My, um, dog ate it...or something - posted by Jordan Barab, Confined Space
Ha, ha. Those guys over at the National Association of Manufacturers (NAM) have such a sense of humor. Of course, I'd probably be yucking it up more too, if I controlled both houses of Congress and the guy I
elected bought was sitting in the White House.
NAM's 'Workplace Watch' this month has a hilarious list compiled by Careerbuilder.com of 'pretty weird excuses' that people have used to play hooky from work. Things like:
* I was sprayed by a skunk.
* I tripped over my dog and was knocked unconscious.
* My bus broke down and was held up by robbers.
Yupp, workers say the darnedest things!
