One Out, All Out!
I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the boss wouldn’t allow me to take leave. I thought that maybe if I acted ‘crazy’, then he would tell me to take a few days off. So, I hung upside-down from a ceiling fixture and made funny noises.
My co-worker asked me what on earth I was doing. I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb, so the boss might think I was ‘crazy’ and give me some time off.
A few minutes later, the boss came into the office and asked, “What in the name of Sam Hill are you doing?”
I told him I was a light bulb.
He said, “You’re clearly stressed out. You’d better go home and rest up for a couple of days.”
I jumped down and walked out of the office.
When my co-worker went to follow me, the boss asked her, “And where do you think you’re going?”
To which she replied: “I’m going home too. I can’t work in the dark.”
