I usually say its something I ate the night before. that usually gives me 1 - 2 days .

last time I went in I said this.

They played around with my stomach and said there is some stuff going on in there.

I was fine.

So who is the liar ?

I am with Sled on this one

My work doesnt require a sick certificate if its only 1 day.

If however its 3 or more days then i definately need a doctors certificate

So i am guessing its the same for you as well craig.

And as for excuses:

1. a massive headache

2. Diarhea (not sure of the spelling lol)

3. bad cough, runny nose and general soreness (possibly from something that you ate over the weekend, blame some restaurent for that)

Issue here is that your sick day falls on a Monday - a day after the weekend, so they'll most likely ask/demand a sick certificate otherwise they will assume you're partied hard all weekend!

My previous workplace used to have the same policy - if it was a sick day mid-week, no questions asked, but if it was a Monday or a Friday, they came down hard on you!

where i work if your sick day is immediately before or after your weekend, you need a sick cert, or if you have 2 or more days off in a row.

If I wish to be paid.

Cronic makes a good point here.......it may be up to company policy if it falls on a Monday or maybe even on a Friday.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
