I have food poisoning. I have to meet with my kid's teacher. My kid is sick. Trouble with my car. Someone is in the hospital. I have a cold. Tragedy in the family. Doctor's appointment. I locked my keys in my car. My flight back into town got cancelled. I had an allergic reaction to something. I'm selected for jury duty. I got in a car accident. I'm snowed in. My best friend is going into labor. I have a crazy migraine. I need a personal day. Emergency dental repair. I need a mental health day. The roads around my house are closed due to weather.
