Is it wrong to phone your work and say a relative died just so you can go to a gig? What if said relative was already dead? Hmm?

I figure I'm already going to hell as it is anyway. :(

And no, I can't phone in sick or they'll eat my balls.

Depends whats the GiG
 
If I was your relative from the netherworld I would be ok with it. And since you don't have to worry about hell as you are going there for sure, you really should be trying to do satans work to improve your standing.

Well, if he really killed a relative that would be a start. Bonus points if they were a christian. And then called into work.
 
Obviously it's not good, but from a pratical point of view if you call in for a bereavement day when you're so bad with fake sickdays there is no way they'll believe you anyway.

Its not that I fake a lot of sickdays, far from it, they're just so fucking strict when it comes to sick absense, they'll phone you back at stupid hours just to make sure that "you're doing ok" aka checking up to see if you're still at home. I feel bad about it, but I really want to see this band :(
 
why don't you just call in sick and they can sod off? If you don't answer your phone, big deal. Let it go to a machine or leave it off the hook. Then scream PROVE IT if they accuse you of anything till you do get sick for real. (Unless, by law in your country they are entitled to ask for a med cert after 1 day).

That's wrong. Period.
Make up another excuse, but don't you dare say that.
Tell them you've been throwing up all night.
 
If you don't care about screwing over your employers for a day, then go for it. Is their trust/progress more important than seeing a show?

Here's the thing... if you call in are you going to be fucking your coworkers over? Like, are they going to have to work harder just to get out of there on time if you leave? If so, then you should suck it up and go in. But if you work at one of those jobs where you won't even be missed if you don't show up, well, then don't show up. :)
 
Find a gun (HEAR ME OUT!)

Hold the barrel over your forearm as close to your arm as possible with the barrel pointing AWAY from any of your flesh.

Fire the gun (into the ground of course)

Without washing the arm, get some rough sand paper and rub a small spot about 1/8 the width of a bullet in the center of the area where most of the flash of the muzzle was located.

Go directly to the hospital and say somebody tried to mug/shoot you and you got away.

They'll examine your arm, find gunpowder residue and treat your arm with a band-aid.

Ask for a note for mental stability recovery or something like that.

Call up your boss, explain the situation and go to the gig.

...

Of course there is no way you'll get away with that so option 2 will have to be to just go to work and don't dick over your co-workers.

....

Option 3 is to read the obituaries and tell the boss that you were called to be the pallbearer and eulogist for the person you picked out who's dead and is relatively close to the time of the gig.

...

Okay that's a bit over the top even for me, so I'll redeem myself and reiterate the necessity of forgoing the gig and getting to work. Because work rocks...

*fingers option 3...*
 
:lol

Now that I'm sober I can think properly! Doors to the gig don't open till half 8, and I'm supposed to finish work at 9, so I'm just going to start like an hour early and leave an hour early. I don't think they'll really care.
 
make sure they're dead, At a job I worked in high school. A kid called in and said his mom died. Shortly after the start of his shift his mom called in to work asking for him.

Wait a minute. If you know you are going to hell and hell is real for you, why are you taking it lightly?

The moral of the story is that you can do what you want without having to resort to evil.
 
I would. I would say it about someone who is already dead. I'm sure my dead relative wouldn't mind and they would hate my boss anyway.
