What excuse can I use to get a half day off work?

Question

I have an interview Monday morning and I need an excuse to give to the boss to get the morning off. But I can't use workmen coming to the house, that was the excuse for an interview last week. It can't be going to the docs, as I am in the middle of treatment and am not due back to the docs until the following week. It can't be the dentist, was there last month. It can't be the opticians either, my opticians is just up the road from work and wouldn't take all morning.

Help! Officially I don't have to give a reason but it is good manners to, but then again I hate lying. What a state to get in! Can anyone give me some common sense and a way out of my dilemma.

All excuses gratefully received :)

I truly wish telling the truth was a viable option but it isn't. My boss is neurotic when all is well, I don't think he would take too kindly to hearing I am looking for another job. But thank you all for your replies, I will not consider my options :)

Mr Sceptic, I am actually wanting an excuse to take a half day's holiday, and not conning the boss out of half a days pay. Yes, I am pathetic getting in such a state for something that I am legally entitled to. We all have our crosses to bear!

You can find out more about natural hemorrhoids cure here:

Note that:
Diarrhea can contribute to hemorrhoid formation because the bowel undergoes pressure strains due to the condition. Undue pressure on the veins that make up internal hemorrhoidal structures can worsen existing damage. Internal hemorrhoids are not visible, unless they proplapse (protrude) from the anus, either constantly or during a bowel movement. If this is the case, then you have a grade III or IV internal hemorrhoid. If the protrusion is on the anal verge or the area surrounding the anus, then its likely an external hemorrhoid. Reducing pressure from issues of diarrhea and constipation will help. Not straining during a bowel movement, not lifting heavy objects, not sitting for extended periods, all will help.

An external hemorrhoid is simply a vein located at the anal verge, the wall of which as weakened and protruded. Don't push on it, this will only increase pressure and worsen it. The body has to repair the vein wall and rebuild the integrity. This takes time, perhaps weeks, if all goes well. Use sitz baths and over-the-counter medications such as pads or creams to provide symptom relief in the interim. These won't solve the issue long term, but will give the tissue a better chance at self-healing.

Internal hemorrhoids are a different matter and require more intervention. Your best bet is to educate yourself about the condition, its causes and what options there are to treat it both short and long term. Don't ignore it though, hemorrhoids tend to become chronic in nature, lasting years or decades in some cases.

Wow you have a full plate there! I am very impressed and amazed. If you are feeling burned out then maybe you should just take the whole day off. If you do not give your body rest you can end up really really sick. Would you rather have one day off to rest or end up having to take a few days off because your body gave out on you. Get some sleep! Oh and keep up the great work!

Answer 4

Personal problems is always a good one, then you don't have to too specific. As long as you can be vague about marital problems, or test results, or something else that the boss won't pry into too much, you should be fine. This also has potential for future interviews, just elaborate on the same theme!!

Answer 9

root canal at the dentist. Works every time. No one can ever see it to know if its really been done and you need to take drugs to numb the pain so you need to go home after and sleep off the wooziness. One you can use again and again....

I must be on my fourth root canal this year! great stuff. .. just remember to keep track of how many you've had!! Good luck with the interview!!!

Answer 10

The most common causes of hemorrhoids are straining during bowel movements and obesity. Follow these essential hemorrhoid prevention tips and you may not even have to delve into any hemorrhoid treatments https://tr.im/yFmkW

If you’re straining during bowel movements, there is no doubt that you are suffering from constipation, and obesity only heightens your chance of experiencing these digestive issues. The best solution for hemorrhoids is to not have them at all!
