You've just picked up your Xbox One, and you're suddenly feeling sick. It's just a little stomach bug. You ate some bad shrimp. You're sure it will clear up by the weekend, but you can't possibly come into work today.
For those too excited for the new consoles, Microsoft has created a "doctor's note", with customizable options so any "employee", "student", "wife" or "husband" and get out of their regular duties due to "zombie flu", "Roman rage" or -- the best option -- "Irritable Battle Syndrome."

The letter prescribes "a heavy dose of Xbox One", because the patient needs to "save Rome at any cost/race cars/get sweaty".
"After a thorough examination, I've concluded that the all-in-one entertainment system is the only cure for the aforementioned condition," reads the note, signed by Xbox spokesman Larry Hryb, aka Major Nelson, aka now-Dr. Nelson.
While we don't think any boss will believe you have a bout of "Racecar Rash", it's undoubted that plenty of people will "sick" Friday after picking up their Xbox One consoles at midnight.
