  • You can call in sick without specifying what it is or sounding sick. No need for details, in fact it would be discouraged. "hey boss, sorry but I am afraid I have to call in sick. I'll most likely be available as usual next blabla" thats it

    unless they need a doctors note.

    otherwise "private emergency". Could be anything and if you keep it general it should be understood that asking about details would be prying.

    Dont know how cool your boss is though, but "private emergency" means you aren't taking a sick day so its unpaid, on the other hand it might be outside of your work contract.


  • What sometimes helps me decide is to ask myself "am I trying to be nice, or am I trying to be right, or both?" or "is this for me, the other person, or the viewer?". Then, depending on the context, I proceed or abort.

    Posting shit just for myself and just to be right has a valid context, but if Im unsure chances that isn't the case at the time.
