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?

Last summer
I worked 2 jobs, monday-friday at a Fine Foods shop dealing with the platinum credit card brigade, and on saturday at a computer shop providing top-notch service to the town's residents.
Anyway. I was asked by the second shop if I could work a day during the week for them.. and as I vastly preferred that job, I accepted. What made things better was thta I still got paid for sick days from my Fine Foods job... so I'd be essentially on double pay - result!

My sickie-pulling excuse was that it was my aunt's birthday and I had to be in London for it.. it worked, and I got paid for my day off and all!

(The relative's birthday excuse later became a bit of a joke, since I used it a bit too much.. and my boss just mocked me for it's lameness)
