    So-called Swine Flu victim….

    Lazy colleague at work, often conveniently ill on Friday afternoons booked Friday to Monday off for Lattitude last week, only needing Friday off as was back home on Sunday.

    Called us on Monday morning cancelling her holiday declaring swine flu, so changing to sick day banking holiday and off sick for the rest of the week.

    Call me a cynic, but, sounds very convenient being well enough for a weekend break to suddenly get ill when due to come back to work!

    She is now back in the office. I am not worried one iota about getting the pandemic as I know full well she has pulled a fast one!

    Any other ‘swine flu’ scams?

        40% of all sick days are either side of the weekend. It's a disgrace.
        Down with racism. Long live miscegenation!

            Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? - Epicurus

              Ive just taken the rest of the day off sick.

              Been in a conference room for three days with a load of people, all of a sudden after lunch, got a sudden rise of temperature, headache, sore throat and fever.

              Decided to come out of the room and pop home for an hour.

              Havent been back for the rest of the day and now in bed

                F*** all wrong with you. Two paracetamol, back to work within the hour.

                  The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                    Yes of course. But Im perm at the moment, so frankly Im dying and would be rude of me infect the whole building. If I was contracting, I would have stayed in the room and the next day, been the only one still there!
