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?

too good to be trueI've only ever chucked one false sickie. Wanted to go away for the weekend with then significant other to try to finally knock the back out of her, and figured an extra couple of days would help enormously. I am very allergic to cats, so I stroked one of our neighbours with a hanky, and took that with me on Wednesday to work. All day looking pale and interesting, livened up with regular sniffs of allergen hanky resulting in spectacular bouts of wheezy sneezing and nasal dribbling. Took an antihistamine when I got home and spent four glorious days in a cottage on the north east coast, right as rain in front of a log fire humping for england. huzzah
on the flip side, I had to have a fortnight off last year when I stuffed my motorbike into a car - I spent a week strapped to a spinal board (again) whilst they waited for the swelling to go down enough to be able to tell me if I had fractured V3-V5 and whether I would ever move from the neck down again. Twice in 4 years, motorbikes will be the death of me!
