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?

Pulled a sickie..I got asked to work Friday and Saturday of my usually only Saturday job. Friday night til 10.30pm, but then they asked if i could work the early shift the next day. "Yeah, sure, no worries". Then they told me i had to be in at 6am. Ok, fine, few hours sleep and I'll be ok and fuck it I needed the money.
Shame I decided to go to a party as soon as I finished work on Friday and proceeded to get ridiculously drunk.
Instead of ringing up and faking I was ill, I decided in a very pissed state that I would still go in to work anyway. I;d be the only one there until 8am or so, giving me enough time to sober up. Wrong. Turned up and my boss was there looking at me swaggering into work still wearing my work clothes from yesterday.
I managed to come up with some bullshit excuse about not being able to sleep last night, and had stayed up all night. My boss, bless her, just said "You fucking idiot, go home, i'll sign your timesheet to say you were here all day". Stoked, got away with it! As I was walking out ready to enjoy a day of slobbing on the sofa, I hear my boss call out to me "GOOD PARTY LAST NIGHT THEN?"
Fuck it, I still got paid for being pissed.
