Im still off, cant remember ever taking a whole week off sick but I think its going to happen. Ive been sick for a few days before and taken a week just for the sake of it but never actually been sick for a week.

I was off last month for a week through food poisoning. Bloody hate taking time off as we dont get paid when off sick which is a bummer!!

I used to work at Orange many years ago and they had a great policy which paid sick days, in fact ya were paid a max of 21 sick days per year. Well that was open to abuse I can tell ya. Not only did ya get 4 weeks hols a year but a further 21 days Sick!

Thats been the setup in the last two places I've worked mate. 3 strike rule, anything more than 3 strikes of sickness and questions would start to get asked, a strike could be a day or a week or more.

No ones going to take a strike for 1 days worth of sickness, might as well stay home for a week.

lol, Yea Orange did change their policy when France Telecom bought them, and they introduced the 3 strike rule, thats when I ended up leaving

Well 4 days in and I still feel like shit, the blisters in the tache area have ensured that I also look like shit too so its all good

Missing out on a work curry tonight, was sure to be a good source of material for standup so Im a bit pissed about that.

Are the Coldsores ya have, they can be painfull when touched like, not nice !

Question begs if it is coldsore's, who's dirty muff have ya been licking

Missy

No not cold sores, right up by me nostril but spread a little down into the tache. I've had it before when I've had a proper runny nose and Ive been constantly dabbing away at it, think its just the friction.

That hasnt happened this time though, I havent had a streaming nose at all, its as if my bodies gone 'well you're feeling shit, you might as well have the lurgy on your face'

Use softer olbus tissues.

I don't want to know about your facial herpes.

Memphis has Aids face.

Went back up the docs today, seems I've gone from having a virus of some kind and walked straight into a chest infection. Signed off work for the rest of the week, gutted

Sounds like you have a Bilbo thing going on. Good on you for getting a week off. Sounds fair enough.

Even better, keep at it Memphis.

I fuckin hate taking days off sick, I doubt I'm in to double figures since I started working...and one of those was in a job when my leaving do was on a Wednesday night, and I still had to work Thursday (well skipped thursday) and Friday.

I pretty much am exclusively D&V or one of those two components when I'm off sick. I do love my meat to be juicy and a little under done, so I've no doubt that at least two if not three were self inflicted.

Keep it up Memphis.

Dont get me wrong I am bored, I've downloaded a moody copy of Rosetta Stone language packs, Spanish, German, French, Mandarin, Italian and Japanese, thats how bored I am.

Ordinarilly I would have been back at work by now but Ive been shat on at work so Im not feeling particularly charitable, Im playing this one by the book, Ive been signed off so Im off, end.....
