Snakes Incorporated
Unusual but effective
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' 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
(Sipho) asked me what I was doing. I told him 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 (Sipho) followed me, the Boss asked him '...And where
do you think you're going?'
He said, 'I'm going home too, I can't work in the dark.'
