Personal problems
This excuse is helpful when you have personal issues that you’re not comfortable fully discussing in the context of a workplace. If you feel like adding more details, you can. Perhaps you can say you are feeling overwhelmed or perhaps your significant other broke up with you. However, you can simply state that you have personal problems that are preventing you from being productive today. If your boss asks further questions, you can politely respond, “I’m sorry, but I do not feel comfortable explaining at the moment.”
If you are having something delivered to your home, perhaps a piece of furniture or an important document, this situation presents a valid reason for not going to work. Explain to your boss the importance of the item and why you need to be at home to ensure its safe delivery. Your boss may ask you to confirm the delivery time and expect you to work a half day. If you don’t have a firm delivery time frame, explain to your boss that the delivery window is quite large, and you’re uncertain about the exact delivery time.
