In the interview, he will hand over the doctor's note and tell them it was the same as last time, but because of their inquiry last time, he went to see a doctor, which was a waste of time. Maybe they get the subtle message: "I felt the need to stay at home for a day again, but I had to go to the doctor because of your bullshit, and he gave me three days off." | |

| Jan 26, 2018 at 9:54 | comment | added | AndyT | Bad advice. Please do not go to the doctor for a common cold! OP is in the UK, where public money (via the NHS) will be wasted by seeing a doctor for a cold. What you (Angel) suggest may be right for the USA - I don't know and I make no comment on it. But it is wrong for the UK. | |
