if you werent already fired, call and say you were in a car accident and in the hospital and wrap your arm or leg or something in an ace bandage...say it was in a friends car so they wont question why your car is okay..or say you were sick and in the hospital...hospitals usually dont have phone service...but ya ive never used these so dont rely on them 100 percent...
next time call in...

Sounds like your priorities are a little out of balance. If you really need the money, why did you skip out on work in the first place?
Honesty is the best policy, especially if you're a teenager or college student (a boss is likely to be more forgiving to a youngster). Two days isn't two weeks: tell your boss the truth if you're willing to take responsibility for your actions and (s)he will probably give you a second chance. Make sure you don't make them regret it!

Any type of "illness" or "infection" you use, he MIGHT and probaby WILL ask for a doctor's note.
So you might as well suck it up, go to the doctor and tell him or her you've been flat on the floor laying by the toilet for 2 days and you need a note to get back to work.
And, btw, at my company, you miss 3 days no call no show and you are FIRED!
You shouldve called in the first day. I dont know what the policies are, but here, you gotta call within 10 min of your start time.
If nobody's called YOU from work, I'd pretty much figure you dont have a job.

Unless there is a good reason, you probably do not have a job and would get denied any unemployment compensation due to job abandonment. There is normally little tolerance for not calling in to work. I would start looking for a new job and keep this in mind in the future.

If you needed the job, you should have gone in or at minimum, called to let them know you were not coming in. Two days of a no-call/no-show = you are fired already.

It takes less than 2 minutes to pick up the phone and call in. If you loose your job it's your own fault.

Then why did you skive off work if you needed this job and money so badly?
Personal emergency, or sickness are usually the culprits.. but don't hold your breath.

Well, Seeing as you failed to call in...(that was pretty dumb of you) I don't think there is an excuse that will dig you out of the hole you have buried yourself in...
You should have called in sick, as when you cover your butt and call in sick regardless if you are or aren't....no disciplinary action can be taken for calling in sick....
As for needing this job and the money...you blew it...!!!

The best missed work excuses are sickness. Say that you had strep-throat--also say it is contagious for the first 48 hours, because it really is!

Honestly, you should have called out, if something does happen, its no one's fault but your own. I would call in, say you were sick and apologize.
