Require a Doctor's Note to pull a sickie for tomorrow? Xbox One has you covered

Tomorrow's the big day (unless you reside in New Zealand and Australia). The Xbox One will be launching in multiple markets on November 22nd and it's not farfetched to assume everyone's real excited to get their hands on the next-gen console.

The only issue is that the launch day is a Friday, but what if you could have a Xbox One Doctor's Note to pull a sickie and get out of whatever is planned for you?

Microsoft has created a web page where you can fill out your own Xbox One Doctor's Note. It's fairly humorous, here's a short snippet from the note:

"Due to the Zombie Flu your employee will not be able to fulfill the scheduled commitment he/she has with you. Because of the severity of this condition I'm prescribing a heavy dose of Xbox One. He needs to destroy zombies."

Of course, we don't recommend you send this to a recipient who does not have a sense of humour and wouldn't take this as a serious excuse for the day off or backing out of an arranged activity. Just remember that the weekend is only round the corner, providing you with two full days to battle all the zombies in the world. Who wants to do laundry anyway??

Head on over to the Xbox website to create your own Doctor's note. Now for the big question: will you be taking the day off work to get some gaming done? We won't tell, promise.
