Raining_again Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Fake it and make yourself look really sick. pale down the makeup (but not obviously so) rub your eyes a bit to make em a little red, and pretend to sneeze lots. Worked for me :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S.C.G Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 ^^^ Definitely sounds like a plan... I say 'doo eeet!' as well, you've worked damn hard for that place Becky and all you're asking is to take Saturday off so you can share it with Pat who's planned you something special. So yeah, sod work! it'll still be there on Monday and as far as they are concerned you're ill and it's not like they can prove otherwise... and if you want to go the extra mile then pretend to be sick in the toilet at work because if you've vomited then your place of work should legally make sure that you're not working around food for 72 hours... That's the way it's done where I am anyway but I believe that it should apply to anywhere where food is being prepared, worth a try anyway.

EEVILMURRAY Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 WITH RED! I have to say, thinking about this has made me laugh several times. Even if that bloke has defected to some computer company. I still have a few issues with the advert though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wesley Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'd go to work. In this type of working climate I wouldn't want to piss off people who could fire my ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashley Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'd go to work. In this type of working climate I wouldn't want to piss off people who could fire my ass. 1) Too late 2) The staff have already done far worse 3) She has a new job lined up for September All in all, go team bluey!

Fierce_LiNk Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'd go to work. In this type of working climate I wouldn't want to piss off people who could fire my ass. That's one fear I definitely would have had. But, as Ashmonger says, if she's got something else lined up, then I guess maybe she could afford to be a little bit cheeky. Hehehe.

Wesley Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Ah okay, if you had a job lined up then that's a little different. I remember the few weeks before I went to university I pulled loads of dumb stuff at work and not worrying about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
