"And if you must go to work tomorrow,
Well if i were you i wouldn't bother.
For there are brighter sides to life,
and i should know because I've seen them,
but not very often."

If I was to suggest that we all pull a sickie tomorrow, what could we get up to? What would happen because we didn't turn up to work?

Would would we find out about the world that we would usually miss due to being stuck at work?

Do you reckon we could come up with any excuses that would last more than a day and let us have some fun away from work for a few days?

What are me and you going to do on our sickie? Are we going to see the brighter side to life?

(cough, cough, hah hah)

I once used the excuse that I'd found a dead body on my doorstep. But I was terribly depressed at the time and couldn't bare to go in. I can't believe I used it... I must've been desparate. The best thing to do on a sickie is things you shouldn't. It's as simple as that.

Marathon PS2 sesh! Or Gamecube (as I have recently acquired one and am now addicted to Metroid Prime)... or... Watch an entire series of Alias! Or... Do a whole book of sudoku! Or... Catch up on all those daytime soaps + antique-y progs + house-y progs you lost track of! Or... Read an entire Bond novel and sing the theme tune whenever something dramatic happens! Or... See how many posts you can do on ABCtales.com before getting thrown off! :-) * P * :-)

Watch series 1 and 5 of Inspector Morse on DVD, cook a curry, clean the bathroom, listen to music... I had lots of experience having lost 5 weeks sick this year. Three of those I was in hospital for though.

Because I work from home, I don't get sickies - just angry bosses. It really sucks, actually. I've been genuinely ill the last few weeks but I can't help feeling everyone thinks I'm faking it. I guess it's my karma for being crap at deadlines in the past... *sigh*
