No Work in the Dark
I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew my boss
would not allow me to take a leave. I thought that maybe if I
acted crazy he would tell me to take a few days off. So I hung
upside down on the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker
asked me what I was doing. I told her I was pretending to be a
light bulb so the boss would think I was crazy and give me a
few days off. A few minutes later the boss came in and said,
“What are you doing?” I told him I was a light bulb.
He said:“you are clearly stressed out. Go home and have a rest
for a couple of days.” I jumped down and walked out of the
office. When my co-worker followed me, the boss said to her,
“And where do you think you're going?” She said, “I can't work
in the dark!”
