THURSDAY –
Sometimes you think you’ve gotten a lucky break. Your boss is out of the office and you’re not expecting him or her back anytime soon. It’s the beginning of a long weekend, and things are winding down. You’ve got time on your hands. You can catch up on your instant messaging, surf the Web, go for a walk around the block and get some fresh air.
It’s inevitable that at the very moment you’re about to do something you know someone higher up wouldn’t approve of, the phone rings. It’s the boss, wanting to know how that project you finished an hour ago is coming along. And you make the fatal mistake of saying you’re just finishing it up. You’ll come to regret this more than you can imagine when you hear what he has to say next.
