Cooler, when he gets back from the next, I just chat with him and ask if they gave him any solutions for the situation so he can get back to concentrating on work and not having to come and go so much. Tell him that you are getting worse out from the extra load.
I would say at minimum, he will stop asking you to cover.

Cooler, does he have sick time that he is using or has he burned through it all. If he is using sick time that he has earned, I guess there isn't much you can do about it. If he doesn't have any sick time you could complain to your boss about needing help since you have to do more than your share.
Regardless, when he starts complaining about it, just ask him if he has stopped smoking and drinking. If no, I don't want to hear about it.

And for the murder game. I'm.taking CG with a fish knife, with the reason being, because she could and just felt like it.
Is that not right? I just assumed since it's a German company you'd pronounce it like that.
Well, I guess I'll let Boxster clarify, but I thought aww-dee folks made fun of oww-dee folks.
This. We don't get to choose when or why others use sick leave if they've earned it. I had a full-fledged alcoholic in the office next to me for several years. I had to cover some of her departmental duties when she was out. She would call me at home in the middle of the night (3am, 4am) to tell me she wouldn't be in (no emails back then) and would describe all of her symptoms in great detail....yay? Even half asleep I could tell she wasn't sober.
The only thing I could really do is inform my boss that her frequent absences were negatively impacting my ability to do my real work (I'm not actually departmental staff; I'm just housed here), and he discussed it with her boss...at which point they began documenting her performance more carefully.
I don't like being a rat, but dang...
CG - Nickles shared a follow-up story on that bison calf, and in the story it explained why the park chose to euthanize. I understand it better now, but it still is frustrating.
The park’s only alternative would have been to ship the calf out of the park. But according to the park statement, it didn’t have the facilities to quarantine the animal to be monitored for brucellosis, an infection that can be spread from animals to people. The park also doesn’t have the resources to care for a calf that’s too young to forage on its own, according to the statement.
“Nor is it the mission of the National Park Service to rescue animals,” the statement continued. “Our goal is to maintain the ecological processes of Yellowstone.”

I'd have done the same thing. But, I'm an *** hole. So take that with a grain of salt.
It has been a crap day...so I'm going to leave here with a little bit of humor for CG & anyone else that gets a kick out of it. Chaser - here's some barbeque for ya! 
Just had to kick a homeless woman out of my store. She stole my protein bar and tried to steal hand sanitizer off the desk.
what states does Yellowstone cover? mostly Wyoming? I'm not sure if they are a brucellosis-free state or not. Didn't realize bison could carry it but makes sense. And I know they still have trouble with that in MI and CA so I guess I can understand. A rescue/farm probably wouldn't want to take the chance of having to quarantine on site and risk contamination. And I think there are fairly strict regulations on transporting those animals.
So, stupid people did stupid things and got the animal killed. Nice job, stupid people.
think my hostas got some frostbite.
and boy, I had an interesting day at work. Nothing crazy, just a couple different things. Have to see how the rest of the week shakes out. Might be doing some kinda video thing. Oh Lordy. Also going to a meeting for an important project with important people after I filled out an anonymous survey saying I found the whole thing project kinda vague. So now I'm in trouble. Probably not ha,. It's supposed to be about feedback on how it's being communicated and such. Maybe it's that more than just myself said they didn't really understand and that's why they want to get feedback.
I'm not the only plebe in the meeting and the person heading it up has been asking me to provide feedback on it for the last couple months (I did) and I believe wanted to recruit me to his former department a while back so I think he just wanted me to be part of it. Hopefully that's it.
