I want something new, besides the ol' "I have a cold," or "My head hurts," or "I have food poisoning."
Anyone got any new brilliant ideas that would cover me for 2 days?

Just to clarify, my not going in will not cause anymore work for any of my co-workers. My work will just be waiting for me on Monday.
I do NOT call in sick alot, I just wanted to be creative, and spend time with a loved one who will be off work those days. :)
Just wanted to be creative.

Well I can relate to your situation lol If you have a cell phone or something you could call and say your car or your friends car broke down out of town and your stuck there for a day or two and you will try to get to work as soon as possible. Or you can have a friend or relative call your boss and tell him/her that your in jail for a couple of days because you were an innocent bystander in a club brawl and a drunken women falsely accused you of beating up her boyfriend and you had bail denied so your stuck there for 2 days until the judge gets back into town. Hope these give you some good ideas good luck !

here are some that i have used
1. pink eye. clears up within a few days. if you want added insurance then when you come back to work touch your eye with your finger and rub it around some to make it all red. it burns a little but hey, its better than losing your job. plus its so contagious noone will want to be near you.
2. my roomate is collapsed outside my door screaming and holding her stomach. i have to take her to the hospital as she does not have a car and her parents are M.I.A. when you come back tell them her appendix ruptured but they removed it and she is doing well
3. i was jogging and a bug flew in my eye. it started burning really bad and i couldnt get it out. i went to the doctor and they said it was behind my eye so they had to get it out and now i cant see they reccomended bedrest. (i didnt actually use this one, my co-worker did) i though it was kind of dumb but it actually worked.
4. tried and true is the good old im puking and/or had diahrrea so bad i cant leave the bathroom. or something else contagious like strep or flu. as long as they dont ask for a doctors note
hey, you wanted creative

1. Call in dead.
2. Say you had a jello bath w/ opposite sex and you are all green.

You said you didn't call in sick often, everyone needs a "skip" day now and then, no biggie especially if it doesn't effect others doing your work. Maybe next time, you could give them a little notice and say you have family coming to town that you haven't seen for eons and would really like to spend a day or two with them.

As a manager, the most creative excuse I was ever given for calling off was head lice. (Who is going to ask you to prove that????? )
This guy (18-20ish) called in & said that his sister was sent home from school with lice & that they had found some in his hair also. He needed the time off to get himself cleaned up as well as helping his parents wash all the sheets,blankets, spray down the furniture, etc. After being totally grossed out, we all felt really sorry for him...UNTIL his mom came into our work & one of the girls asked how things were going with the lice...needless to say, his cover was blown & his mom was mortified. BUT if we hadn't seen his mom, he would have totally gotten away with it.

Explosive diarrhea that led to horrible, huge, bleeding hemorrhoids. You can't even sit down ... you have to lie (get it? "lie" Ha! Ha!) And you have to take tepid sitz baths every 20 minutes. You are SOOO sorry, but there's no way you can make it for a couple of days. (You can even get a note from your doctor on this if necessary, because if you call the doctor's for it, they won't ask to SEE it, they'll just tell you what cream to get at the drug store and prescribe the sitz baths. They'll be happy to cough up the note if you tell them you need it for work, and your loved one can drop by and pick it up.) Be sure to walk just a tiny a bit gingerly on Monday. And at lunch, say, "No steak burrito for me today, thanks. I'm still on a soft diet."

The best thing to do is call and say that a close aunt/cousin has died don't say your mother/father because you don't want them to come to the funeral! And make sure that you say it's out of town, but not too far only about an hour drive.

How about just saying that you're not feeling well. The less specific, the better.
You should get a new job if you need to pretend that you are sick all the time to keep from going.

Stomach virus. It kept a coworker out for about that long. But be at home in case your boss calls to check on you. Or if you dont answer, call them back later and say that you were on the pot.

I'm waiting for the contractor to come and fix the AC.
It's not a sick excuse, but it works for multiple days and you don't need a doctor's note.
I love my job, but sometimes I need those mental health days off.
