Slacking off at Work #2

In part two of our five part series we examine the, Go-to Excuse.

The G2E is like your ace-in-the-hole when you have something come up last minute that you want to do, but that just so happens to fall within work hours. Say for instance you forgot to ask for time off (or just didn't want to because you have a G2E) for a UEFA Champions League match with your favorite team, Arsenal, going up against AC Milan starting in an hour. (This is all hypothetical of course.) If you have a G2E, you could leave work, and not only will no one think any less of you or be suspicious, but many will even feel sympathetic.

Our G2E- We actually do suffer from migraine headaches and make a concerted effort to warn our employers about this during the interview process. We get about two actual ones per year, and they're hell, but our boss thinks we get them all the time.

Our back-up always involves something breaking-down on our little sister's car on some highway about an hour away. Little sisters always have faulty cars, and who doesn't respect a big brother that comes to the rescue?

Critics of the G2E call it lying, but... shit it's nothing but lying, but they lied to us when they said, "Sons, you're going to love working here."
