He has been adorned with many sobriquets in every office: Team lead, Reporting Manager, boss or even Hitler, depending on his disposition towards oneself. But one thing is for sure, irrespective of the fact whether he or she is for better or for worse, the fact that they are away definitely brings a euphoric and zingy feeling even if for a few days.
I am yet to meet a person who has not conveyed the news brazenly with a very genuine touch of amusement revealing how he or she truly feels about it. I have undergone the ordeal of having an atrocious woman for a boss, such was her terror that the above mentioned adage seems custom made for her. The mood used to become boisterous on hearing that she was a having a cold or a cough. I found myself often praying that her son should have an exam to write everyday so that she can take leaves :)
Barring a few circumstances, my luck is quite a bestowing one and very soon i got a break. It seemed to be a transition from a winter of despair to a spring of hope. The gentleman was a prodigiously well bred man, with a great superiority of mind, a genuine concern or at least its expression, i never had a problem working with him.
To my utter surprise when he went on leave i found myself jubilant, now what was that? i enjoy the absence of a good boss and a bad boss both !!! i have to be harebrained to think like that, but over the time i have seen this fact is universally acknowledged albeit not openly.
The fact that you are not being chaperoned gives a sense of freedom and emancipation, you are the master of your life in your office, you feel exactly like a modern teenager who party's when parents are away.
Why did i write all this today ??? i leave it to your own surmises :)

I agree 100%, but not even about the bosses, but wrt to the absence of anyone who holds a superior position in the same team...as long as the authority figures are absent, the team breathes easy!
