Think of these more along the lines of the contractors were already on the premises and wanted to leave early because their budgies died etc
The clues are contained within the lines
she doesn't feel up to working the rest of the daybut wanted to go home anyway

A few (about 15) years ago I wrote a system for employees to check in/out at work. At the client's request it had an option to give a reason for absence to be filled in by the manager. It included options for "Grandmother died", "Other Grandmother died" and "Yet another Grandmother died".
