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?

BlistersA few years ago I was staying at my posh old aunt's house and we were about to have dinner.
Being posh, she always warms the plates before eating. Being old she sometimes forgets how long they've been heating for.
I pride myself on my asbestos fingers so I always take the plates out the 'cool oven' (posh!) bare handed. On this occasion I shouldn't have.
I yelped lots and tried not to drop the two £50 plates on her floor, which resulted in my getting 3rd degree burnes to each of my finger tips (well there were blisters on most of them)
I phoned in sick for the next 2 days to my crapy data-input summer job using the excuse that my fingers hurt too much to type. Complete rubbish but on the third day I still had blisters so they couldn't complain.
Hurrah!!!!!!!!!
