For Chelsea

Sick Leave

I urgently 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", 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 (who is blonde) asked me what I was doing. I told her that
I was pretending to be a light bulb so that 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 heaven 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 asked her "...And
where do you think you're going?"

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