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?

a guy who was in the department i used to be jointly in charge ofhe needed one monday off, badly, unfortunately he'd forgotten to tell personnel so he wasn't going to get it. MOnday morning i get a phone call: "sorry he won't be in, he's ill". the obvoius answer pops into my head and i set about badmouthing him to all the guys i work with, come thursday when he's back at work after a trip up north(i already knew about this) he tells me he couldn't come in because... he'd gone to thorpe park on the sunday and hurt his back badly on one of the rides.
in those 3 days, he admitted, he'd not taken painkillers for it or seen a doctor but was in a lot of pain and could he be excused from a lot of the work!
apologies for length
