Things I'm Not Above Doing to Get Out of Corporate Audit Training


I'm a network administrator.

However, I work for an accounting firm. This means we have mandatory annual firmwide training.

We don't have the budget to give me any IT training, but we sure do have enough cents to put me through audit training. Here's a few things I'm not above doing in order to get out of it next time:

  • Fake a heart attack
  • Kill the network
  • Volunteer for jury duty
  • Commit a misdemeanor. Know anything that'll get you just one day in jail?
  • Create an on-the-job injury. If I jump off the fifth floor, it'll end my misery permanently. The second floor? Probably just a broken leg.

What would you do to get out of audit training?

Hmmm, I must ponder on this one. ..... Oh, I know, I would allow broccoli into my home to get out of audit training. Oh, vile weed, why dost thou torment me so?

I'm with you on that one!

If you cover it with enough cheese, I can get along with it. But other than that...

Ok, but only since you asked for it!
Kill the network!

How about have your wife give birth? That should get you out of at least a few days of training. Becareful about wishing for a broken leg...

You seem to have the leg thing covered!
I would give up my first born child. Oh, I thought you asked what I would do for a Klondike bar.

I would give up a Klondike bar to get out of training.
You could maybe stab somebody too. But then you might miss more than just training.

That gets you in less trouble than you'd think. I've done it twice. Really.
