Haha, yeah.
Better than my original plan: "I can't come to work because THE UNIVERSE HATES ME".

I once had someone on my team who didn't show up for a week.
Their excuse?

'They forgot'

Yeap, it was a 9-5 Monday thru Friday job. A job they'd had for a few months, but they 'forgot' to go to work for a week.

You see, I'm not that bad.
Yesterday, before the KarmaAIDS struck, my dad came round with cough syrup and lemsip and vitamins and stuff and made me take them. Today I'm ill. Coincidence?

If you are ill, but able to go to work.
Go on and show them you're ill.

Then go home!

My dad's my boss
He also saw me today. He came to check I was alive because I wasn't answering my phone.

Thankfully he was too concerned with feigning parental concern than looking at the stuff I had lying around my room :/

Is it his pub?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 16 Jan 2011, 2:18, Reply)

Yeah. Hence the feeling very guilty thing.
He doesn't believe I have problems though, despite massive evidence to the contrary.

And he booked a U2 cover band?
Have you called Childline?

He's my dad, but he's got appalling taste in music.
Plus, I tried and they said I was too old and I was to grow up, piss off, and stop wasting their time.

Sadface.

Why not offer to book the bands yourself?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 16 Jan 2011, 2:31, Reply)

I do find some
It's up to him though, he's been doing it for years. Plus, the regulars like the same guff as him. Am excited though, my friend's band is back next month. Massive perving opportunities and good music. Win.

Does the pub do food as well?

( JeffTheDogFucker Can you dig it?, Sun 16 Jan 2011, 2:40, Reply)

No, fuck that shit.
Pubs that do food are WANK. Unless you want pub grub. But I'd never go drinking in one.
