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?

when sickies are true and 300 years oldWorked in a call centre. A colleague rang up to say he was off ill with.... scurvy.
'How come you're lied low with a seventeenth century sailor's disease mikey? You're talking bollocks aren't you?'
He wasn't. He lived with his parents and didn't pay any rent, so he consequently had some rather bizarre spending habits. One of them was buying the same pizza from the same take-away for his tea EVERY NIGHT OF THE WEEK.
Vitamin C deficiency. Off for two weeks. Apparently if he'd left it another couple of weeks his eyes would have started to bleed.
