Quickly: How to get a mild case of food poisoning?

[Evil Knevil]

Ah, bollocks. Makes me wish I'd turned up for work.

Think I'll go for the mugging and faux glandular fever relapse, any ideas how to induce something that I could pass off as g/f?

It's just tiredness so no symptoms to fake really.

Tired mentally, muscles feel tired after not doing much physical.

I know about Glandular fever, I was hospitalised with it for ****s sakes!

It also Involves swelling of the lymph glands as well as lethargy and possible liver inflammation --I've had dark urine recently, so maybe I can use that in my favor

I need to get a sick note so I can be excused for missing a tonne of work (and not get sacked).

I figure if I go to the doctor with a mild (but obvious) sickness she'll 'realise' I'm recovering from something and give me a sick note, saving my ass.

Only problem is, how to get sick without risking my life? I suffer severe toxic reactions to samonella, so thats probably out..... Anything milder? Eggs? Running in the rain? gunpowder? cigarettes?

Please help!! Seriously, think of ways to hurt me!

wot?

are you working in chaushesku quarters?!


just tell'em you're sick.

I've had it too. I'm just talking about what it's like when you feel a bit of a relapse.

Yes, they will. Isn't that normal practice in other countries? I forget the UK is nicknamed "The sweatshop of Europe".

well i can get a day's off work if i want to, with no doctor's note

even two sometimes.


but we have a kick ass relationship with the management. they know we are crazy but they know we'll get the job done

so...

we are 3 working at my department and we are good friends so one will take up the job of the other if there is need for one "to be someplace else."

[Bereta_Eder]

unless of course we're talking about the (greek) public sector where you have to be there everyday (and do nothing)

[MikeH]

If you have more than 5 days off they can ask for a doctors note, in fact they have to by law. Less than that and you don't need one (I think)

Evil Knevil -

If you would stop posting at poly and start working, you could get the job done, and not be sick...

[Bereta_Eder]

or just post from work

[Nubclear]

I still say stress is the best way...I've missed so much work because of stress.

[Bereta_Eder]

bah, just **** it all and do the job

or if you cant/wont, think of an excuse (they'll know its fake) and risk it (for losing your job)

if you got mugged, go to the doctor and tell him that you've been afraid to go out of the house and that seeing him today was the first time since you got mugged. get him to give you something to calm you down and use both the police and the doctor to back you up at work.
