This is a question Awesome Sickies

A colleague has been off work for two weeks now - apparently he's got something they can't diagnose, (although they know for sure it's not Legionnaires, Malaria, BSE or AIDS, he's supposedly in isolation). We are all sure he's merely sitting in the sun waiting for the World Cup to come on the telly.

What have you invented to get off work?

Had a genuine sicky myself...
..I suffer from an allergy called Dermitographic Urticaria, which I've mainly managed to get under control (although it does kick in now and again). I basically come out in hives when my skin is agitated, which for a laff I can actually draw on my skin, which lasts for approx 1 hour.

It may be a valid excuse to pull a sicky, but I was accused by some staff/management of making it up. So, using my new found allergic super-powers I wrote "CUNTY" on my forearm and pointed it out to the accusing management. By the time the n00b brought others over to show the complaint, it had gone from my arm. Cue lots of akwark confusion and me playing innocent while the manager got grilled :)

Behold, I am Captain Etch-A-Sketch!
