    Paid holidays? Bring it on!
    Isn't it compulsary to take a minimum of 12 sickies per year?

      Well as a permie I had a melanoma removed in the morning then got on public transport & off to work for the afternoon (in hindsight: bloody stupid, I should have gone back to bed!)

        Blimey, I had a pretty bad hangover last friday, so called in sick and stayed at home . Most expensive sick day Ive ever taken and hurt the pocket pretty bad.

        Must try to be more hardcore

          10 hash browns, pot of strong coffee, 1/2 pint of apple juice, 2 pints of Stella top and a dump and you'd be right as rain.

            Was running a temperature monday morning, two large cans of red bull and an espresso later I was driving down the M1 to work.

            Slept in my car at lunch time, and stuggled through the week

                Can you legally drive and would you be over the limit?

                If not over the limit always go to work and if you make others ill so much the better.

                    Best have the Stella after getting out of the car. Better still, take the train and get the beer off the trolley, but remember you need 2 1/2 cans to make the full 2 pints. You could always offer the other half can to they nice lady say opposite.

                      Jesus, I have gone into work in shocking states, both ill and hungover.

                      As the good man says; Hash browns, red bull, lots of pretend work and as much coffee as a man can drink.

                      It's good to find an excuse to get into the AC controlled server rooms mind.
