Fit workers 'would call in sick'
"And 60% will stay at home with minor ailments such as colds or hangovers." I can assure you, if ever a hangover has kept me from work, there's been nothing minor about it!
Not that I've had much sick time in the last few years - unlike some people I could mention... CoughMatthewsCough.
Hmmm. Unless you count time in the Dentists chair having my front teeth reconstructed, that is. ;-) A couple of years back I spent rather a lot of time at the Dentist. I did come straight to work after having a incisor removed, though...
