I'd had some painful surgery in the region of my coccyx
which had left me with a painful wound not a million miles from my arsehole. Work had arranged for someone to cover for me while I was recuperating on the grounds that I couldn't actually sit down at my desk, but as it turned out the replacement was a bit useless and so a couple of days later I got a call - was there any way I could come in and carry on?

I said I'd see what I could do and after a bit of experimentation discovered that if I put down some of the cushions from the sofa in reception and knelt on them in front of my desk, I could achieve a reasonably comfortable position and carry on working. Which I did, until two days later when my boss* came in and said: "Can you not kneel on the sofa cushions? I'm worried you might crease them."

I went back home for a few more days' sick leave instead.

*Who is, indirectly, something of a household name, so I can't go into too many details about him

Had one removed
The op wasn't so bad. The weeks of an open wound healing was unpleasant and stank

I don't miss the daily visits to the local surgery to have a nurse pack and dress the wound at all
