Would YOU use these excuses to stay home from work?
I have to embalm and wrap my dead mother.
My mother is ill.
My wife/daughter is having her period so I have to stay home to help around the house.
I was bitten by a scorpion.
I have to stay home to make offerings to the gods to improve my health.
I have to fetch stones for the scribe.
I have to brew some beer.
(The above are all excuses to stay home from work discovered on a limestone ostracon listing workers in ancient Egypt and their reasons for staying home from work on certain dates.)
I am SO glad to be able to provide you with some new, (old), excuses...🤣🤣🤣
