My dog is sick. I've used it once - when I slept in till 10 am. I have a good enough job where I am in a decent position.
I had used up my sick time a few weeks prior so I didn't have any room to err. At any rate, I went back to work the next day and lied even worse saying, I think she is pregnant....hmmm? OK so the joke wound up on me, in a few weeks, I found out she was pregnant...and 5 puppies later, I am now a grandma of 5 :)... Careful though, lying stinks and almost always you will get caught in a tangle.
My simplest excuse, is "I really just don't feel good.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
