Hmmm, you run the risk of it being a permanent shirk there though.

Who wouldn't shirk given the chance?

Someone I used to work with once had months on end off sick with a bad back - try proving/disproving that - and she even went on a weekend away while she was off that she won via work, and that entailed a long coach journey (she'd claimed that she couldn't sit for any length of time).

It's a bit like you - never in, cleaning like a mad woman, constantly answering the door to couriers, trolling all day online - yet the one place you can't get to is work.

Signed off, in a cast, not allowed on site. HTH.


Still, least my mind is well....

If you're well other than a cast you could do desk work?

Erm, not allowed on site - although I did sneak in for a few meetings the other week rather than hold meetings by telecon. Occ Health got to hear about it though and that was that. Been doing some work from home from time to time though.

Hmm, slobbing about watching TV etc isn't so bad if it's by choice, but when it's enforced....

This takes faking illness to another dimension

A fraudster conned his neighbour out of £40,000 then pretended to be a quadriplegic and in a coma for two years to evade justice.

Alan Knight, 47, from Swansea, faked his condition but was caught by police going on shopping trips and holidays.

After he was caught, Knight admitted himself to hospital to avoid court hearings on "at least two occasions".

But he admitted to theft and forgery at Swansea Crown Court and faces jail when sentenced in November.

The court heard that Knight, who claimed to have no movement from the neck down, was caught on CCTV walking around a supermarket and driving his car to Dorset.

I'd rather do a bit of bird...

The yellow bin bag thing doesn't help, it might be hospital waste thing. Same colour as the Sharps bin the district nurses use.Doesn't look convincingly hygienic though.

Says in the link that doctors in hospital caught him writing etc, so he must have been trying to fool them too, and tests that will have presumably been done.

Yeah, looks like it's supposed to be clinical waste, for incineration.
