>> Why I fired My Secretary
>>
>> Two weeks ago was my 44th birthday and I wasn't feeling too hot that
>> morning. I went down to breakfast knowing my wife would be pleasant and
>> say "Happy Birthday" and probably have a present for me.
>> She didn't even say "Good Morning", let alone any "Happy Birthday" I
>> thought,
>> "Well,
>> that's wives for you. The children will remember. The children came down
>> to breakfast and didn't say a word.
>>
>> When I started to the office I was feeling pretty low and despondent. As
>> I
>> walked
>> into my office, my secretary, Janet said," Good Morning, Boss, Happy
>> Birthday."
>> I felt a little better. Someone had remembered. I worked until noon, then
>> Janet
>> knocked on my door and said," You know it is such a beautiful day outside
>> and it
>> is your
>> birthday, let's go to lunch, just you and me."
>> I said, "By George, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day. Let's
>> go. We
>> went to lunch.
>> We didn't go where we normally go. We went out into the country to a
>> little
>> private place.
>> We had two martinis and enjoyed lunch tremendously.
>>
>> On the way back to the office, she said, "You know, it is such a beautiful
>> day, we don't need to go back to the office, do we?" I said, "No, I guess
>> not." She said, "Let's go to my apartment." After arriving at her
>> apartment she said, "Boss, if you don't mind, I think I'll go into the
>> bedroom and slip into something more comfortable. "Sure," I excitedly
>> replied. She went into the bedroom and, in about six minutes she came out
>> carrying a big birthday cake, followed by my wife, children and dozens of
>> our friends.
>> They were all singing Happy Birthday.................
