Sick time off? Excuses? Who does that? ;-)
This is a great discussion, I'm dyin' out here ROFLMAO! The creative/survival instincts displayed here are amazing. I gotta admit, I obviously have no creative/survival instincts 'cuz I have never done any of this. Whether working Mainframes, Mini's, Novell or NT Networks the only "creative" call-in after working 30-50-70 hours straight has been "...excuse me but I won't be coming in today, tomorrow and probably the next day... no, if you think you need help, call your mother, I'm turning off my phones...so fire me...". In my experience, to butcher Jesse Ventura's line from Predator - "I ain't got time to be sick...but I may take time to catch up on some sleep".
