JOE suspects that a good few of you out there were in the queue for the Xbox One last night, so here’s how to get out of work to play it

It’s just past lunch, and you’ve already been distracted all morning, thinking about the newest, shiniest and most beloved piece of kit that you’ve had in your life for the last few years. That’s right, your beloved Xbox is sitting on your living room floor, and you’re stuck trudging through the Weekly Estimated Net Usage Statistics (WENUS).

Well not to worry, if you need to duck out early or you were staring down the barrel of a long weekend stuck in the office, Microsoft have made their very own doctor’s note for those of you suffering from Xbox One Fever.

You can head along to the website to get yours drawn up, and as far as we can tell the whole thing seems pretty legit. Who wouldn’t take Dr. M.Nelson, M.D., X.B.1’s word for it?

If you do have any success handing this in to your employer, let us know. Now if you’ll excuse us, JOE is feeling very faint, must be this fever we’ve got. The only cure is more cowbell. And Xbox One, of course.
