I
urgently1 needed a few days off work but I knew the boss would not 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-down2 on 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 the Boss might think I was 'crazy' and give me a few days 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 are clearly stressed out. Go home and
recuperate3 for a couple of days.' I jumped down and walked out of the office...
When my co-worker (the blonde) followed 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.'
