Why I Fired My Secretary!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well when I woke up
that morning.
I went downstairs for breakfast, hoping my wife would be pleasant and
say, "Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me.
As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone "Happy
Birthday."
I thought...Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids...They'll
remember.
My kids came bouncing downstairs to breakfast and didn't say a word. So
when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat despondent.
As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good Morning Boss,
and by the way Happy Birthday!"
It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked
until one o'clock, when Jane knocked on my door and said, "You know,
It's such a beautiful day outside, and it is your Birthday, what do you
say we go out to lunch, just you and me."
I said, "Thanks, Jane, that's the best thing I've heard all day. Let's
go!"
We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go. She chose
instead at a quiet bistro with a private table. We had two martinis each
and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.
On the way back to the office, Jane said, "You know, it's such a
beautiful day...We don't need to go straight back to the office, Do We?"
I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind?"
She said, "Let's drop by my apartment; it's just around the corner."
After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, "Boss, if
you don't mind, I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment.
I'll be right back."
"Ok." I nervously replied.
She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, came out
carrying a huge birthday cake...Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens
of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday".
And I just sat there...
On the couch...
