I recall a meeting in which the individual concerned batted away chunks of the agenda due to pressure of time, then spent half an hour at the end burbling away about the public health advice for Zika virus, which we can find on the internet with the push of a button.]

But I figure if my boss is too much of a tight wad t pay sick pay he's only got himself to blame if I come in and give him my lurgy!
