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?

Nosebleeds + substitute teachersThis isn't really me throwing a sickie, more like someone throwing a sickie for me.
So, up until a few Christmasses ago, I had never had a nosebleed IN MY LIFE. Never. And suddenfly, for about 4 months I was constantly having them.
Anyway, one day in school, i was in a german lesson, and we had this supply teacher who everyone hated. She was Austrian, it was hard to understand what she was saying and she bollocked everyone for no reason.
Anyway, on come the nosebleeds. I asked if I could go to the toilets to wash up. So, as I'm walking down the corridor, some guy I know comes walking after me. He told me to wait up, and I asked what he was doing out of the lesson. He replied 'I told her that I should go with you incase you died of blood loss', which I found pretty funny.
But the REALLY cruel part is that we found out a couple of days later that this supply teacher's son is a haemophiliac! (for those who don't know, that's a condition where your blood can't clot easily, and bleeding just doesn't stop)
