Hey Larry’s JOTW #102

Authors Note:

I feel that I must apologize for the tardiness of my JOTW. Due to a not so unforeseen event, thanks to a co worker that decided that today is a good day to do something other than get paid for performing a service or duty. If you detect a hint of sarcasm, then allow me to explain my side of this matter.

How many times can one person call in sick, or can’t come to work because…….?

One example that comes to mind is the unfortunate amount of family members that are at death’s door or the funeral that is a must attend all in the span of thirty days. With that in mind, here are some of the lamest excuses for not making it in to work.

1. An employee had to attend the funeral of his wife’s cousin’s pet, because he was an uncle and pallbearer.

2. An employee said that someone glued her doors and windows shut so she couldn’t leave the house to come to work.

3. An employee’s false teeth flew out the window while driving down the highway.

4. An employee caught their uniform on fire by putting it in the microwave to dry.

5. An employee woke up in a good mood and didn’t want to ruin it. ( This excuse should actually be a top contender, but I think seldom used. )

6. An employee was blocked in by police raiding her home.

7. An employee called in sick from a bar at 5:00 p.m. the night before. ( This is more common than most people realize.)

8. An employee has to take his pet turtle to visit the exotic animal clinic.

9. An employee said their mother-in-law wouldn’t stop talking. ( Married people need to speak up on this matter.)

10. An employee thought the sunrise was so beautiful that they had to stop and take it in. ( Also known as the George Harrison defense )

...at least your excuse today is better than two years ago when you claimed to
have run out of T.P and had to wait until the weekly flyers arrived on Thursday.

I don't think anyone believed you then either.

...I took a poll here at USM and you have been voted Corporal Klinger of the Month.

Next time remember...your mother and sister are both pregnant AND dying, your favorite
uncle has just been killed in an avalanche and your long-lost brother has managed to get
himself lost again.

  
Date: 10/1/2022 2:57:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    I wasn’t about to use the porcupine that are native to the area, I think you’re the type that counts every sheet per roll anyway.  
Date: 10/1/2022 2:59:00 PM  From Authorid: 55251    I hope these 10 excuses were not taken from your file in human resources...  
Date: 10/1/2022 3:03:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Hey, Klinger was far more original than most. Why there’s this one person who claimed that his grandmother died on several different “ call in “ occasion's. When asked by the H.R. manager about that his response was that his grandmother was a devout Christian who believed in the resurrection…..  
Date: 10/1/2022 3:08:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Why no Morphix, uh my excuses tend to be more believable. For example, I had to stay home to look after my pet goldfish that wasn’t feeling well.  
Date: 10/1/2022 6:14:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry Man, can I ever relate to that. When I had a day job, when I could, I would schedule my vacation after my four day shifts (Mon thru Thursday) so that I could add Friday, Saturday and Sunday (scheduled days off) to the vacation that would start on the following Monday. I mean, why not? Who wouldn't want three extra days? I was scheduled off anyway, right?

So, picture this, if you will: It's a half hour to quitting time on Thursday afternoon and kronk is all set to haul it. Then, the phone rings and "the superintendent" informs our hero that "Mr. X" just called in and demanded "emergency vacation." Mr. X" is scheduled to work the nightshift Friday, Saturday and Sunday night. "The Superintendent" informs kronk that he is the "only" person to cover the job and kronk must work all three night shifts. Ugh!

Rather than start vacation early, kronk will not get off until 0600 of the day that he actually starts his vacation, thereby wasting one whole day of said vacation to sleep..

Later, kronk hears "Mr. X" bragging to his cronies about the great time he had at the rodeo on that same weekend. That's when I started keeping a journal and documenting all such things, for when people like "Mr. X" wanted to trade shifts, or some such. When "they" asked me "WHY" I wouldn't help them out, I pulled out my journal and you should have seen the jaws drop.

"L.D."---Wow! That was rather cold and calculating.

kronk---Sometimes, it's necessary.

  
Date: 10/1/2022 6:23:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry Then there was old "so and so." This guy hired on and was tardy, or absent for 189 days, out of 365. When "they" finally fired him, we did a little
calculating and found that he had 13 grandmothers and 22 grandfathers; 14 mother and father in laws, and 8 former spouses. All who had passed during the
course of the year, necessitating three day funeral leave.

When "they" fired him, he was aghast and demanded arbitration. He lost.
  
Date: 10/1/2022 6:33:00 PM  From Authorid: 21435    Hey Larry "L.D." here: My favorite is #6.

kronk---I guess that's better than missing work because she was abducted by aliens.

"L.D."---The director of personnel saw her at the county fair on that day.

kronk---Then she adjusted her statement to; "I was abducted by aliens and released towards the end of the shift I missed, but it was too late to go to work, so I
went to the fair, instead".

"L.D."---It could happen.

kronk---Yeah, and I could really be "Elon Musk," slumming as a penniless blue crab fisherman.
  
Date: 10/1/2022 6:33:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    LOL Kronk! That just covers the old saying about Karma be a…you know what. It’s good to keep a track record of repeat offenders that have no concept of others that have a life as well. And sometimes it is necessary.  
Date: 10/1/2022 6:34:00 PM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    No kidding. It just goes to show you that Hekler will try anything to get out of work while getting a paycheck….  
Date: 10/2/2022 11:13:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...I should have known that replying to this post would be like going
for a walk through a doggy park and not paying attention to my footing.

It never gets more pleasant.

  
Date: 10/2/2022 11:27:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Well then next time put rubber galoshes on and try picking up after yourself……  
Date: 10/2/2022 11:35:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...I haven't been here long enough to make a mess.
It was already here before the first reply.

  
Date: 10/2/2022 11:36:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Stop doing a “ Donald” and take responsibility for your actions.  
Date: 10/2/2022 11:42:00 AM  From Authorid: 5301    

...this post isn't real.

  
Date: 10/2/2022 11:48:00 AM  ( From Author ) From Authorid: 5940    Fox News is being sued … think long and hard about that.
