Getting days off is tricky, so I came up with a solution.
There are Seven Main Steps:
1) Make sure there is something in your personal life that is bothering you.
2) Don't talk to anyone about this thing.
3) Wait for said thing to build up.
4) When your manager asks what's wrong, burst into tears.
5) Briefly explain the situation (you don't want him or her to worry!).
6) You should be sent home (hence why it is best to burst into tears at the *beginning* of your shift).
7) When asked if there is anything else he or she can do, request the following day off too (this lines up perfectly with your regular day off, so presto- three days off in a row! Good work!)
Flaws in the Trial Run:
-Lack of tissue. (Make sure to have tissues in your pocket so that you don't have to wipe your nose with a cotton ball.)
-Concerned coworkers and guests. (Not sure how you should deal with this one... slink out the back door? Wear a mask and hope they don't recognize you?)
-Roommate interrogation. (Unfortunately, you'll have to look like a fool with this one, because he or she will wonder why you're home so early.)
Enjoy your time off- hey you could even use it to deal with whatever's bothering you ;)
