Injury Excuses


So you have an injury? Well guess what? They sell all sorts of make up at a party store. If you want to show your "bruise" or burn to your work(to make it more convincing), go out there, buy the make up and follow instructions while putting the make up on! You want more than one day off eh? The first day you get off, go and buy the make up then do a good job putting it on, then preferably get someone to drive you to work and show your employers what happened to you. If you have to find crutches to get some days off, do it! Buy the make up and medical wrap to fake the excuse perfectly.
