Most of my friends had organised the Friday off before the long weekend. I was a little jealous but I went out Thursday night for a couple of drinks anyway.
“Why don’t you call in sick?” one of my friends asked, after learning of my predicament.
“I think my boss would be a little suspicious considering the four-day weekend that would result.”
“How long have you been working there?” he probed.
“Only a few weeks.”
“Perfect,” he said, “call up and say you’re tired due to chronic fatigue syndrome or something. That way you’ll get out of work whenever you want.”
“That’s not a bad idea.”
“My boss thinks I suffer from migraines,” he laughed; “I only ever work three days a week.”
