This is a question Awesome Sickies

A colleague has been off work for two weeks now - apparently he's got something they can't diagnose, (although they know for sure it's not Legionnaires, Malaria, BSE or AIDS, he's supposedly in isolation). We are all sure he's merely sitting in the sun waiting for the World Cup to come on the telly.

What have you invented to get off work?

Disappearing black eye
My mum used to work as a Receptionist, and the temps they used to send to help her out were all complete twunts. One, however, somehow managed to stay on permanently.

I went home for 5 weeks before going travelling, and this girl never worked more than a few days combined the whole time. She lied about funerals, illnesses, family problems and car crash accidents, including a black eye which magically disappered overnight. She never threw a sickie herself, and instead chose various members of her dysfunctional family to call my mum with various conflicting stories, as well as occasionally roping in her thick-as-pig-shit boyfriend to cover up her tracks. She usually just went shopping.

Her most lengthy lie was when she lied about possibly having polycystic ovarian syndrome. For weeks, she complained about stomach cramps and vomiting and eventually 'had to be hospitalised'.

Although my mum knew this was a bunch of crud, she had to play along. After a few weeks, the site manager wanted to sent the stupid bint some flowers and when they rang up the hospital, they found out she was in a completely different ward than she originally claimed, and was actually staying in the maternity ward.

She returned to announce that she was pregnant, and seemed to forget all of her other illnesses and operations she claimed to have had. So she then left on maternity leave and is for some reason still considered a valued member of staff.

She nearly gave my poor mum a nervous breakdown with her constant lying and backstabbing, so I hope something VERY VERY BAD happens to her one day.

Thankyou please.
