I should get a sling for my arm.
I didn't get to work Tuesday because of the weather and then I was later than usual Thursday and Friday, so I decided I'd go in early today and make sure everything got done, because I'm actually a pretty good employee. So I told my boss.
When I woke up today, I didn't want to go in early because I guess I'm actually a pretty crappy employee. I started trying to think up excuses as to why I wasn't coming in early when I said I would, in case he asked about it. The only thing I could think of... the only thing that would enter my mind was, "I got shot." I could picture it in my head:
"Hey."
"I thought you were coming in early."
"Planned on it."
"I was expecting you at-"
"Can I get to work now?"
"Hey! I don't care why you were late, but if you say you're..."
"Got shot."
"...going to be in early then you- Uh... What?"
"Shot. Shoulder."
"..."
"Bang." *I make a gun with my hand and point it at my shoulder* "Wanna see it? The puss looks kinda like the inside of a Cadbury egg."
*He pales* "NO!"
"Fine." *I turn to walk away and get to work*
*He calls after me* "Don't... uh... I mean, you should try not to... uh... try not to let it happen again?"
"Yeah. No shit."
That would seriously be the best excuse for being late ever. I contemplated trying it for a good five minutes before deciding that I wouldn't be able to convince him. He didn't ask anyway.

My elder (crazy) sister once borrowed my splint from when I broke my elbow so she could call in. Only then they wanted documentation. She got fired.
