This is a question Awesome Sickies

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?

I used to hate my last job, as I had hardly any work to do,
and was the only person from my department who worked at the local office. (Manager 250 miles away).

I never used to take sickies, but I would go in early, hang my jacket on my chair, turn my computer on, and then go out for the day, and only come back to the office if someone rang my mobile.

My favourite incident was doing DIY at home, balancing on a 2 inch joists, above a ceiling I'd just demolished, covered in plaster dust and having a mobile phone conversation with my manager, telling him I was far too busy at the moment to take any new projects on.
