Benefits to working from home (for others)

Our poor Sharon has been poorly the last few days with tonsilitis and it was during a conversation when we were trying to cheer her up that we came up with some unusual benefits to working from home:

1. You don't get to spread the germs around your work colleagues, so the rest of the team has no excuses and can still shift the work. (Where do these germs come from anyway?)
2. You can keep the bucket by your desk so you can puke while you carry on working.
3. You don't frighten other people because you look like Alice Cooper.

But the best story comes from Sharon:

"Well, put it this way, on a night out with friends when I got sick (and that was through alcohol) she phoned an ambulance as she thought I had alcoholic poisoning – well, it turned out to be that I’d had my face so far down toilet, it had got stained with blue Toilet Duck – I can still hear hospital laughing!"

I should probably add footnote here for any international readers who don't know what Toilet Duck is: leave a comment with her email address and I'll explain it to you.
