On the lighter side of life, Ceridian LifeWorks, a top provider of Employee Assistance Programs, asked HR managers to share the most unbelievable reasons their employees have given for missing work. They included: I was trapped in my house by a skunk. I have head lice. The barometer was too high. The neighbor’s dog died in front of my garage, and I couldn’t get the door open. I couldn’t open my garage door because the power went off. My car tires were repossessed, and my car was up on blocks. I left my car keys at work last night. I didn’t have a key to lock my house because my mom took it. My washing machine was broken, so I had no clean clothes. I dropped my kid’s bike on my foot. I got so sunburned on the weekend that I couldn’t get dressed. My apartment was so cold that my hair froze after I washed it. Enjoy
