    No, if you can't wait until the morning, then send it in an email

    I would say only if there is death or dismemberment involved.

    I guess that depends what time the work day starts. Probably not, though.

    I think drunk calling your boss is a good idea. It will let them know you are committed to the job, even if wasted.

    Not unless you are supposed to be there at 4 am.

    take it from someone who does on call never ever do that unless you are in the hospital even then not a good idea then So my answer is no wait until 2 hours before start time if you work in the health field if not 1 hour is enough

    Not unless there was a horrific emergency that make it impossible to call later.

    If you absolutely have to contact your boss now because you won't be able to call at a decent hour (because you're going in for emergency surgery or to jail or something), then I'd send an email. Otherwise, wait.

    As a boss, I would appreciate an e-mail unless it's a really, really bad reason.

    What's the reason for calling in? Because people are sick all the time at 2:30 AM but still go to work because they feel better by 8am.

    It depends on what time you have to show up to work and if others are counting on you being there.

    "hey, boss....it's me....yeah, I chopped off my arm, just thought I'd let you know..... I'll try and be back in a few days...."
