Sick sick sick!

Post by GoingPostal86 »

This has probably been asked a hundred times but I'm struggling to find an answer in search.

What is the RM Sick/Stage Warning policy?

I was sick for two days (together) in September due to the flu and then two days (together) in october due to a particulary nasty vomitting bug I got from my children's play group.

Normally this would be fine but I have an impending Gallbladder operation scheduled within the next two-three months, I don't have an exact date yet.

:crazy:

I would think a gallbladder op would take you over 14 days thus onto stage 1.

Working outside in the winter is one of the things that keeps you germ free :)

Funny you should say that, I have a good immune system and only have cold very very rarely... I probably had a new cold once a month as a postman, the amount of scrotes that sneeze and cough then use a pda is unreal

When it keeps changing from cold days to mild days I keep getting a 24hr cold. If it was one or the other I think i'd be fine.
I've noticed getting battered by the wind causes me to have more headaches and earaches.

Ho hum :sad:
