    When's the last time you pulled a sickie from work or school?

    I'm doing it today and tomorrow and it's so awesome. :D I've never pulled a sickie from work before coz I'm a good girl like that ( :tongue: ), however I have a really important interview tomorrow that I want to focus on. But that's tomorrow... so what fun things should I do today? :D Here's my list..

    Sleep til very late - check
    Have a spliff for breakfast - check :D
    Watch crap daytime TV like Jeremy Kyle - about to!

    Feel free to add other lazy stuff on this list, thanks.

    To each their own, but I would feel guilty. I'm friends with the people I work with and they'd sure be pissed at me if I made their job harder.

    Yeah I feel guilty, I did it once but it was because I needed to get my head straight - I lost a lot of confidence in my job and needed time to get sorted! Otherwise I would have cracked! But my work needs a certain number of people each shift so I feel bad at being late or anything! Only usually call in sick if I am close to dying!

    last time was a friday 6-7 weeks ago, working from noon - 8pm. couldn't be fucked going so I did pretty much what you're doing today :)

    I used to be very calculating with my sickies though. every now and then I'd call in sick for the rest of the week wednesday morning, then just get high, watch movies and play video games and proceed to party on the weekend.

    I only did it a couple of times as a kid

    BUT I did sometimes tend to make out that my asthma attacks were a lot worse than they were, usually during PE :)

    Haven't played hookie in a while, I just use all my crap loads of vacation I have...And use my sick time for when I am actually sick... Unless I want to take the day off to go whore like I usually do and then that's when I play sick...

    last september. I called in and told my boss I had fallen and sprained my ankle bad. crying on the phone and the whole bit. well, sounding like it anyway. took 2 days off. I went to the pagan festival and out to eat, got bombed with my friends, and used the extra day to recover.

    I call in sick at least monthly.
    I would like to add smoke more and make cake batter and eat it.

    Monthly? :eek: Impressive!

    Check on the smoke more bit. :D Making cake batter is an awesome idea, however that would require moving my lazy ass to the kitchen and that's just a bit too hardcore for me right now. :tongue: I am however munching on a maple and pecan slice, yumyum.

    And I don't even feel quilty anymore. :H

    Oh yes. Sometimes I say my dog is sick and I can't come in. Sometimes I am so convincing of my sick issue that I convince myself and then have to remind myself that i was lying and I am not really sick nor is my dog.

    mmmmmm maple pecan....

    My boss calls in every week. At my last job I called in about every other month and was salary and worked like 55 hours a week so it didn't really matter as long as I was availibleon the radio.

    I really don't like structure. I like to make my own schedule. i really hope I get this job I am interviewing for onFriday.
