Boy, what a slacker:
After an amazing 22 years on the bench without taking a sick day, Judge John F. Surbeck Jr. of the Allen County Superior Court was a no-show Monday.
[. . .]
Judge Frances C. Gull took over Surbeck's docket, and in her courtroom lawyers were stacked four deep as they awaited their chance to ask for a continuance or just a chance to accept a guilty plea or sentencing for their clients.
“This is the first time Judge Surbeck has ever called in sick,” Gull said to the packed courtroom.
I reemember kids who were like that in school -- never stayed home sick, always had their homework done comepletely and on time, had a nice word for everyone. I think we called them "Goody Two Shoes." No offense, judge. And don't make a habit of the sick time, OK?

Leo:
Maybe he's got some sick time accrued, with a "use it or lose it" clause somewhere.
I'm just sayin'...
I always called them "the kids who are willing to give the rest of us chicken pox just to impress the teacher."'
We used to beat them up during recess.
