I was surprised to read that according to a new survey man flu is out and ‘office girl flu’ is in.
Apparently two thirds of men will not let a cold keep them off work compared with only half of women.
Bizarre excuses for absence include: ‘Watford got relegated and I couldn’t face work.’ Others that reached the top 10 were: ‘My cat is depressed’, ‘My hamster died’, ‘A bird pooed on my head’, ‘I’m having a bad hair day’, ‘My dog caught fire’, ‘I have to go to the first day of the Next sale’, ‘I can’t my find false teeth’, ‘My brain hurts’ and ‘I was cooking my breakfast in the microwave and it exploded’.
What’s even more shocking is that the guiltiest culprits were found to be women aged 24 to 28 working in travel, hospitality and PR, with Brighton and Nottingham as the wimpiest cities!
Now falling perfectly into the category of this apparent new ‘master skiver’, I whole heartedly disagree with these generalisations. I have never, and I’m sure I can speak for the other girls in the office here, rung in work to say sorry I can’t come into today I can’t find my false teeth, they exploded in the microwave at the Next sale!!
