Okay, so it's a bit rebellious this early in the game...but shucks...why not?
*Sidenote: If you have a long running history of abruptly calling off and being generally unreliable, this technique may not work in your favor. At the least, however, you may get some new ideas. :-)
Tip #1: Use your vacation.
At my job we are awarded 17 vacation days annually; this includes 10 actual vacation days and 7 of what they call "choicetime" days. These are expected to be used for emergencies and in lieu of sick days. They can be taken in half- or full day increments. I prefer to take all vacation days in full. I never get sick, rarely call off and felt a bit self righteous after what I considered to be too short of a weekend. So, I simply called off.
Now, at this step, your work will not suspect you will be leaving soon and will likely grant you the time off you need. My excuse: An unexpected allergic reaction. Yup. That's right. Puffy swollen eyes, bright red cheeks, with a touch of vomiting.
*This actually did happen on Sunday night, (the cause of which is still unknown and was actually kind of scary) but subsided a few hours later after treating my face with raw aloe vera, drinking plenty of water spritzed with lemon and resting.
You can use other excuses such as the following:
Bladder Infection
Cramps (female)
Diarrhea - by far the best! - (except when it's true)
Dizziness
Fainting
Fever/Cold/Sneezes
Upset stomach
Family emergencies
Food Poisoning...and so on.
The simpler the better and the more believable. Try it. (evil grin)
Or don't. But moral of the story, in preparation to leave your job, try to use as many of your vacation days as possible. You've worked hard to earn those days, that time, and ultimately money, so don't throw them away.
