Help me lie.......

[spedrunner]

So i have an interview for an awesome special ed position in a more stable school and was freaking out bc i had to take off the ENTIRE day right after a holiday (Big no no at my job)

Anyway, I was able to get an 830 interview (moved up) So ill be able to make it in half day

What do i say when i call out? SIck, dr appt, car trouble? pooped myself?

Help me lie please

[speckledfrog]

Car trouble while driving back into town?

NO Details!

Just say you had a doctor appointment.

Act like a man. I won't be in until 12

A pipe blew in your house and you have to wait for the plumber to get there before you can leave.

[spedrunner]

Thanks girls. I think the "Ill be in at noon" route is prob best

[iamgrace]

Just say you had an appt. Give no details or it seems like you're lying. If anyone asks say "it's personal"

[speckledfrog]

Just in case they press you (I know some places are like that) you can claim something with your dog.

[spedrunner]

ahhhh speckled, great idea.........they may, my boss is kinda like that.....

I'm in pretty much the exact same situation this Tuesday. I'm using the "appointment" route.

Looking for a teaching job without getting fired from your current one sucks.

Good luck to us both.

Classic difference between successful people - there's no need to justify yourself, unless it's completely prohibited, just give as minimal information as possible, without any emotion.

The thing with being a teacher and requiring a substitute, you have to give a reason. The being forced to lie part sucks.

The it's personal should suffice.

But now I'm wondering how true this Forbes Article is.

I would say Dr appt because they can't question that.
