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?

Faked a heart attackAlso remembered that during one exceptionally boring media lesson at college, I decided that I could probably fake I was feeling ill if I thought about it hard enough. Spent 10mins or so putting on that 'ooh, I'm not feeling good' face and when my tutor walked past I casually mentioned I wasn't feeling great and could I go home. She looked a little concerned for me and asked what the matter was, and it was pretty clear she was going to let me go home anyway, so I went for the most ridiculous thing I could think of just to see if she'd believe it.
"I'm having a weird heart palpatation, it runs in my family, nothing to worry about, I just need to lie down for a while".
She shit herself and was about to call an ambulance, but I told that was fine and I'd be alright without one. And the college paid for a taxi for me home!
I knew I should've pursued that acting career.
