Absenteeism
February 19, 2009 – 2:47 pm by CathWell that’s a fitting first entry to my duvet day dictionary isn’t it, hm? Fitting because there’s nothing more scabrous than someone who throws a sickie just because they can’t face another meeting with the bearded consultant who’s charging £2000 a day to tell you that there’s no I in ‘team’.
Of course, the word scabrous doesn’t apply to you. After all, you are geinuinely in need of RnR. In fact you are also genuinely in need of being sofa bound with a family pack of Jaffa Cakes and episode 47 of Diagnosis Murder.
Your colleagues aren’t though. No, they think they are but they aren’t. What they’re in need of is a kick up the arse. What’s all this crap about doctors appointments and school sports days? And since when did having to wheel your elderly mother into bypass surgery constitute a reason fit for carer’s leave? And you thought that throwing a sickie was pushing it? You mean you might actually go into work and mix with these slackers?
Look, save yourself a pinch of dignity and stay at home. Loose Women is on in a minute and you wouldn’t want to miss Coleen Nolan banging on about thigh chaffe would you?
