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?

Back Problems...Trying to get days off a few years ago was a bit of a bugger. I would continually put requests in and never get them. So when it was time for the annual cricket club dinner, I went for the final resort and phoned in. I said I had hurt my back and wasn't able to come in until the middle of next week. Just to be on the safe side, I made a doctors' appointment. After a weekend of mass drunkenness, I made my way to the doctors. After sitting down, the GP examined my back and said "don't like that area there son, I'm going to send you off for x-rays". Hmmm. Went off to the hospital, got x-rayed and within a week was being told that I had worn discs in my back and was being prescribed anti-inflammatories and physiotherapy. I never went for the physio as I was struggling to fit the time in, but that apparently is only a matter of time...
