Today, my boss phoned me and asked me why I wasn't at work. I was in the staff room. I'd said hello to her as I came in the door. FML

Today, my boss called on my day off and told me to come to work. She neglected to tell me that it was simply to give me my recent paycheck after it got lost, but then she said, "Since you showed up in uniform, you might as well clock in for today. The new guy no-showed again." FML

Boss "Why aren't you at work?" OP "Ummm.....because I work real hard you gave me a pay raise and told me to take 4 weeks off, paid of course, as a bonus." *OP walking out of workplace totally unnoticed by boss standing out door* Boss "Sounds like me. Good job. See you in a month" Have fun OP.

I've definitely been in the middle of doing something and had an employee say hi to me, said hi back automatically without it registering who was talking to me, then ten minutes later asked if that person had shown up yet. But someone usually reminds me that I said hi to them so no phone call.

So she called your cellphone to ask why you weren't at work?

Many people use a cell phone as their regular phone, and don't worry about having a land line at home. It's cheaper. So, no, it's not that unlikely the boss had OP's cell listed as the primary number to call.
