The best thing would be to just use a PTO day than to chance getting caught in a lie and risk repercussions from said lie

DO NOT Lie.

"I'm not going to make it into work. I apologize for the short notice. I plan to return to work tomorrow."

Lying is for unethical, immoral people. Don't be one.

They kind screwed me in a manner of speaking though. It was half my fault but half their fault for erasing a extra pto day I had for no reason.

🤣 I actually clicked on your profile at first and read what you wrote... Oh, by the way did you know that poking sea otters while they are sleeping, causes them so much stress that it will dramatically shorten their life... and doing so can result in massive fines along with up to 10 years in prison. Damn Skippy, we got that passed after long tedious years to save them there precious sea creatures from no longer being there to climb up on my surfboard and go for a ride. An experience that is just way too awesome to be able to feel, until it happens to you. Damn. kinda want to shed a tear atm...

Yes, Otters are one of my fave animals... among many... In particular Dogs, I have had so many Pupers in my life... all my life and sadly have gone through what just experienced... over and over again... God, it hurts so bad... The ones I had to make the choice to let go... were by far the worst and still haunt me and can keep my dang nose running...

Yeah but they know I don't. Cause when you apply for most jobs these days you have to fill out in a form if you have any disabilities and some mental illnesses like Bipolar disorder would fall under that category. So they would know I am lying.
