Less, I did once try that (sorry, Margaret, my sort of excuse is I was only young) and I told my (male) boss I was suffering from really bad cramps even though I wasn’t. I was very convincing, being a bit of an actress, and he sent me home without any hesitation. Told me to have the afternoon off. I have to admit I felt a twinge of guilt when I realised how concerned he was for me, but it was too late to change my story.

As a matter-of-fact my convincing must have been better than I thought because by the time I got home I had also convinced myself and had to go to bed with a hot water bottle because I really did have bad cramps. Talk about a just punishment. Needless to say I never tried that again.
