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?

No point in risking itI injured my back last Feburary (it was one of those scare the sh*t out of you feelings when I couldn't move around after it happened). After a night of tests in hospital the doctor signed me off for 2 weeks, saying it was nothing more than a really bad muscle tear. I was pretty much laid up for most of my line.
Another line for 2 weeks followed, giving me a chance to get back on my feet, get out and about and generally chill out. I was feeling fit enough to go back to work, but why let that get in the way of another sick line.
I done the old dodgy walk routine in the Doc's surgery expecting another week off. However he though another 2 weeks was wiser... just to be sure. "There's no point in risking it" were his exact words.
So what did I spend my next two weeks doing? Snowboarding up north and genreally throwing myself down mountains while being paid for the privellage. At least I knew my back had recovered after all that.
Risk it?, of course. Worth it, absolutely! Length?, 6 weeks free holiday
