    My body doesn't fight anything off any quicker. It's just losing the money hurts more than whatever is ailing me so in I go.

        I think I've had one day off ever. I was in hospital for the day. Still pissed off about it.

                The funniest sickie I saw was when a permie pulled a sickie for a few days after one weekend but he had written his flight details on a Post-it note and he left it on his desk.

                  Only if you have one :P

                  Oddly thou my immune system is completely borked by the chemo I have had not had a sick day in some years (mainly because if some one is sneezing etc. I ban them from my office!)

                    I'm aching this morning. I don't think removing 10sq Metres of lawn helped - the Mrs is happy, at least we've now got somewhere to bury the neighbors.
