A 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?

Once claimed "family issues" which I then refused to talk about (rumours abounded that my parents were dead/dying) in order to get a week off work so that I could do a higher payed/easier job that was going for a week.
It all went to plan until they asked my girlfriend (who worked in the same building) what had happened and not being in on the plan (but knowing nothing was wrong) panicked and said that my parents were both mortally ill.
I never went back to that job in the end so I never had to face the sympathy etc
