I often fall ill over the weekend, which sometimes extends into Monday, rarely Tuesday. I don't drink, and I'm not an idiot.

Could be interviewing but everyone gets the shits from time to time. No real way to know if it's flu or something you ate so I can see this happening a couple weeks apart.

Partied too hard? Extended vacation?

Eh, usually a super diligent/conservative employee.

It might be some other embarrassing issue like IBS.. no one wants to talk about their poop issues to anyone at work. Stomach flu is a pretty good blanket stately that no one wants to be any part of.
