Two bone weary programmers were working their little hearts and
souls out. Their department was just too busy for staff to be able
take a break. But there had to be a way...
One of the two programmers suddenly lifted his head. "I know how to
get some time off work" the man whispered.
"How?" asked the second worker.
Instead of answering, the man quickly looked around. No sign of his
PL. He jumped up on his desk, kicked out a couple of ceiling tiles
and hoisted himself up. "Look!" he hissed, then swinging his legs
over a metal pipe, hung upside down.
Within seconds, the PL emerged from the Branch Head's office at the
far end of the floor. He saw the programmer hanging from the ceiling,
and asked him what on earth he thought he was doing.
"I'm a light bulb" answered the programmer
"I think you need some time off," barked the PL. "Get out of here -
that's an order - and I don't want to see you back here for at least
another two days! You understand me?"
"Yes sir", the programmer answered meekly, then jumped down, logged
off his computer and left.
The second programmer was hot on his heels.
"Where do you think you're going?" the boss asked.
"Home," he said lightly. "I can't work in the dark."
