An email..
I DECIDED THAT I NEEDED A FEW DAYS OFF AND REALIZED THAT I HAD RUN OUT
OF VACATION TIME ALREADY. FIGURED THE BEST WAY TO GET THE BOSS TO SEND
ME HOME WAS TO ACT A LITTLE CRAZY. FIGURED HE'D THINK I WAS BURNING OUT
AND GIVE ME SOME TIME OFF.
I CAME IN TO WORK EARLY THE OTHER 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'M 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 COWORKER STARTED
FOLLOWING ME AND THE BOSS ASKED WHERE SHE WAS GOING.
"I CAN'T WORK IN THE DARK," SHE SAID.
