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?

Getting away with it...I work in Human Resources (Personnel to the rest of the world) and you should see some of the cases that come across my desk. One person went off sick after 9/11 (despite not knowing anyone killed etc) and then ended up getting ill health retirement because it messed him up so much. It never ceases to amaze me the amount of people who make up fake stuff and get away with it. I try to talk managers into realising that their staff are abusing the company's goodwill and that we should discipline them but no-one ever seems to have the guts. Sigh...Also rather interesting how many patently World Cup related sickies we have seen even in the first week!
