Claiming a Vacation

You want to claim a vacation, do you? Well, let me tell you, it's not that easy. Here are some techniques to help you convincingly claim your R&R.

Technique 1: The Fake Doctor's Note

Just print out a note that says you need to go to the beach because of a "medical condition". Don't worry, it's not a real condition, just make something up. Like "Sudden Onset Beach-itis" or "Excessive Sunburn Syndrome".

Technique 2: The Fake Car Issue

Just tell your boss that your car broke down... again. You can even make up a story that you were driving to the mechanic when you really went to the beach. Don't forget to include the requisite "I'm not making it up, I swear" in your email.

Technique 3: The Fake Family Emergency

Just tell your boss that your cat's hamster is having a crisis and you need to go take care of it. Don't worry, it's not like you're actually going to go to a family member's house or anything.
