Always turn up on a Monday - you can always feign illness AFTER you get there, so's you are sent home, but it looks bad if you don't appear first. :P
I worked temporarily in a Personnel Office and had the task of updating a computer programme with people's days off sick.
You'd be surprised how obvious it all was. Always the day after a holiday week end, or on a Monday. Some of the employees knew exactly how many sick days off they could take before they would lose any salary, and they took the maximum!
The excuse I disliked the most as a reason for not coming into work was: 'I am suffering from trapped wind'. I mean, like we want you in the office if it ISN'T trapped!!!???? ewwwwwww
And, of course, women used all the most embarrassing ailments and symptoms they could think of to discourage their male bosses for asking any questions. :D
