Why I fired my Secretary
Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on 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 will remember.
My kids 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, 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 greatest thing I've heard all day, let's go !'
We went to lunch, but 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 totally naked.
