i need an excuse...i think tummy bug sounds ok to get me 2 days off doesnt it?

but otherwise, tummy bug is probably fine, or also feeling dizzy and sick is a good one.
nowt they can do about it but tummy bug sounds OK. There is alot of it going about.
A little suss, at my work place alram bells would be ringing, but if you still got sick days left to use, then they can't really do that much about it, but it may cause problems in the future.
do places give you sick days? i thought it was just a case you were sick and therefore cant go into work? i never knew you could get an allowance
But I don't think being up all night is a real excuse
i really cant walk, my knee is stuck!
Hey. I'm not your boss. You don't have to try and convince me
But yes, if you are going to do it then say it is gastroenteritis.
Man, that's unlucky!
Sickness and diarrhea is the best bet, they never ask any questions because it's not a nice subject...and they'd never ask you to "come in anyway" (which has happened to me the odd time when I've phoned in with a headache or similar).
Always the best skiving excused.
Have you guys seen our 'Throw a sickie' E-card? Check it out here
of course the fact that the day before I had been in the office continously from 8:30am until midnight doing some emergency work - and getting home around 1am no one ever dared question me... espacially when at the time I wasn't even getting paid for the extra hour 6.5 hours after 5:30pm
two words- women's problems - unless you work for someone who is likely to ask "tits or fanny" (courtesy of Jimmy Carr)
That's just wrong - you should complain about this...
I got a doctors note last year for "lethargy" when I had time off but they can use that word when you don't want to be too specific as to what is actually wrong with you.
ah it wasnt holiday days, it was just my days off this week. they took them away cos someone is on holiday. they didnt ask me if i minded which fucked me off! and i have to work all next week, x-mas eve, x-mas day, boxing day and the week after x-mas with only 1 day off so i think im entitled to pull a sicky!
i do love my work but they totally take advantage sometimes, if they'd asked me if i minded covering the shifts it'd be differnt!
It was but it was a number of years ago and that company went bust soon after I left!!
Fighting. Plenty of evidence when you walk in black and blue :yes:
Used that as an excuse for missing an exam last week (9am and hadn't studied).
They asked for medical certification...so now i have to go and see the uni GP when it's evident from one look at me..."rules are rules" :rolleyes:
I have a long list of other excuses. Weddings & dodgy kebabs are among my favourites.
Yeah, I have done. Though if I have another day off I get a "letter of concern". Oops!
