As seen on Asylum, “Tip #6. Pick a random Tuesday or Wednesday for your fake illness.”

Indeed, I’ve heard rumors that as much as 40% of ’sick days’ were taken on a Monday or a Friday! Isn’t it a proof employees are faking some of their sick days?

Wait a minute, Monday+Friday = 2 days… Out of 5 working days, that’s 2/5 = 40%…

So, given some liars will try to avoid suspicion by choosing a date mid-week, if I were you, I’d stick to the Monday or Friday. Plus, it will extend your week-end in a way the Tuesday can’t.
