To all the secretaries (and those who do admin work occassionally like me)... do not try something like this.....
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 even have a small present for me.
As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone the greeting.
I thought ... well, that's marriage for you, but the kids ... they will remember.
Soon, my kids came downstairs for breakfast, but they also 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 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 that 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.
Jane chose instead to have lunch at a quiet bistro with a private table.
We had two martinis each, and I enjoyed the meal and her company 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."
" Okay ! " I nervously replied.
Jane went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes,
she 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 To You …….. ".
And I just sat there ... on the couch ... all naked !
And that was why I fired my secretary.
