    Heroin - How many days do you lose?

    I'll be binging on smack over the weekend.

    From experience, how many days do you think I'll need off if I OD?

    The Internet talks about 1-2 weeks but that's for permie trash. Can a tough con (zero time off sick in 40 years) crawl back into work the next day?

      If they don't Adrenaline into you quick enough you can take forever off.

        Heroin?

        All discerning contractors use only the finest grade Columbian marching powder.

        Its got to be at least £100 a gram....

          When I was contracting I had a tumour removed from my hip and spent a week in hospital. Got discharged on Friday and was back in work and billing on the Monday before the lucozade had gone flat.

            OD? Man up!
            Although there is a bit of sexism in the workplace. For lady contractors it is only acceptable to "go powder my nose", while men are allowed to shoot up into their eyeballs at their desk.
            I make sure that it's in all my contracts. Section 26 paragraph 5.

                Speedballs? Wouldn't touch them. Last time I saw them on the open market was in a brothel in the Philippines being taken off the belly of a woman who was complaining that her husband spends all day working in IT and all night on the Internet.
