Time off work excuses!
10 Answers
I have been offered 2 weeks work and it pays �2000 - unfortunately I cannot get this time as annual leave but I cannot pass up the opportunity either. What illness can I report to the doc that will keep me off for 2 weeks work but has no visable symptoms? It can be stress or depression as I am going for a management position at present. Help!

The problem is if they say no - it may be best to come up with something like this though as they are then prepared to give you time off and you will not be seen as skiving - if they say no then treat it as your fate - remember that nothing is by accident, if you are going to do this job it will happen ;-) Also, if they find out you have lied about your medical condition you could lose your job.
How about taking unpaid leave? No lies, no guilt, no tucking behind random aisles or hedges when you see the boss out for lunch. I for example saw my colleague yesterday when I was in town, my sick colleague; so one has to be careful when sick. I'd rather just quit because I couldn't be bothered with the looking over the shoulder syndrome and I know God hates dishonesty. If all else fails turn the waterworks on!
Depends on what "sick" means, On_the_trot. I once dislocated my kneecap and although capable of walking (with my knee locked straight), I couldn't bend it. I was considered a liability at work since I couldn't move fast enough in an emergency, and was signed off as a health and safety issue. So I was walking round town to beat the boredom, perfectly legitimately.
