you have to go check on the family business. Your Carib factory is up for a hostile take over from the Stag company, and it is more than important for you to go down there to make sure the it goes smoothly

That is too funny but it just might work! Sick or dead relative usually does the trick!

A family reunion or a wedding might do the trick. What about summoned for jury duty?

I've never had to make an excuse...my co-workers fight to take time off in the summer. The fact that I prefer to work at that time is a relief to my managers so they always give me time off at carnival.

Last year a new manager asked if I could do some work while I was in Trinidad. I told him I would absolutely do it if he bought me a laptop, paid for my airfare, and added the days I worked back to my available vacation days. He laughed then realized I was serious.

Well my manager going Trini too so no need to lie this year about where I am going.

As far as school, I am only missing 1 day per class so I will just email them from Trinidad and tell them I got a flat or some mess on the way to class and couldn't make it. Or a family emergency, depending on whatever mood I am in

here is one.
she youngest/oldest brother was wounded in Iraq. They are flying him in to a base. MAke sure the base is like texas or someplace hot. So when she return the tan wouldnt be questioned.( She going to have to research she bases though)
Make it a serious injury like burned or someting so so she can use the excuse of him dying next year.
