BOSS FIRES SECRETARY JUST BEFORE CHRISTMAS .A lot of people want to know why the mean boss fired his secretary just 2 weeks before Christmas. Well, I'll tell you... it was a couple of weeks before Christmas, but more importantly, it was also my birthday. I was pretty worried because people at my office were writing me off for 40 years old. Don't they know that I am STILL in my 30's (even if it is for only another year). Anyway, I didn't feel very well waking up on that morning. . I went downstairs for breakfast hoping Kristen 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 will remember. . Megan and Jenna came bounding down stairs 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, Jane, my secretary said, "Good Morning Boss, and by the way Happy Birthday! "I 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 greatest 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 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, " Steve, 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, she came out carrying a huge birthday cake .. Followed by my wife Kristen, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday. And I just sat there...... . On the couch...... . Naked! | |
