What is it acceptable to do while off sick?

All-day Tommy Tank?

Thanks for ruining my childhood

I never play games when ill because of all that brain energy needed, so I just watch comedies as laughter is definitely the best medicine. I'll take days off work and they don't complain because I pointed out before that two days resting to clear it is better than five days-odd working at much less than top form.

I can understand that and it's a fair point, I was on about salaried that would get paid if sick or not. If a company doesn't provide properly for employees regarding being paid when sick I can see why you would work regardless hopefully it will hit the CEO

I am kinda glad I dont get sick pay anymore....as I am weak willed enough to abuse it! Even the pi*s taking I took for getting my mum to phone in for me (til i was 25/moved out ) never used to stop me sticking a post-it note request on her handbag and going back to bed with "flu" or "food poisoning" when I was on a salary!

Our CEO doesn't get close enough to us plebs for me to poison him sadly...

My manager and I have a neat little trick going on where he puts my sick days down as holidays and tells the HR lady he forgot to give her the form if she asks(she never does). I prefer that way because I don't use all of my holidays and end up taking the remaining time off each December.

Game, drink, smoke some bud and order pizza & kebab.

This is exactly what I did after being released from hospital after having a very nasty case of food poisoning back in 2006. I spent the remaining Thursday and Friday off doing just the above.

Well it looks like posting in this thread jinxed me, for I am under the weather and have taken the day off to recover. Battlefield 3, then!

Awww yeahhh!

I'm gonna test my sneaky skills and put it down as a holiday, see what happens.

Not in the mood for battlefield so listening to Julian Lloyd Webber's Elgar Variations while eating breakfast. Mmmm
