Like Steph says, worst case scenario they're on the hook for a couple of more days of sick time.
Another plus is that evil LA!Boss will be flying up to do the sacking, so I can avoid her being in the room when it happens. Or, she'd have to fly back up again on Monday. Heh. Kind of like the idea of letting her dangle as I call in each day. "::cough:: I'm not going to be in today, but I'll be in
tomorrow
for sure. We should definitely reschedule that meeting with [evil LA!Boss] then."
Next day: "::cough:: Still not well. So sorry. Definitely in tomorrow."
I am, I'm afraid, so last year...the wardrobe malfunction of gf-ness.
Shouldn't you have JZ do the calling, "He's much to sick to come to the phone," so that the evil boss doesn't decide to pull a super evil and fire you over the phone?
Not scarves? I thought it would be scarves. Damn. Now I have to go shopping.
I think Martha Stewart has some practical advice on fashioning a scarf into an SO snare. (I believe she uses a modified version to help protect the compound.)
Sparky is wise. [Note to self: when planning to be sneaky, consult Sparky.]

Well, I'm just planning on unplugging the phone machine for a couple days. We've got cell phones.
I don't know if it's worth it. But it's tempting. I'm definitely taking a sick day tomorrow. (And I am actually a little sick - though not enough to normally take a sick day.)

A firing over the phone and via your wife carries so much more class. Not that they'd do that, I'm sure.

(inside-ish joke) I'm having visions of Hec as Mark McKinney in Slings & Arrows, angrily flipping off the other side of the phone conversation whilst keeping his voice amazingly polite.
I'm with the others. If they're going to stiff you on pay, they're going to stiff you. Taking sick days or not probably wouldn't affect anything at this point. Take Sparky's advice if it's pertinent, though. I may have a cold next week myself.
Oh, and Epic? I'm under NDA so I can't say that much, but the test takes that long because they're testing your discernment using the (complicated) guidelines they've given and whether you can keep a high level of discernment and be productive on a deadline. Luckily, I'm getting paid for the time taking the test or else there's no way I'd invest so much in something that might not pan out.
