Not having a sickie is proving a bad idea. Making me worse if anything. Hey yo off lunchtime to take a daty or two off.

And in other news, the sun will rise tomorrow.

Then the rest of the staff are safe. Unless he works with MP.

Bugger off

If you're too sick for work, you're too sick to post on CUK.

Remember one permie I worked with was off for months with a bad back - 6 months or something. He had a visit arranged with HR to his home and he'd forgotten.

So, of course, HR manager turned up outside and watched him landscaping his garden, digging, lugging stuff around all sorts. I remember he kept the 6 months pay but got asked to resign which I though he got off likely.

I'd imagined you'd have one of those auto-firing guns from Aliens.

Apparently that’s against the rules, I have to settle for a pair of nerf guns!

... I ban them from my office!)

I'm aching this morning. I don't think removing 10sq Metres of lawn helped - the Mrs is happy, at least we've now got somewhere to bury the neighbors.

Anyway, an occasional cold is good for the immune system.

Only if you have one :P

Oddly thou my immune system is completely borked by the chemo I have had not had a sick day in some years (mainly because if some one is sneezing etc. I ban them from my office!)

The funniest sickie I saw was when a permie pulled a sickie for a few days after one weekend but he had written his flight details on a Post-it note and he left it on his desk.

ClientCo still celebrates the anniversary as Productivity Day.

aren't you confusing that with the day they fired you?

[Old Greg]

I think I've had one day off ever. I was in hospital for the day. Still pissed off about it.

Just gone permie. I intend to use up all 10 sick days this year. Inviting PC round to dinner should cause a few.....

10 Brillo? And the rest mun!

[psychocandy]

In 11 years of contracting I've never had a day off. Its weird I used to get sick all the time when I was a permie but since it now costs to be off my body seems to fight off pretty much everything fairly quickly. Hope I've not cursed it now
