How does that work

[Doc Spock]

Just seen a neighbour(female) come home with shopping.

She is always off work sick with depression.

She works(sometimes) in benefit fraud section of DSS.

You could not make it up could you. Lazy b@stard.

I'm surprised nobody has tried breaking your legs dic spot (I like it Ruby) in a bid to try and get you to stay away for a while.

Quick someone !!!

Sneak into Doc's house and move the hands of his clock on towards 2pm..............then we can all settle down for a cosy afternoon's chat...........

2 weeks off for a tonsilectomy? You are kidding me right.

[Champagne]

At the same time, I think some employers take the pi$$ out of their staff. In these sorts of circumstances I think the employee is justified to drag out their sickness if they can.

I've never done it unfortunately.

I had a situation once where the stress of a job got to me so much that I went home one day and didn't go back. My friend recommended I go to the doctor and get signed off with stress for a couple of weeks, at least to buy me time while I found another job. But I couldn't bring myself to live that lie. I just walked out never to return and started from scratch. That's my way of deaing with things!

Well I am off to lunch... I have wasted time on AB and my boss isn't in so I will go and flirt with the lads when they return from football... but for now... I shall wander the shops only to return to more 'Dic Spot drivel' no doubt. Ahhh... the work of a receptionist is never done.....

[Doc Spock]

I love the "Dic Spot" tag. Think I will change to it.

Yes goody 2 weeks in 1966, 4 days in hospital the rest at home. I was only 21. Had too have stiches in throat as i recall.

Doc Spock

you wouldn't by any chance be jealous would you ???

[Eastender]

Are you really surprised? Just take a look around you Doc, its going on everywhere. Blame the goverment for there ignorance and turning a blind eye to it all. Thing is you have to let it go over your head. I am sure everyone knows of someone cheating the system!! After all, if you are out of work everything lands on your lap for free and if you work you get penalised for it, by having to fund the lazy gits.

[Doc Spock]

Thank you Eastender. A sensible response.

[Doc Spock]

I have just seen her going out again, lazy cow, off to pub on my NI contributions.

[Doc Spock]

I will get to one hundred even if I have to do it myself.

Why were you off for two weeks wi tonsillitis? Even if yir regular job involved talking to the public or colleagues, could you not have done written work, filing or carrying things about?
