what is the term for an employee who is frequently absent?
I have the obvious, fired, poor, unemployed, broke-a** m.f., absentee…
I am reasonably sure there is a one word term, but at a complete loss as to what it is.

TIA

A Dedicated Follower of Fashion - which is why he spends so little time in the office.  Maybe Bandito moonlighting.

» Dedicated Follower Of Fashion

They seek him here
they seek him there
his clothes are loud but never square.
It will make or break him
so he’s got to buy the best
‘cos he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.
And when he does his little rounds
round the boutiques of London Town
eagerly pursuing
all the latest fads and trends
‘cos he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh
yes
he is (oh
yes
he is)
Oh
yes
he is (oh
yes
he is)
He thinks he is a flower to be looked at
and when he pulls his frilly nylon
panties right up tight
he feels a dedicated follower of fashion.
Oh
yes
he is (oh
yes
he is)
Oh
yes
he is (oh
yes
he is)
There’s one thing that he loves
and that is flattery
one week he’s in polka dots
the next week he’sin stripes
‘cos he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.
They seek him here
they seek him there
in Regent Street and Leicester Square.
Ev’rywhere the carnabytion army marches on
each one a dedicated follower of fashion.
His world is built ‘round discotheques and parties
this pleasure seeking individual always looks his best
‘cos he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.
He flits from shop to shop just like a butterfly
in matters of the cloth he is as fickle as can be
‘cos he’s a dedicated follower of fashion.
He’s a dedicated follower of fashion.

Perhaps not chronically absent, but typically you, Doug.  Love it.
