During Hurricane Katrina - I didn't have to use all of these but could have if the part about my house didn't make 'em understand:\nThe ceiling partially collapsed. I have to remove it and the carpet from the house today.\nI am afraid to drive over power lines and I can't move the trees and the houses from the road anyway. \nMy baby-sitter quit because her house is gone.\nI was up all night because the military helicopters and vehicles kept shining lights in the house and kept me up. \nI have to watch for looters trying to steal my stuff.\nThere is insulation all over the floors and caused my son to have an asthma attack. \nThe lack of water dehydrated my kids and two of them are now in the hospital.\nI have to remove my storage building out of my elderly neighbors house. \nI have to help my other neighbors find their houses and it's contents.

Oh just tell your employer the truth...\n\n"Good morning, 'insert employer name', I'm very sorry but I will not be able to come into work today, I have recently started performing "charity" work...yes, charity work, I help a variety of people with the answers to their important questions...I was up so late last night, that I can barely function this morning.  I apologize and I will be in first thing in the morning!"\n\nWhat employer wouldn't cut you a little slack for charity work?

Tell them you have deadlines to meet and that you really can't stand around and talk to them. Try to keep working the best you can. Ask them if they would please let you get your work done and maybe you could arrange to meet them after work.

Excuses are only going to work a couple times. If it keeps happening, you will probably lose your job. Either finish your business with your partner in enough time to get to work on time, or wait until after work.

Depends on what type of job you are in and what the cicumstances are. Is it for medical reasons that he is missing or because he just doesn't want to work? You have to be careful if its medical because he can claim FMLA and he can take the time. But if its because he just doesn't want to work excessive absenteeism can be grounds for dismissal. Tell him that his missing affects work and let him know that it will be reviewed in a month. Have him sign acknowledging that he understands. But first off make sure you give him the opportunity to let you know whats going on to make sure its not medical.

So far your employer is only putting you off.  Keep in mind that if an employee misses work for three/four months straight, ordinarily the employer needs to hire someone to replace them (even if the replacement is only temporary).  \n\nYou may have rights under the Americans with disabilities act (ADA) or under the Family Emergency Medical Leave Act (FEMLA).  In addition, if your accident occurred while you were on the job (regardless of fault), you may have remedies under your state's workers' compensation laws.\n\nYour employer might not have any legal duty to hire you back on light duty.  But if they continue to refuse to put you back once you've fully recovered, you may want to visit with an attorney.

We are in the same boat. I lost my job the other day for being "too quiet." They said that I worked hard and didn't do anything wrong but they wanted someone more out going.How stupid is that? All you can do is pick youself up and try again.Good Luck! Oh and in the mean time try to enjoy your day off. God will supply all of your needs according to His riches in glory.

Just keep working and wait 'til you get home. No sense getting fired, which of course would provide you all the time you needed to surf.....'til it was time to get back to work to pay rent, utilities, grocery bill, etc.

1. General manager should tell "A" that he could see there was too much to do so he turned over a little to "B" to help him out then apologize for not thinking to tell him about it first.  No excuses, just the truth.\n\n2.  Tell the boss that you had an important personal phone call and you apologize for being late.\n\n3.  Let the child know it wasn't their fault that you lost patience with them, let them always know you're human, then if you still can help with the math problem or spend some quality time with him.  Don't go buying stuff to make up for it.

I have found the most effective antidote to procrastination is to have a person or a team to whom you are directly accountable. This is very common in a professional setting and naturally very effective. In an academic setting, it is easy to find ourselves alone where no one else has anything to lose by our procrastination. When this has presented itself as a problem for me, I have enlisted the help of a friend who was willing to be my 'boss' by insisting that I check in regularly with a schedule and reports of my progress. In my case, I could do the same thing for her with something she was having a tough time finding the self-motivation for. \n\nEach of us are then forced to prioritize a list of what needs doing and come up with our own due dates. Even though we each play the role of 'boss' to one another, we are really building a very healthy habit of getting our work done earlier.\n\nThe danger, of course, is if both of us hit a wall at the same time. It is very important that there is a mechanism which requires regular contact. So, perhaps in addition to a daily email or phone call (which can easily be put off) make a point to have a weekly or bi-weekly lunch meeting say. \n\nIt is amazing how much of your capability you can unlock when you yeild the discomfort of admitting how far behind you are. It is just too easy to tell our friends that all is well. Try asking for help, chances are your friend could use a hand too.

depending on the type of work you do...keep a stack of papers on your desk, and if someone happens by, start shuffling the papers, like you're looking for a particular sheet, or pretend to be reading one, maybe even use a highlighter, and mumble to yourself (but loud enough for someone walking by to hear) about how much work you have to do yet today....

Just take the day off and stay at home, no point in going to work if you are not feeling well becuase you will never get an proper work done!

Try to find something to do.  If you are a little sluggish, go for a little walk around the office to get yourself woke up.\n\nAlso, ask others around you if they need help.  This will help morale and that person may help you if you get in a bind.\n\nLastly, ask you supervisor if there is any other job(s) you can learn.  The more valuable you are, the least likely the company will be to get rid of you if business slows down.\n\nHope this helps.

Call your state's labor board for your rights.  Then proceed.  You can appeal their statement to the unemployment board stating your reasons for missing so much work.
