How to lower the sickness absence statistics

However, my dad has only called in sick once b/c I had a severe case of pneumonia. His plan is to gather enough sick leaves to where he can take the whole year off before he retires and get paid for it. He'll have to work at least a week during that year to show that he hasn't quit, but it's still a sweet deal.

A teacher at my high school did just that, and I talked to another one who had accumulated over 250 sick days. It's pretty hilarious that they'd get payed for taking an entire year off, but I guess it makes up for all of the days they would have missed nicely.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
