8.  “I’m (insert “sick” smiley  **cough, cough**) not going to be able to make it for my shift today.”

“Calling-out” text messages to the superior in a professional situation is always a no-no. At least if you’ve decided you’re going to take the day to catch up on Project Runway instead of those projects you have due next week, you can at least call and attempt a dry cough and a stuffy nose.  The same goes for canceling plans: dial a number if you’re going to be a no-show for a date.  Effort is half the battle.  If you have the good health to text, you can definitely make a quick call.
