It’s a harsh reality about our society today, but we spend more time on our jobs than we do with our family and friends. If you want a direct testimony to that statement, look at all the individuals who are now suffering from stress-related maladies that are incurred from our employment. We have backaches, chronic headaches, and even bouts with high blood pressure.
In so many words, our jobs have the tendency to make us physically sick. It gets to the point where a much needed break from the grind is in order, but what if you have no vacation time built up? Better yet, what if you have one of those bosses that respond to your need for time off by threatening you with your job? It’s a sad fact, but this is happening every day in the workplace. It’s time to come up with some medical excuses so you can get away from that job and recoup some sanity.
Believe it or not, there is a site on the internet where you can find all the medical excuses that you will ever need. This is not a scam — it’s completely legitimate. There is a site where you can spend less than a $20 bill and find an excuse for whatever is ailing you, whether the ailment is truthful or not. Most of us deserve a much needed break. We’re overworked, under-appreciated, and definitely underpaid in the majority of jobs out there in the workplace.
This even works if you’re a student and you’re stressed out over exams that you’ve just taken, some research project, or just the overload of homework that’s been dumped on you. Hey, students are people, too — and they could use a nice break from the drudgery once in a while. Stress can be just as damaging to a student as someone in the workplace.
The way it is society today, there’s a great need for these medical excuses. But what if it’s not a physical issue that you need a note for. The better sites that provide these excuse packages have psychological issues covered as well. There’s even a note from your dentist. And don’t be offended ladies but there are even forms from a gynecologist available in some packages.
One site is even so specific as to have 8 different medical excuse forms to cover:
How about that? Do you think there is something to take advantage of here? Of course there is. You deserve it and you know it, so why not take a break once in a while. If you feel like the stress of your job is eating you alive, it probably is. Before it does any serious damage, use a medical excuse and take some time off. You definitely could use the time off if it’s gotten to that point.
