Yeah ... when I had my other jobs, I'd certainly rather be sick on a work day! Now it's more work to be sick than to show up and breathe on the people who got me sick.
Breathe on them, pay back! πŸ™‚

Sick days are free holidays that you don't need to pre-book, always take them 2 or 3 at a time, never apologise if your boss finds you in the pub, tell them it was purely medicinal. Always pretend you are sick on mondays/tuesdays or thursdays/fridays, this way you maximise your time away from work utilising the weekend. Always get trashed the night before returning to work, blame your general untidyness on the 'illness'.

Quite an arrogant assumption considering you don't know either how hard I work or how often I'm off sick.
I agree it is an arrogant assumption. It works the same way where I work. I am very rarely sick and only have taken days off when I have been genuinely sick. Over the past few years I have taken less than 10 days off. Last day off sick was about 6 months ago.

Although I am a firm believer that one should never lie about their health.

A fine attitude to work, comrade.

I wish there were a few more people like you where I work. There's always a constant epidemic of Monday-itis around payday and certain people seem to think they can pick what time they start and finish. My boss is too kind for his own good. 😞

Actually, I threaten to breathe on them if they misbehave. πŸ˜€ Usually I just threaten to sing. Nice to have an added weapon in my aresenal sometimes though. Variety is good. πŸ˜‰
