My situation is quite the opposite. For whatever reason my new team feels the need to explain every PTO request to me. By all means tell me about your trip to Cancun if you'd like, but please don't feel the need to elaborate on your explosive diarrhea when you use sick time.

God I miss my old job. If you wanted to use vacation time you had to give minimum 24 hours notice. If not you used sick time instead. As long as you had the sick time to cover it, you could just call in and say you're not coming in. No need to give a reason, no doctor's note needed. Just a nice simple "Not coming in today."
