I feel sick

[ChimpMaster]

I feel tulipe too, achy all over, sore throat, absolutely no energy, can't think straight and it's defintely not man flu.

Keep billing and carry on, it's in the rules, and you'll be less of a contractor if you take the time off.

I had a bike accident once, ended up with my leg in a cast and still managed to bill through working from home in bed. I've only recently started taking holidays in contract. Yes, it was only agreed to as the wife had put up a Mexican standoff with the goods she has that I want, but normally even these are taken between contracts.

Man up.

LOL of course I'm still billing, don't be stupid!

Light-headed, tiredness, shivering, nauseous but can't throw up, a bit of a dodgy tummy, almost complete loss of appetite.

Apparently there's a bug going around.

I need a cuddle


P.S. I'm still in the office, still working and still invoicing. All hail CUK.

Sounds more like something you ate.

Yeah, it must have been the pork scratchings he had with those 10 pints.

can't throw up

You're not trying hard enough. Think of SY01 in the process of making SY06. Or stick your fingers down your throat.

sounds like a normal morning to me.

I woke up one day once, and I didnt feel like that. back in '98 I think it was

On a slightly related note, a few years back I felt like I had a really bad chest cough and phoned the client to tell them I wouldn't be in that day but would definitely be in the day after.
About 30 minutes later my wife was calling an ambulance for me

Chicken.

You should have gone into work and simply sat there, stiff upright. (Hint: Remember the Kipper sketch in Fawlty Towers? Be the guy in bed - except make sure your wife has put your final invoice in your top pyjama pocket.)

Have you gone Permie?

Contractors are never sick (it says so in the terms and conditions you were given with your badge and gun.)

The t&c's don't say that at all. What they do say is that a contractor should never admit to or give the impression of being sick
