phoning in sick

[electrogirl]

i stop off when i ain't sick and go in when i am. ludicrous, mad-cap, fucking INSANIA!!!!!!!!!!!!! but thats me all over - i fuck with the fucking system, i'm dangerous dolly

yeah man, if i am proper sick and need time off, i see it as a wasted sick day, iyswim.

 

[dolly's gal]

if i want to phone in sick i convince myself that conveniently, i genuinely am sick.

then i feel less bad.

absolutely.

although you have to sound proper chipper on the phone! none of this speaking in a croaking hushed near deaths door kinda thang. double bluff the mofos! sound like you're on the way to the races or somesuch - vomiting bug is soooo last decade

 

[ethel]

well. i've now come down with the full blown lurgy

 

[ChrisFilter]

Been off work all week already. dragging myself in today, but still feel properly crap. might turn round at Victoria.

 

[keithy]

I'm off and I feel guilty because it's blatantly me that's made myself ill and my boss knows it because she gave me a couple of days off the other week to sort myself out... and i'm still fucking up. Idiot.

Same here.

Going into work for a half day.

Still feel a bit shit, but have shit loads to do.

 

[ethel]

Still feel a bit shit, but have shit loads to do.

aye, i have a two hour commute each way. i really can't face it

 

[Relahni]

Oh bollocks to that, I'd stay in bed if I had four hours of travelling in front of me.

I'm really lucky. It takes me 9 minutes on the tube to get to work. 30 minutes if I walk.

 

[dolly's gal]

i have texted a sick but will call at 9 also...

 

[ChrisFilter]

Turned back towards home. I've gone from feeling shit, but manageable, to death warmed up in an hour.

 

[dolly's gal]

death warmed up eh?? i think this is what i shall say on the phone to el boss

 

[ChrisFilter]

Sometimes it's the best saying.

 

[dolly's gal]

Sometimes it's the best saying.

literally just said it now - worked a treat

 

[chegrimandi]

fucks sake

 

[ddraig]

just rang in again! had a weird and uncomfortble night

to all the martyrs - no one is indispensible init, if your work can't cope then it's up to them to sort it out not you, unless you work for yourself of course

 

[5t3IIa]

I'm in today, all happy. Feel like a different person to yesterday thank god

 

[AllStarMe]

im still off ill and still feel exceptionally guilty about it.

still as my mother pointed out, no one will thank me if i go in when im still ill and spread flu round the office just in time for christmas.
she also pointed out that if im still ill i wont be allowed to my nan and grandads on christmas day, as my nans still trying to shake off a coldy chest infection she's had since september.
both of those points made me feel slightly better about not being in work
