But I have a note from my doctor!

So I know that we tend to write about Northwest-based tech companies, but I just had to pass along crucial information for anyone who has ever thought they needed a mental health day from work, but couldn't take it due to human resources requirements. There's a new website, myexcusedabsence.com, that's dedicated to providing relief to beleaguered workers everywhere. Brought to you by two geniuses in Oklahoma (a state where a doctor's note is frequently a requirement for sick time), for a one-time fee of $25 you get very official-looking notes covering illnesses, emergency room visits, funerals, jury duty, etc. You also get some tools to help manage your absences (i.e., did you already attend grandma's funeral?).
