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 co-workers (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 co-worker started following me and the Boss asked where she was going.

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