What if you only have one vacay day left in your arsenal and want to save it in case something pops up?

And who said anything about feigning?

Why would anyone do that, all you have to do is say you don't feel well. No need to actually make yourself sick. Thats crazy talk

What’s the method? Do you put the thermometer on a light bulb and show your boss? Definitely sick boss, it says 107 degrees.

He's been having a lot of posts like that lately. Maybe he should have retired when he claimed he was going to.
