Sometimes it's better to light a flamethrower than curse the darkness

7 Have you ever called in sick to work when you weren't actually ill but didn't want to give the real reason?

I don't think I've done it when I wasn't ill at all, no, but I have used physical illness as a fib to cover up for mental illness (or insomnia, which feels like both a mental and physical illness) in jobs where I didn't think mental illness would be taken as seriously.
