to think the teacher would not be off sick today?

[zztown]

as the second day of new school term

(lets see what you lot think)

Is he your partner?

Yea, maybe he caught a dose of lazyartous overnight

Are you a troll ??

Or just a common-or-garden-freak ?

martianbishop, thats extreme, sorry to hear that.

Dear Dr ZZ

May I sign up with you? I frequently need a good kick. One every morning around 6 am would help me out of bed. But please not when I am genuinely poorly. Save the kickings for when I should be getting up.

Yours

Hurly

I wil email you a sicky for £50

zztown - are really this teacher's doctor? am curious ...

I work in a school (in a non-teaching role) and I've had to phone in sick today - bad woman! I've got a dreadful chest infection which makes it impossible for me to stay awake for more than 2 or 3 hours. I feel absolutely rubbish for not being there this week but really, it is way beyond my control.

When I go back (hopefully next week) I'll turn up with a huge box of chocs and a smile!

Is the person your partner?

zz, life is extreme sometimes for people. Dh, amazingly looks as if there is nothing wrong with him, but he has terminal pancreatic cancer. I'm sure that there are people who think that we are swinging the lead, but we are not.

Just because someone looks OK, they might not be.

My brother is also a teacher and once missed the first few days of term because my mother had had a stroke.

Teachers are only human

I'll email you a Signed and Official Licence to Practice Medicine for £100.

It is very very authentic. It has lots of earning potential. Say you have 1000 clients each wanting five sickies a year. That's £250,000 per year.

All from my Official Licence to Practice Medicine. Email me at [email protected]

No I am not the teachers doctor.
I do understand things on the surface may look OK when they are not.
I too have had devasting news at work.
I have been told teachers are human and I am sure some are nice humans too, as some of you are.

However, I still want to kick his butt!

Also .... dragging your sorry arse to work is perfectly possible if you work in an office where you can sit down all day sniffing into your computer screen (as I do). Not quite so possible if you have to look after 30 or so small active people and actually manage to teach them something

Hurlyburly I am defo in the worng type of work.
Thinking about my hobnailed boots which I may have to dust off.

I expect it was 'man flu'

yes 5 of my kids have had sickness and runs for past 3 days now. just bad timing!

Me and my boys were ill during the February half-term - now THAT's bad timing.

unknownrebelbang - oh that is dreadful timing. As a child I hated being ill in the holidays. I even managed to come out in chicken pox the evening of the last Friday before the Easter holidays, so ha a rubbish break that time, age 13!

Well he hasn't even had chance to catch anything off the children yet has he? Maybe that will be next weeks sicky!

Perfectly fine to be off if you're ill.

Do you think it's personal? Did you look in his direction or anything?

zztown you are mithering on now.

What is you precise relationship to this so-called lazy-arsed teacher? Are you a parent? You say you're a doctor, so I presume you're not his pissed off boss or colleague. Does he have a history of not malingering? What's the problem here? Or are you just Cod typing very carefully?

I mean malingering
