I feel extremely uncomfortable lying and I usually will just say "I'm not going to be able to make it in, I'm using a sick day" but I work for a big corporation that staffs a lot of people and builds an expected amount of daily staff shrinkage into the staffing plan so they don't like, interrogate people, may not work for everyone.
