Schedule Your Sick Call

Found a new service through Lifehacker that saves you from making that dreaded sick call in the morning. I despise calling in sick,  because I hate explaining why I can't come in to work. When you're sick, you don't feel like answering twenty questions, and you certainly don't feel like waking up in the morning when you've been up all night with fever, chills, and a throbbing headache. It's actually very frustrating. Lucky for me, I've had employers who allowed me to just email then instead of calling in.

But we're not all so lucky, especially when you have a difficult boss who is fed up with fake sick-callers, so they try to make it hard for anyone to ever call in sick again.  

Group2Call's Call-In-Sick phone service lets your record, and schedule a message that is delivered to the boss letting him/her know you won't be coming in. You basically call a number (561.214.8030), record your "sick" message, and schedule the delivery time, preferably at 5 a.m. when the boss is still asleep. You don't want him answering the phone, you know.

Now I don't see why real sick people would ever need this service, so that leaves the fake sick-callers who have to muster up a raspy voice, do a little fake coughing, and throat clearing while flushing the toilet, until they perfect their sick sounding call.

I couldn't try out the service, because their servers were experiencing overload, which probably means there was a lot of sick calling going on. 

What do you think? Would you ever use this service? Come on, be honest.
