So, what's a good reason to tell my boss that I suddenly need to take Monday as a vacation day? I can just write "vacation" on the form, but someone is going to ask.

Go with a cable outage. Then you can complain loudly to people how you have to take a day off for this crap.

Plumbing emergencies always work well (I've actually only used it once ... to get out of the company picnic) - they're emergencies, plumbing is necessary (no, cable is NOT a necessity), and people will think you're not having fun. You can come in the next day moaning about the mess and how you spent time mopping, bailing, dealing with plumbers.

Well, in fairness, your job doesn't result in sore necks, dodgy knees and wrists and chapped lips on a daily basis. Nope, it's just the archaeologists and the whores for that... we should so start a union.
