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?

Not exactly a sickie, but...A few years back I went out for an xmas drink with my staff, and managed to get quite unproffessionally drunk prior to copping off with one of the xmas temps. My crew got to see the whole unedifying sight of their boss slobbering over a wee lass ten years his junior before staggering off home with her.
Next day we're both in a rather unexuberant mood, and wee Claire decides we should take the day off. She figures that if I'm 'sick' she can get away with it. So She calls in, and speaks to my assistant manager. (A rather serious young lady.) I only heard one end of the conversation, but the gist seemed to be that I wasn't coming in because she'd handcuffed me to her bed and lost the keys. Obviously she'd have to stay with me in case anything 'happened'.
We had a fine day off, with much horizontal action, but going back to work the next day was pure hell. After a day, Claire clearly decides she's had enough of being called 'the domme' so I have to organise a sideways move for her to another site, leaving me to face the flak alone. Spent a few weeks being called 'Handcuff manager' after that.
