Other than being sick, what makes you want to call in sick to work?

I call in sick to spend an extra day with my boyfriend who lives in another city

working with kids, I find pink eye is a good way to get out of work. I open my sick, so if I want a day off, I either have to plan it in advance( so someone can open the school and cover my class) or I have to go in sick, wait till another teacher gets there before going back home
