Eh no ... He came on specifically to
1. Tell us he is pulling a sicky (this is such a crucial part of the equation he felt it be essay to title the thread based on it)
and
2. Where can he play golf while he's off
Presumably people can express their
Opinion on either 1 or 2. Otherwise just tell us
you're interested in playing golf tomorrow and spare us
the irrelevant, tiresome reasons you happen to be off.
Agree,
If you come on and are deliberately provocative here, you will get it back. I have, we all do.
It is not our fault that people who pull sickies are failures in life.
But , there are a 100,000 people who would take that job and not go sick.
Anyway, it is his own life, but it catches up with you in the end that craic. Bet you he lost 5 balls and hit a tree and hit his head and ended up in A+E in Beaumont with a golf ball in his eye socket. Guess who is sitting next to him in A+E, the girlfriend of his bosses son, who is fit and fancied him until he looks like a cyclops with PROV 1x as one eye.
He happened to work as an eye model and now his work is limited to horror golf movies, this work is very limited. But there is talk of nightmare on Sillogue Golf links, staring "The running balance". He now plays golf on his many days off, he can not line up a put for **** and randomly shouts "fore" even when the ball is going straight down the middle.
Day1 of Nightmare on Silogue shooting.
Canceled due to sick leave.
Sorry all, it is Christmas.

This thread is gone wildly off topic ..! But anyway ..
In relation to your comment FdP, their is a whole lot of that type of comment going around these days. Things like "your lucky to have a job" and "thousands of people would take that job" are being spurted from mouths all over the country. It's obviously a sign of the times but it begs the question whats more important, quality of life or just having a job.
I know plenty of people in jobs getting raped up the arse because of the current economic climate. People being forced to work excessive hours for little pay and in terrible conditions. As soon as anyone mentions that they are unhappy with the situation , out come the guilt tripping one liners. People have no idea what people put up or have to endure in the work place. I could rant on a bit but basically the current economic climate is being abused to the detriment of peoples quality of life.
In regard to sick days, obviously you are not meant to lie about being sick but it's getting harder and harder to define sick. Recently I have had to encourage 3 people to take a sick day, one person working in hospitality after 2 weeks of coughing and spluttering with no let up and still persisting to show up, I had to sit him down and ask him what was going on, the answer was understaffed and can't do without me, after two weeks of showing up sick I finally got him to take a day off.
Another person working shifts doing and extra hour a day and a Saturday was in a routine of pretty much bed work bed work, obviously shattered and not themselves at all, poor mood and hints of depression. Everyone telling them how lucky the were in their great job also..! A couple of days off and it was like talking to a different person..
Their have been lots of articles written of recent years about working conditions in Ireland and by in large they have refereed to the fact that Irish worker generally work longer hours in harder conditions, productivity might be questionable, but their is a reason for the disproportionate amount of sick days taken by the country's workforce.
I don't know the Op's situation but because of the mention of a sick day I think the OP sounded like he was excited about the prospect, not just proud of the fact he was doing it.
You really have to ask the question "whats more important"? .. I think we know the answer , Golf of course ..!

Good post,
I agree the situation is being exploited , these are the same guys who slag off unions on the radio. It suits them to pay staff **** and keep a place open all hours at min wage. Also during the good years they did not pay all their tax, all the cash tricks and two cash registers and no PRSI and tax scams and property scams, it goes on and on and on.
Back to Golf. Won't go there again. Makes my head boil.0 -

Other end of spectrum........ In the office i work i timed a colleague every time he went for a smoke between 9.30 and 5.30...................total time spent smoking 1hr 17min.
Pulling a sickie for golf is fine looking at this.
It one of the only perks of smoking, if took this away their would be know point smoking at all...
Imagine the harm it would do, all the money lost in tax, the Euro would definitely collapse then... 0 -

lol,
you were not too busy yourself.
What if the guy who is pulling a sickie is a smoker too.
I remember doing a course with a couple of Americans, they were giving out about the time keeping ,
This Irish lad about 20 stone turned around and said " It's not my fault I have to have a smoke and a crap every break".
:D
Sorry , back to golf.0 -
