Why I fired my secretary . . .
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very
well waking up that morning. I went downstairs for
breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and say,
"Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a 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 will remember. My kids
came in 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, Happy Birthday!" It felt a little
better that at least someone had remembered. I worked
until one o'clock and then Jane knocked on my door and
said, "You know, it's such a beautiful day
outside, and it's your birthday, let's go out to
lunch, just you and me." I said, "Thanks Jane, that's
the greatest thing I've heard all day.
Let's go!" We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we
normally would go. We dined instead at a little place
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 back to the
office, do we?"
I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in
mind?" She said, "Let's go to my apartment." 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 a moment. I'll be right back."
"Ok." I nervously replied.
She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of
minutes, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake
... Followed by my wife, kids, and dozens of my
friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday".
And I just sat there...
On the couch...
