Response to the poll. no NEVER faked an illness to get off work! although have had like one or two days off for seing docs or w/e which only took like half day… XD
I’ve “faked” illness when I’m actually just badly hungover, but technically that IS a kind of illness, so I wasn’t sure how to answer.
I’ve never pretended to be ill when I’m actually well, no.
i used to do that… mostly to work without paying taxes as a carpenter but nowadays i just drag my as to my 9-5job… im in the carousel that ends 6foot under yes.
It has happened that I might have exaggerated my “sickness” to stay home yes. But to even it out, I have never ever faked “wellness” when I have been sick!
Oh and btw, that music was probably as far from what I like as you can get
back in school i did it that often, after a while teachers even stopped asking me about it.. i managed to stay off school ~40% of the days lol..
nowadays, i really like my job and i’m responsible for public events taking place there is no way to stay off even if i’m sick (luckily i’m rarely sick). once i had to sign a paper at the hospital so they let me leave to a job after a pneumotorax.. no, i never missed a job, no matter if i was sick or fine..
I have nobody to deceive but myself, since I’m a freelancer and my workplace is my home ;). I can be sick or not, can work for 3 days without sleep or play entropia for a week non-stop, but when deadline come the job must be done.
