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?

Only a few
Was off work for 5 days without notifying anyone, got called into the office on my return and said I had been to France the previous weekend and been arrested for mistaken identity! They bought it mind.

Had 2 weeks off, said I was coughing up blood, and advised work that it was due to a crap saucepan where the Teflon was peeling away it mixed with my food and had cut me internally!

Worked on a cruise liner in Germany, had deliveries one day and was so hung-over, got a call after a few hours from one of my bosses, and told him I was in my cabin being sick and felt really unwell. Very understanding and he gave me the day off, however unbeknownst to him, 6 hours earlier I had walked off ship in Cologne and was on a train back to England as couldn't be arsed anymore and when I spoke to him I was in Belgium.

Oh the shame!
