    I have been throwing up all night... usually they won't want you anywhere near them.

    This is especially effective if you have a personal meeting with the one calling, they will tell you to stay home and not bring "that" in the office.

    p.s. Don't show up the next day with a tan!

    24 hour virus, that way they don't want u to come to work & pass it on. I live close to my work so if I say my car won't start they will come & get me. But if I have vomiting & diarrhea followed by light headed dizzy spells they will want you to stay home & stay far far away from them. But I usually don't miss work, only in extreme cases the rest of time I just tough it out & go on.

    Just be short and sweet, say sorry I woke up with a splitting headache and cant bring myself to get out of bed today, if it goes on much longer I will go to the doctor/hospital.

    "Hey I have the zombie virus so I won't be showing up for work today. Yeah, I might try to eat your brain. Thanks, Bye."

    I only got away with it because my boss is cool and he knew I wasn't feeling well the day before.
