Be a man.
Tell them you are taking a personal day, and leave it at that.
That is why they are called "personal days"!
Hey,
I'm all for it. The problem is that the "Truth" doesn't always get you far. Belive me I learned it - time and time again - the HARD way - in a dead end job with a bleek outlook. so I accepted it, granted - this may not be true for everyone. I like my current job and learned that in order to get here you gotta play a little politics. If it makes me less of a man then so be it...
Eye Trouble? LOL, I use that on my guys all the time when they call in sick (just joking of course) I make up for it with them, they know I don't care either way.
No children..... Yet..... but perhaps that's a good excuse to start?
Funeral?? Thats GOOD. I think I can sacrafice an Aunt for that
