Well, I ended up having to fire my administrative assistant yesterday. I hate it when I have to fire someone, but I was even worse since it was my birthday. I'm sure you'll understand after you read what happened:
Yesterday 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 to breakfast and didn't say a word. So when I left for the office, I was feeling pretty low and somewhat despondent.
As I walked to my office, my administrative assistant Jane said, "Good Morning, Steve, Happy Birthday!"
I felt a little better that at least someone had remembered. I worked until one 0'clock and then Jane knocked on my door and said "You know it's such a beautiful day outside, and it's your birthday, why don't you
and I go out to lunch."
I said, "Thanks Jane, that's the nicest thing I've heard all day, let's go. Wanna ride on my motorcycle?". My wife is the jealous type, so I don't usually offer other women rides on my motorcycle. But, since my wife forgot my birthday, I figured 'what the hell'.
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 enjoyed the meal tremendously.
On the way back to the office, while holding me tight when I stopped for a stop sign, 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, "Steve, 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, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers, all singing "Happy Birthday".
And I just sat there . . . . .
On the couch . . . . .

it's humor :lol:
