Isn't there an unwritten rule for how long "Hey, cover for me" is supposed to last?

He said "Hold my vodka" to Patsy Stone.

I thought these never-seen employees usually worked for the government, anybody's government.

coscolo, since Italy has socialized medicine, he does work for the government, albeit sort of indirectly.
And who knows, maybe he didn't go to work because he wasn't any good, in which case the patients may have benefited from his absence.

He wasn't skipping work so much as just letting it accumulate to a more efficiently manageable level.

I wonder who did his work-reviews ? What was his score for "Treating others with respect" ?
