When was the last time you lied......

I was diagnosed with diabetes nearly two years ago and until about 4 months ago I was on diet control. I started taking medication the week after I turned 40 and I didn't react too well physically to the medication at first. I called in sick to work and ended up taking 4 days off work saying I had a bad stomach upset which was brought on by the medication - this was only partly true - but the real reason for taking the 4 days off was that I went into a sort of depression at having been told I have to take medication for the rest of my life. My boss was pretty cool about it when I went back to work the following week as I did imply that I was really freaked out about being "reallY" diabetic as up until I was prescibed medicine I deep down thought the diabetes wasn't real and would go away :( ! I've accepted it now but that was the lie I told - that I had a dodgy tummy, but it was really an extension of the truth I guess! x

I never have to lie to get out of work. I have so many doctors I have to see during any given month that they make the excuses easy for me. I guess back when I was much younger I lied to leave work early some Fridays but I never called in sick then went shoe shopping or anything like that.
