No one calls in sick to redundancy. If you’re in bed, you’re in trouble. Recently my flat mates, both girls, have been pulling ‘sickies’ on pretty much alternate days. It’s getting to the point where now it just seems like showing off. In fact I’m starting to feel a bit sorry for their employers.
I was a bit under the weather on the weekend. So what do you do when you’re not feeling great and are redundant? First up, sort out your recovery: rest, drink loads of water, buy honey and lemons galore, take that fag out of your mouth et cetera. Basically you’re not pulling a sickie on Monday like those employed pussies so sort yourself out.
In terms of amusement, have you heard of the Internet Archive? It’s a pretty mental concept, but basically someone’s made a site that relentlessly archives cultural artefacts. Imagine Google is Rain Man and he has a touch-screen face. Within this archive is a moving image section, and there you will find a repository of entertainment that only a very serious illness would give you time to explore fully.

Charade with Audrey Hepburn and Carey Grant is worth a viddy.
