Answer:  Call in sick to work when you're just fine!  Be careful, though, because 30% of bosses have checked up on their employees to verify that the sick day is legit.  Watch what you put on Facebook!

joke of the day

“Six cups,” advised the waitress.

Not in the mood for new friends


The majority of us do not want to make new friends while on vacation, according to a new study (of British vacationers, but it's easy to assume we feel the same way!).  And if we do make a new pal, it usually doesn't last beyond the vacation.  The main reason we don't seek out  new friendships is so we don't get stuck with those new friends throughout the remainder of the vacation.





Bad News is Ruining Our Lives


Sometimes you just have to take a vacation from the news.  A new study confirms what we all know -- bad news stresses us out.  It's worse for women though.  Reading depressing news effects both men and women, but women hold on to the stress much longer than guys.  On the other hand, men probably shake off the stress by forgetting the stories faster.  Women tend to remember the details to bad news far longer than men.





Don't ya hate it when...


...you leave your snail at a hotel?  Wait, you haven't?  Somebody did... snails, swords, and even wives have been left behind at hotels, according to a new survey by lastminute.com.

The snails were left behind at a hotel in Budapest, while a businessman went straight to the airport forgetting his wife at the hotel.  Of course there's the guy in Dublin who forgot his mother was with him and left without her.  That's one quiet mom.

Other items left behind include:

  • $10,000 cash
  • a dog
  • a police officer's gun and badge
  • wedding dress
  • performance enhancing drugs
  • um....love toys....
  • lots of iPads, laptops and smartphones.  23% of hotels report more and more of us are forgetting our technology.


Facebook/Phones:  Strangest thing you ever found that was left behind...
