Just wanted to know what you guys would say ( hypothetically of course) if you were to take a sickday, say for aruments sake, tomorrow?
It's not that I am going to use it, it's strictly research.
I have heard all the usual illnesses/ injuries, I've got my period, my dick is stuck in my zipper etc. I was thinking more along the lines of some sort of crisis.

Got a headache.

Gold, I know.

"Hey boss, I'm not feeling well today, I'm going to stay home"

He won't care since I am not a slack fuck worker who takes sickies all the time for no reason.

Cancer

diarrhea

no one wants to talk about diarrhea

but yes what shad said is true as well

Well I've been on a sickie for 2 months now and should still be off for another 2 months. My manager thinks I'm putting it on, even though I'm having surgery in two weeks.

Yeh I have them so rarely that I just text and say I'm sick see you tomorrow. I've only ever had sickies when I've been rough from some midweek bender and once when I ate some bad mushrooms.

Yeah I haven't had a sick day for over a year, mainly because I have such a guilty conscience.
If I were to take one tomorrow it would probably be because I have a visitor who I haven't seen for a long time and we would probably be about to go out for a few, hypothetically of course.

Sausage roll in the eye.

Family emergency, just leave it at that and they probably won't care you don't have a doctors note etc.

bad kebab

Well I don't throw sickies, but a couple times I've not been able to tell them why I can't come so I've had to go with "I'm not coming."

stress leave; may be bisexual

yeah never had to have an excuse before, just I won't be able to go in, have organised with 2IC as to what is happening tomorrow and what I expect, and I can catch up on blah on blah, blah day.

"Hey boss, I'm not feeling well today, I'm going to stay home"

He won't care since I am not a slack fuck worker who takes sickies all the time for no reason.

Same for me. I usually make it a bit more fun, like "Hey boss, I can't come out to play today."

"CBF getting up. Reading a book. You'll survive without me."

dont turn up for 2 days, say you got busted for an outstanding parking fine. had to spend a night in the lock up and then wait for a magistrate the next morning. Used your one call (which is true, u get one call) to call you mate to bail you out.

yeah i think i've chucked 2 sickies in the 3.5 years i've worked where i am, just said i'm sick and i haven't had to put on a sick voice because both times i was so ridiculously hung over it wasn't funny (or worth going in)

Went out for dinner and ended up with a slight case of food poisoning is probably the easiest one if you want a one off. Unfortunately these days I can't afford to have any time off even if I am sick, worst case i work from home.

I take one in a blue moon but we loose our bonus for taking one. I just rock up the next day and if no one has noticed me gone I rewind the time clock machine and punch in yesterdays times. Easy....
