I get ill a lot, I think I'm off for 2-3 days every quarter with cold or flu. I don't know what's wrong with me but I get it really easily and it always goes straight to my sinuses and gives me a bad fever which knocks me right off my feet.
I've only pulled fake sickies a couple of times. I was a temp when I was younger and called in sick for 2 days while I was in Amsterdam. Of course I got sick while I was out there so it looked more believable when I got back!
Current work I called in sick on a Friday and Monday saying I had flu, but actually I was hammering it around Knockhill racetrack and the North Coast of the Highlands and surprisingly the weather was glorious. Quality sickie.
