Anyone feeling ill?
Is anyone starting to feel the Mexican swine flu coming on
I think I feel it coming on so I may have to take a couple of week off on the sick just to be on the safe side

I'm preparing myself for the zombie invasion, rule number 1 - Cardio

Re: Anyone feeling ill?
I haven't had any time off sick for over a year, but after RM's announcement of an
imposed wage freeze, I think I might be going down with Crozier Swine Flu. :cfo

You can bet a lot of managers ( being swine themselves ) must be sh*tting themselves, and the docket hogs won't be feeling too clever

I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

In all seriousness one guy with this flu in a mail centre or DO would infect everyone else after a few sneezes. Then we would take it round the streets killing all the customers off. Not good for buisness I'd say! It's wont be just the mail dropping off when this baby hits us.

The Government has enough vaccine for half the population. So, that's the top earners, MP's, company directors etc, the illegal workers and those on minimum wage and some to sell to the Dutch. Obviously pensioners and normal working people who earn above NMW but below the national average will not be eligible as we are a drain on the valuable resources of this great country. Oh, what a surprise!

Funnily enough - one bloke was complaining to the manager today about lack of training and he said it would've been available if he hadn't gone sick with "man flu" - I hadn't heard that expression before but apparently we are the weaker sex and women work through it.canolman wrote:......and if you survive the flu your down the office for your stage warning!you lazy sods, it's only a cold, so what if youv'e lost your voice you still have to phone in....bone idle the lot of ya!

Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
