I urgently needed a few days off work, but I knew the Boss would not allow me to take a 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 the ceiling and made funny noises.

My co-worker (who's blonde) asked me what I was doing? I told her that I was pretending to be a light bulb so that the Boss would think I was "CRAZY" and give me a few days off.

A few minutes later the Boss came into the office and asked "What are you doing ?" I told him I was a light bulb.

He said "You are clearly stressed out. Go home and recuperate for a Couple of days."

I jumped down and walked out of the office. When my co-worker (the Blonde) followed me, the Boss said to her, "And where do you think You're going?"


She said, "I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark!"

Why? If you are stressed out you are ill, and should get a note from the doctor that you cannot work and there should be no problem. This way you are hurting your future.

And no, this has never happened to me. I never saw co-workers acting so crazy. And light bulbs don't make noises.

They do in my world!
