What is your go-to excuse when you want to skip work?
A USA-based newsman's out of office sick email turned into a national story after he accidentally sent it to nearly every employee at his company.
Listen to the audio here:
Nick Vasos, an anchor and traffic reporter, decided he needed to take Friday off after having oral surgery the day before. But instead of alerting just his bosses, he sent the email to Nexstar Media Group's nearly 200 stations.
The mishap prompted a national wave of well wishes, including on-air tributes, sympathetic tweets, and a trending hashtag - #PrayersForNick.
In the office, co-workers set up a candlelit shrine at Vasos's desk, complete with flowers, portraits, and memorabilia.
In the spirit of good fun, KZN shared some of their get-out-of-work excuses with Thandolwethu.
Listen to the audio to hear what they had to say.
