What's a good sickie excuse?

November 3rd 2006 00:07
I woke up this morning and I was still tired, I was definately contemplating a sickie. I think I have 1 left before the end of this year. I was thinking I should use it up. Then I thought, "Oh man, what the hell am I going to tell my boss?"

Sickie excuses are the worst. I mean, fair enough if you're genuinley sick, but if you want to chuck a sickie cause you're still recovering from a night of drinking, you surely arent going to tell your boss that! I always have this dilemma about what I am going to say and how I am going to sound. Morning voice is always a good thing cause you sound croaky! But then what

You know what really disgusts me the most? People being unthoughtful and just smelling like B.O on trains. Especially in the afternoon when you are trying to have a relaxing train ride home, then all of a sudden you get someone sitting next to you that smells like one day old kebab with extra onions and garlic sauce! Sometimes I think, "Man, should I freaking say something to this guy?" and yes, its usually a guy! And to make matters worse its usually a guy in a shirt and tie!!!

I get up just in time to have a shower, get dressed do my hair and makeup, feed the cat and maybe have half a glass of juice in the morning. I give myself about 40-50 mins for all those morning tasks, depending if I have a snooze in or not.

My makeup consists of moisturiser, eye shadow, mascara blush and lipgloss. I also use an eyelash curler for my stumpy little lashes. Takes me about 10 mins to put on all of the above. If I have no time then its cool, I put my hair up in a pony then rush to the station looking like I just woke up.

I get on the train at one of those stations that isnt a main stop so my train is rarely ever packed, so people usually get a seat. If I catch the 8:17 train, there are a few couples that get on the train. These couples are in their mid 30s. I think its cute that they can walk to the station together and catch the train. Once on the train they usually read or talk quietly amongst themselves. Of course there are a few exceptions...

There is this one couple, probably late 20s, both kinda daggy, kinda nerdy. The guy looks like Dilbert and the girl, well, she doesnt look like a girl...They get on at the stop after me. When I'm "lucky" enough, they sit in the same carriage as me. Instead of being embarrassed or caring about what other people are thinking, these two make out on the train. 'm not freaking talking about "Home and Away" type PG kissing. Im talking saliva and tongue and all of that stuff involved in "Making out". When I saw it for the first time I was like "For Fucks Sake, dont you get any at home? Do you want me to throw up my breakfast?"

Look, I can be daggy when it comes to work clothes. Im lucky I work in a place where I can wear anything. Sometimes thats cool cause I can rock up in jeans and sneakers, no makeup and no one cares!

Getting to work at times is such a dilemma especially when you live in Sydney and have to catch public Transport to work. Driving to work is a total night-mare here. Petrol costs, accidents, cranky drivers and then you have to pay for parking! Get out!!!

So another day on the train, and yes, they are stuffed! Thanks cityrail ) Ended up being half an hour late to work. Living in the shire isn’t as wonderful as they say! During this train ride, I managed to get myself a seat in the vestibule area. At the next stop, the train was getting a little bit squishy. There was an older lady standing next to me, so I thought, I'll do my good deed for the day and give up my seat.
