Sick Day

Time Off

I decided that I needed a few days off and realized that I had run out of vacation time already. I figured the best way to get the Boss to send me home was to act a little crazy, thinking he'd think I was burning out and give me some time off.

I came in to work early the next day and began hanging upside down from the ceiling. Just then one of my coworkers (she's blonde -- it'll be important later) came in and asked me what I was doing.

"Shh," I said, "I'm acting crazy to get a few days off. I'm a light bulb."

A second later the Boss walked by and asked me what I was doing.

"I'm a light bulb!" I exclaimed.

"You're going crazy," he said. "Take a few days off."

With that, I jumped down and started walking out. My blonde coworker started following me and the Boss asked where she was going.

"I can't work in the dark," she said.

Very nice. I am not allowed time off for being sick, only for my own funeral, and then have to report to work the next day with proof of why I was absent.

A quote that I love relates to this..........

"I wake up every morning at nine and grab for the morning paper. Then I look at the obituary page. If my name is not on it, I get up."

-Benjamin Franklin-
