Tell them you are feeling like shite and have been throwing up since about 2 a.m. Then go in, stay with the sick theme, excuse yourself to go "throw up" a couple of times. Then around 2-3 p.m. tell the boss man that you need to go home. Unless he's a corksucker he'll appreciate the fact that you came in and tried.

Then since your t.v. is out go to a bar and really make yourself sick as to not feel bad about lying.

I'm a railroad conductor. If I get sick at work, too bad. I'llbe in the middle of nowhere and can't go anywhere. And if I take off sick before we leave town it'll cost me about $600.
