest the same

Have your wife call you in dead. If you don't get the job go to work on Monday and tell them you got better over the weekend.

I never understood the car issue thing. What kind of idiot can't figure out how to get to work if they are having problems with their car?

I tried that when I worked at a bbq place (their slogan was 'nobody beats our meat'). I was 17, hungover, and told my boss my car wouldn't start. So he drove over and picked me up. Prick

I pulled this one before. I was in California working the late shift at some liquor store in the valley and got a job offer in Seattle. I was gonna give about a week notice, but the bossman their was such an insufferable ****** that I kept my mouth shut.

The day I was to hop the bus up north...I had this girl I knew call up the liquor store all crying and said I got hit by a drunk driver that jumped onto the sidewalk and died on my to the hospital.

Funny part is...they still mailed out a check for my last three days there. Would have loved to seen the look on his face when he got the receipt that a dead man cashed his check 400 miles away.

You'd be surprised how often it worked.
