Car Problem Excuses


When you call in with a car problem, you should drive regularly or have a driver's license none-the-less. If you are walking distanse to work and your employers know that, don't even try it. If you don't know, every car comes with problems so new or old, shiney or rusty, your car can get you the day off of work. Enjoy your day off where ever you choose to spend it.
