Sick Leave

Ever feel like you're running out of excuses for a sick leave? Not that you really needed to fake an illness ... well, in fact, you're honestly, positively, truly sick ... of working.

If so, read this ... and get inspired! :D

Sick Leave

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 on the ceiling and made funny noises.

My co-worker 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 followed me, the Boss asked her, "And where do you think you're going?"

(You're gonna love this.....)

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

My ex-boss emailed this to me, more than a year ago, and it never fails to tickle me everytime I read it, even now.

I would pay good money just to watch someone, anyone, play this prank on my new boss. And I will volunteeringly play the part of the co-worker. Let's just hope I'll be able to keep a straight face long enough to say the last line. :))
