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?

I worked with a guy we nicknamed "Pfoo"... because that was the noise he made when he slumped in his chair, just before he said, "if I feel like this tomorrow, I'm not coming in!"
Another colleague checked his records and found Pfoo always took one less sickday each year than would result in his pay being docked.
We kept a spreadsheet of his sickdays, and found that there was an almost exact correlation of his illnesses and when the cricket was on the telly. Said colleague once announced, "in two days time, Pfoo will announce that if he feels like this tomorrow then he's not coming in". He was right.
