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?

Poor doggyOnce needed an evening off to attend a Wedding do (as I knew both Bride and Groom from work, and really wanted to attend). I had the afternoon off due to me split-shift pattern, so I could attend the Wedding ok. Work, however, thought that that was good enough for me and wouldn't let me get this night off for the do afterwards.
So....I attend the Wedding ok, then as I'm leaving for the do I ring HR in work saying that I got home from the wedding and shockingly found my 10 year old Labrador/Rotweiler (called Ben) haemorrhaging through his nose in the back garden. After two mins of spinning the yarn that I'm covered in dogs blood and on the way to the vets to try and save him, I'm well onto the way of the party.
Got pissed too, thanks Ben :)
PS Next day I went to work; cue all the HR team asking me what happened and if Ben's ok. Told them in detail as to how my dog had ruptured the dry skin of his nose, and needed stitches to stop the major bleeding. Soft twunts :D
