    The more permies you infect, the more days off they will take, so one way or another the more work there will be for contractors to hit the deadlines!.

        Sleep and plenty of water man. And some more sleep when possible.

          I heard claiming JSA was a good cure. Though not as good as selling a broken TV.....

                    Not pulling a sickie though. Got a pretty good record - one sick day in 5 years. And I was in hospital for the day.

                    Its friday so only one day to suck it up. Out of interest, the rest of you, how ill do you have to be to not show up at client?

                    I suppose at some point, as I get older, I'm beginning to think if I'm ill to not be so dense and take time off.

                    BTW - I'm not signing on today before someone mentions it!
                    In 11 years of contracting I've never had a day off. Its weird I used to get sick all the time when I was a permie but since it now costs to be off my body seems to fight off pretty much everything fairly quickly. Hope I've not cursed it now

                      Just gone permie. I intend to use up all 10 sick days this year. Inviting PC round to dinner should cause a few.....
