Awesome SickiesA 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?

Some work, some don;tLuckily I have 3 really good boss's. They all played the game as much as we did.
I once worked at a small bookies, and one Saturday morning I was supposed to be in at 10am on the later start. AT 730am, I'm lying on my back with the Ex riding away, when my mbile rings. I see the name "Nick", think its my mate who I was out with the prior night and answer with "I'm in mid shag, so fuck off".
Yeah, my line manager Nick just replies "Cool, we're over staffed today so you may as well not come in! See you in the Griffen at 8pm" Complete legend.
Steve, my next boss, accepted "I'm still in the casino, I'm £500 up and theres no way I'm stopping until I hit a grand", "I'm still drunk. I got wasted last night and I think I've glued my eyes together" and the best one, "I'm in Germany at the Germany v England game (in 2001). I might not make it in for 9pm."
I have been caught out twice though. Once skived and went racing at Ascot - Got filmed by Channel 4 standing near the finishing post; the other time I said I had a migraine. Next day I went in and because I hadn't declared the fact I'd had them before, I was immediatley given a formal warning and put on "report" for 2 weeks...
