10 really bad excuses to take a day off from work.

1) Roomie did not wake you up so you terribly overslept after last night’s house party.

2) You cannot find anything to wear to work; all your clothes are with the isthri walla whose shop is unfortunately shut today.

3) You have a pain in the arse, so must urgently visit the piles clinic.

4) There’s a mini-tsunami happening in your house right now as your kid broke the pipe last night with a cricket bat, and the plumber is not answering your calls.

5) Your parents just told you that you were adopted so you need the day off to cry your heart out.

6) Your maid was bitten by the stray dog in your building so it is your moral duty to take her to the hospital, get her a rabies shot and drive her back home.

7) You have to join a protest against someone cutting down a tree in your lane and save the family of sparrows that has built a nest in it.

8) Your cat stepped on your glasses and broke it, now you cannot even find your cat in the house without them.

9) Your girlfriend is pregnant.

10) Someone has hacked in to your Wifi at home so you have to report it to the Cyber Crime Investigation Cell and contribute to the prevention of a possible attack by the Mujahideen terror group.
