    Time off ill

    One of the benefits of using us contractor types is less time taken off sick.

    What's the least or most time off you have taken for illness?

    My story is when I snapped my shin and dislocated my foot.

    Accident was at 9pm Monday night playing 5-a-side with clientco premies...put foot back in place myself then off to A&E

    They kept me in hospital and operated on Thursday afternoon...plated and pinned...I was discharged Friday afternoon and back working at clientco Monday morning

    6 weeks later a permy at clientco hurt his knee playing football and took 4 months off!

      Never taken more than 2 days off as a contractor. Took 6 days off with man flu as a permie. Well actually it was proper flu.

        Knock first as I might be balancing my chakras.

                Three weeks off with this, two weeks of it waiting for it. It's my ICD!

                Three week beard too!
