    0 last year,probably about 2 weeks or more the year before (torn cornea)
    I have never take a 'sickie'
    if im off then its for a genuine reason
  • 1 day in 2010 [sickness and diahorrea does really mix with catering.]

    Before that? None since I 2004.
  • Since I started my work place, only ONE day off, and that was only because I was stressed out.

    It annoys me when the same guy keeps becoming "ill" for two weeks over christmas and gets full pay.
