Sick Days is the comic diary of Alan Truitt.
Alan is a customer service rep at Hamish Industries, the world’s 103rd largest manufacturer of quality windows and doors.
Alan is a mostly fictional character, working for a largely fictional company. But everything else is mostly 100% real.
He can be reached at mikeATbabbleoncom.com
Being the ace buffoon he is, Alan recently accidentally deleted the “About Me” page and the 80 or 90 comments in it. Nice work, Alpo.
So, he’ll try again.
Please enjoy this musical break as way of apology.
Sick Days 
Oh dear….
What a tit.
Ha! Way to start things off with a comically denigrating bang that very nicely besmirches my intelligence and yet incorporates a body part I happen to have a fondness for.
Well done, NobblySan! Well done. You’ve riled me up and made me laugh at the same time. And now my head hurts. It’s all very confused. I mean confusing. I think that’s what I mean…
And not my usual “confusion by way of contusion” confusion either. This confusion is a whole different kettle of worms. Wait, did I say “kettle of worms”? I meant can of fish… I think. I don’t know what the hell I mean.
The good news is that with the exception of you, no one comes here, so I can ramble away like an idiot in a buffoon suit at the moron’s oddball dancehall and no one (except for discerning you, who calls me a “tit”) will be here to notice. I also change the video music on a regular basis. Because I like to oddball dance to a variety of musical genres. Yesterday it was “Did You Evah” by Spoon, a few days before that it was “Hocus Pocus” by Focus. Where am I going with this, you ask? Hah! Indeed you well might…
Ummm, 1001 Nights.
Is that how long we have to wait for the next proper post?
Hahahahahaha!
First big laugh of the day. Thanks, Dave!
This is from a series I recently worked on. I’m happy to say that a good chunk of the footage is from episodes I wrote. That Sea Monster and Cyclops are from my Sinbad stories. I’m “the go-to-monster-guy.” Not sure what that says about me, but there it is…
Cor!
you wrote the Tales of The Arabian Nights?
…you old git.
I’ve been working on a ‘lite’ version myself…..
“The lower lumbar regions of the middle eastern late afternoons”
Catchy … and should avoid any unseemly copyright issues.
Hahaha!
I had to write something while I was waiting for my camel to refuel.
Actually, truth be told, I wrote them with The Three Persian Stooges – Moehammad, Larryhammad and Curlyhammad.
Your “lite” version sounds de“lite”ful. You should be fine with those pesky and unseemly copyright issues… Funny enough, I’m working on an “extra lite” version.
“The itchy elbows of the godforsaken hours of the early morning” ™
I’m including a free ‘Punch Me Otto” with every DVD.
Good move. We’ve got to get rid of the bloody things somehow.
I’ve been given an ultimatum by the domestic management – an Otto free house by Monday, or she invites her mother to stay for a week.
A large pit has started to be dug in the back garden. whether it is for Ottos or a Mother-in-law has yet to be decided.
I have some encouraging news, NobblySan.
It can be both!
I see two birds. I see one stone.
So what’s with Sick days, not been updated since Sept 25?
Hey Stu,
Life has been constantly demanding more of my time. I keep telling it to give me a break, but it’s having none of that. Hope you’re doing well.
I’m missing those sick days … will they ever return ?
Thanks isno,
I’m missing them too. Until then, you can see what my Uncle Don is up to. He’s always good for a laugh.

Exactly seven months ago I had visited your blog for no reason at all, but end up feeling very delighted and relaxed!
Seems your blog is very sick. I think sick days (worst days, I mean!) are over.
So, start writing and we all will be happy again!
Many thaks for the kind words, Nilesh. Hopefully one day this blog will get the kick in the pants it needs to get started again. Until then, we can always be found here.

All best,
