I have posted before about the training thing I'm on organised through job centre (they find you a voluntary work placement to help you get work experience to put on a cv). anyway since I've started its been a bit of a joke, they never have anything for me to do and I often sit there for hours doing nothing but I'm supposed to for 16 hours a week to stay "On the course" and we're allowed 5 days off sick but the trainer did say that its not exactly a strict rule...
Anyway I've been feeling a bit down and stressed these past few days and could not face the thought of going in this morning just to sit doing sod all, plus I wanted to get my loft problem sorted out and I felt I had too much to do at home to go out and sit doing nothing elsewhere so I phoned in and said my son was off school ill
She was fine about it (I know, I shouldnt lie to people) but then I found out that he's in a play at school tomorow and I really don't want to miss it, especially when I'd otherwise be sat doing nothing thinking about it and feeling guilty so what do I do??
Do I phone in and tell the truth, that he's in a play and i dont want to miss it?
Or phone in and say he's still ill
Or just go and explain to son that I can't come and watch?
p.s. am I being really out of order here? I never normally lie but I just couldn't bring myself to go in this morning but now I'm feeling bad about it all...
