I did it last week & probably should of done it today as I am as hungover as Shane McGowan after 10 bottles of Jack. Hate feeling like this in work, the horror, the horror.

You wouldn't believe the rubbish that is on TV during the day.

Try Ricky Lake. Not sure do they show Jerry Springer anymore.
Sit back and enjoy

Shane McGowan has never had a hangover, he's only in fact ever gotten drunk once, and is still goin:D... if he does get a hangover eventually, i'd like to be in a different country....

Get a tattoo. Sneak down there undercover. And you'll look genuinely in pain tomorrow so they'll believe u were sick today.

ok, edit to add... i did happen to have a couple beers last night, but nothing out of the ordinary, just happened to press the wrong button on the alarm whwn it went off!

the thoughts of daytime tv actually makes me feel sickie!! i think i might do a massive fry-up now and go fishing(while chuckiling to myself at the river).

jeez i have an almighty guilty conscience now, feel absolutley terrible about it!

After your last experience of going into work after a few beers the night before, probably for the best..

Enjoy the morning, then hop in the car at about midday, call when you're on the road saying you were feeling a bit better and didn't want to leave them stuck, and use phrases like bull through it, and flat to the mat. They'll all be singing your praises then, as the trooper that came in even when he was sick!

Works a charm!

Ah no. He might as well go the whole hog

When I was working in retail back in the day, I sometimes just used to get lazy and ring saying that I was running late or didn't have a lift and that I'd be in an hour late...boss knew I lived in the sticks so got away with it!

Only did it about twice in four years all the same!

I am enjoying my day at work today as I know I will be "sick" tomorrow


Just need the interview to go well for me to be free

Nothing wrong with throwing a sickie the odd time, I haven't done it in years tho! Just sit back and relax and watch crap on tv all day while eating you own weight in food

KBarry

You ought to keep a low profile. Don't do what I did years ago. Rang the boss to say I wouldn't be in due to sickness, went on the lash all day on a massive pub crawl, then finished off the evening in a pub that just happened to be my bosses local. He walked in to find me hanging onto the bar slightly ga-ga.

MistyCheese

How's about this for the worst ever reason to miss work? One Monday morning I couldn't find my keys. I called in to say I wouldn't be into work that day.

I found them at about 11. Still, I thought it'd be easier to pretend I'd been "sick" than to go in for the afternoon and explain that I had missed four hours of work because I couldn't find my keys!

Yes, really open to debate whether to take the Tuesday off too. If you really want to tear the arse out if it, go in looking like sh1t tomorrow morning then run for the loos at about 10am, come out quivering and perspiring and they will send you home. Then you have a guilt-free day off.:)

IF I were you I would go back to bed for sleepy time and shexy time...

Nah it's called calling in sick.

Pulling a sickie is going to the hospital to meet chicks.
