Think fast
I needed a few days off work, but I knew the boss wouldn’t allow me to take a leave. I thought that maybe if I acted “crazy” he would allow me to take a few days off. So, I hung upside down from the ceiling and made funny noises. My co-worker, a blond, 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.
