• Monday blues is a common syndrome with every
  employee and so is with me, but one Monday this
  syndrome reached its peak and forced me to think
  for bunking the office. I was working with a food
  distribution agency and Monday and Saturday are
  two days of the week wherein the work load is
  very high in comparison to other week days and
  taking an off during these two days is very
  difficult.
• I got up from my bed and sat on the sofa in
  a relaxed mode as i was getting ways to find out
  a solid excuse for my boss so that I can avoid
  the office today.
• Are you not getting late for your work? My
  wife asked me
• Not exactly, as I think my body needs one
  more day of rest. I replied

• She came near to me out of concern and
  placed her hand on my forehead to check the
  probability of fever but the body temperature was
  normal as there was no fever.
• You seem to be ok, then why are you
  skipping your office? My interrogating officer
  asked me, normally in every house the wife stays
  the interrogating officer and the husband remains
  the culprit.
• I remained quiet for a while and thought
  that i should plan something in such a way that I
  do not get to face my interrogating officer
  neither and nor should be leaving for work.

• Look at the weather outside, it is such a
  pleasant weather outside and do not you think we
  should plan something outside like movie or
  shopping? It was a googly from my side
• Yes, you are very correct and we should
  definitely plan something. It was an out and the
  googly was a success.
• But Im failing to find a proper excuse so
  that my boss grants me to take leave today. I
  was seriously confused. I asked my wife to find a
  proper excuse as ladies are very smart in this
  department as per me.
• She took my mobile phone and dialled my boss, I
  was clueless about her doing but she asked me to
  remain quiet and watch.
• Hello Vijay Sir, how are you doing? to my
  surprise she literally dialled my boss from the
  mobile and started the conversation. My boss
  knows my wife as both of our families have met in
  few official occasions and exchanged
  pleasantries.

• Sir, today Rahul would not be coming to
  office as he is really ill and the doctor has
  advised him a complete bed rest for one entire
  day. It was my wife trying to explain to my boss
  by giving and false excuse and the matter of
  surprise was that, my boss got convinced and
  granted my leave. She winked and gave my mobile
  phone back to me.
• Lets get a cup of coffee for ourselves and
  plan the entire day. She left for kitchen and
  left me a headache as I was not at all in a mood
  to go out and leave bed. I was in a full mood to
  spread myself on the bed like a bed sheet and
  enjoy the TV.
• I wish that it rains like hell and the
  entire road gets waterlogged, I realised that my
  second consecutive wish got fulfilled. The first
  wish was of getting the leave granted from my
  boss on Monday and the second was to get in a
  situation where in none of us talk of going out.
  It started raining and that too it was raining
  like hell. I was in my balcony and was in full
  surprise to witness it.

• Oh no, why is it raining? my wife came and
  handed me the cup of coffee with a sheer
  disappointment after witnessing the rain. I was
  smiling but the smile was internal as you cannot
  show your smiling teeth in front of your
  disappointed wife, it holds a risk of getting
  broken, I sympathised my wife and asked to
  prepare an amazing meal.
• During shower itself I decided which web
  series do I need to finish today, and with full
  excitement I got my food and went inside my room
  and started setting to the web series. The door
  bell rang but I ignored as I thought it must be
  maid or someone from neighbour.
• My wife went and opened the door it was my
  boss on the door. My wife welcomed my boss and he
  captured a position in the sofa.

• My wife came and switched off the TV and took my
  food plate from my hand, I thought that my wish
  did not lasted for too long and the rain must
  have stopped outside.
• Your boss is here to see you so better get
  inside the bed and act as if you are not well.
  My wife whispered, my eyebrows spread wide with
  full wrinkles on my forehead.
• I got into the bed and covered myself with a
  blanket, my boss came inside the room and asked
  me about my well being. I nodded and said It is
  better now.
• I realised this morning that I should personally
  get involve into the well being of my employees
  as i realise that the work burden has increased
  in our office these days but it is a matter of
  few days as i have asked the HR to appoint few
  more resources so that my existing employee
  maintains a work life balance.

• For the first time I really loved my boss for
  his caring concern but unfortunately the
  situation was not appropriate. The caring boss
  kept his tune on and it was like a one sided
  nonstop conversation from my boss for
  approximately 5 hours which I or to be very
  precise every subordinate is habitual of. I got
  so bugged up with this conversation that I later
  thought that it would have been much better if I
  would have gone to office and saved my one sick
  leave which went for a toss.
