Generally I prefer to skive on *my* terms

Microsoft outage has effectively crippled my office

Been telling them for years that company is no good, did any fucker listen?

Admittedly, someone probably signed a billion year contract with them years before I even took this job. But surely there's some kind of clause in there about "if our products start to suck lumpy shit..."

Still, at least I can finish hemming this skirt
