You need to finish your Christmas shopping, and you can't take the kids with you because they are old enough to notice what you're buying. You still haven't bought a Christmas gift for your wife, but if you get home late, she'll find out that you still haven't bought her gift, and you'll get coal in your stocking. What can you do?
You're going to have to leave work early, but you need an excuse. Here are some handy-dandy, ready made, leaving-work-early-to-finish-the-shopping excuses:
1. I'm sick (an oldie, but a goodie). Try to specify with something dangerously infectious, like rotavirus, or something invisible, like vertigo.
2. I have to pick up _______ from the airport.
3. The day care called, and they are closing due to a mass onset of pink eye (only works if no one in your office uses the same day care).
4. My tires felt like they were losing air on the drive in, so I need to go have them checked out (especially good because no coverup story needed later - you can always say they were fine).
5. I left the oven on when I was baking your special cake this morning. I'll bring the cake tomorrow (wink, wink). It's worth baking a cake, or picking one up from the grocery store, to get the afternoon off.
