The sun is shining the birds are chirping and you just can't bear the thought of having to go to work on such a beautifu day. So you decide to call in and take the day off, but you're not sure the boss will by your excuse about being sick. You need help in coming up with an excuse. Well, there may not be an app for that, but lucky for us Monster.com has compiled 10 Excuses for Missing Work. There are smart excuses like:

I Have a Doctor's Appointment: This excuse will get you out of work for a half-day or so. Make the appointment first thing in the morning or late in the day, say around 3 p.m. You can leave the office by 2:30 p.m. and get home (hopefully) by 4 p.m. The shortened day will help you recharge, especially if you schedule it on a Friday afternoon.
