And if you're caught, just say you really were sick of work. Step 1: Pick a day Decide what day you want off. Try to pick a day where you’ll get out of something unpleasant. Tip Monday and Friday are particularly conspicuous; the three-day weekend is a dead giveaway. Step 2: Decide what to do Think about how to spend your day off. Forget going to a tanning or beauty salon. If you show up the next day with a tan or a perm, you’ll be busted. Step 3: Decide on malady Decide on a reasonable malady, and keep it simple. 'I’ve got a bug' is easier to remember than a long, involved tale of exotic food poisoning. And remember: you’ll have to be 'better' in 24 hours. Step 4: Rehearse your story Rehearse what you will say when you call in. Repeat your story until you’re satisfied you have struck the right mix of fact and fiction. Step 5: Call before office hours Make the call before office hours so you get your supervisor’s voicemail, which can’t talk back or ask probing questions. Tip Play an alibi tape you recorded when you really were sick—and silence any background noise—to leave a convincingly pitiful message. Step 6: Prepare to return After spending a glorious day doing whatever you like, prepare to return to work. Rehearse your response to inquiries about your health and other questions that might catch you off guard. Tip If you’re a woman, return to work without a stitch of makeup. This will convince any doubters that you truly were sick. If you’re a man, stay unusually quiet all day. Step 7: Find out what you missed Once you’re back, make a show of finding out everything that happened the day before, so you can catch up on whatever work you missed. You’re so dedicated! Did You Know? According to a recent absenteeism survey, 43% of workers admitted to falsely calling in sick at least once in the previous year.
