2003-02-10 | ROLE COUGHING

I don't remember the first time I played sick to get out of school, but over the years, I've gotten pretty good at it.

Not like I've done it a lot.

I guess I'm just smarter now.

I'm a pretty good actor.

James Lipton called me the other day to ask me what my favorite word was. (I said (Babaganoush (sp?))

I used to feel guilty about pretending I had the flu. (One that always works is stomach flu, because it usually involves vomiting, and that makes them immedieately say "STAY HOME!")

But I realized that I hardly ever get "real" sick, so those fake days are the only sick days I'm going to get.

And even with my fake sick days, I still have better attendance then 99 percent of the employees I've worked for over the years.

Now I feel more guilt towards myself.

I wish I would've done it more.

Why does everybody else get to take advantage?

It's weird though..... More then half the people I've worked with and for over the past 10 years or so, are so sketchy, that everytime they don't come to work, I think they're bullshitting.

Then I started to wonder....

I wonder how many people think I'm faking when I'm not there.

I think I could count on one hand, the times that I've feigned illness, to skip work.

But my crowning achievement was going to a basketball game DURING work, and coming back to finish my shift.

Good ol' 3 hour lunches are making a comeback.
