I need an excuse. I can't tell the truth because I will get fired and I need my job to pay bills, eat, etc.

I'm not lazy nor am I trying to make an excuse. I did lose my phone so I didn't call in personally myself. It would not be right to have someone else do it for me. They wouldn't want to hear that sh*t.

Get to work. Your boss could wisen up to your lie. Don't risk getting fired.

Excuses To Give When You Have Missed Work
~ I can't come in to work today because I'll be stalking my previous boss, who fired me for not s showing up for work. Okay?
~ I have a rare case of 48-hour projectile leprosy, but I know we have that deadline to meet...
~ I am stuck in the blood pressure machine down at the Food Giant.
~ Yes, I seem to have contracted some attention-deficit disorder and, hey, how about them Skins, huh? So, I won't be able to, yes, could I help you? No, no, I'll be sticking with Sprint, but thank you for calling.
~ I just found out that I was switched at birth. Legally, I shouldn't come to work knowing my employee records may now contain false information.
~ The psychiatrist said it was an excellent session. He even gave me this jaw restraint so I won't bite things when I'm startled.
~ The dog ate my car keys. We're going to hitchhike to the vet.
~ I prefer to remain an enigma.
~ I can't come to work today because the EPA has determined that my house is completely surrounded by wetlands and I have to arrange for helicopter transportation.
~ I am converting my calendar from Julian to Gregorian.
~ I am extremely sensitive to a rise in the interest rates.
~ I refuse to travel to my job until there is a commuter tax. I insist on paying my fair share.
~ I've used up all my sick days...so I'm calling in dead!
~ I set half the clocks in my house ahead an hour and the other half back an hour Saturday and spent 18 hours in some kind of space-time continuum loop, reliving Sunday (right up until the explosion). I was able to exit the loop only by reversing the polarity of the power source exactly e*log(pi) clocks in the house while simultaneously rapping my dog on the snout with a rolled up Times. Accordingly, I will be in late, or early.
All of the above from the first link listed below.

Apparently, your job is not that important to you. If it were, you would do all you can to get there instead of looking for an excuse to get out of work.
Re: Additional Comments...Your lack of phone is not an excuse. You could have borrowed a phone or at least found a pay phone.

1) you are dead
2) you are bleeding from *whatever*
3) start looking for different type of work
4) get shot by someone (please don't :) )
there really, really are not any 'good' excuses. If you work people expect you to be on time, there, ready to do the job!
If you are not *wanting* to work, quit.
And it's tough, but you imply that -you- put yourself in this fix.

If I were in your position, I would simply say I had a family emergency; you aren't required to give details. But I wouldn't make this a habit. STAY OUT OF TROUBLE!

there is no good excuse for "not showing up to work". you should always call and tell them you wont be in that day.

tell them that someone stole your license plates off your car.... you can't drive with out them..... it's perfect! when you go back to work with the same plates and if someone asks about it just then tell them that it was a little kid down the street took them and his mom caught him and made him give them back.

Then take your lazy azz to work! SHEESH!
I dont have that problem - I call in when I feel the need to. I earn sick days, so I can use them when I want..... So, what I do is a call in with "temporary blindness" - when Im asked what happened, I simply state that I "cannot see coming in to work today."

If the truth is so bad you can't tell it, then quit being lazy and get your butt to work!
