Appease my curiousity, please.

I woke up this morning feeling vaguely like I'd been hit by a bus. I wandered around, took a shower, wondered if I were ill and should call in to work, and then I realized that I wasn't ill, I was just mad. And I don't think one can call in mad to work, which is sort of a shame. Might cut down on office shooting sprees. I wasn't that mad, of course, but you get the idea.

Anyway, this reminded me of redbelle27's icon about calling in queer. And that made me wonder. I've never successfully called in for anything other than illness, car trouble, or flights delayed/stuck out of town. I've faked it, but even then, I faked one of those things. Have any of you lot ever successfully called in for anything unusual? Called in crazy? Called in dead? "Too mellow to be bothered to go to work today"?

Also, how come there's a mood icon for "crappy", but not one for "interested" or "intrigued"?

Or sunshine... I've had work called because it was beautiful out.

I've had classes called for that... but it was usually during hunting season as I did go to college in Arkansas...

Deer season used to be three days off school. I'm not sure why it isn't out here.

In Oregon (where I attended all my primary schooling) if your parents called in and said that you were going to be absent for hunting, they considered it and marked it as an Unexused Absense. If your parents called up and said you were going on vacation, it was fine for 5 days, then it was considered UA.

When we lived in Kodiak, it wasn't unusual for businesses to shut down or work with skeleton crews on sunny days.
