The Admin Head of a large organization called for the new employee to see him in his office.
Once the new employee was seated, the Admin Head asked, "What's your name?"
The new employee replied, "Jonathan."
The Admin Head snapped, "Listen, I have no idea what kind of a place you worked at before, but out here, I call everyone here by their surnames. If I start calling people by their first names, they would start taking things lightly. So, its Smith, Williams, Brown - that's it. Now that I have made myself clear, tell me your last name."
The new employee said, "My last name is Honey."
The Admin Head said, "Okay Jonathan, I will arrange for your orientation and then...."

Gabriel was a late-comer. He would always be late to work and had been reprimanded many times by his boss, Mr. Ambrose. The problem with Gabriel was that he just could not get himself to leave the bed in the morning. When he was late once again during the busy last week of the month, Mr. Ambrose gave him a final warning, "One more time you are late, and you are permanently out of here."
Gabriel went to see a doctor and narrated his predicament. The doctor gave him a few medicines and asked him to take it after meals.
Gabriel felt relaxed and got up early in the morning. He had a hearty breakfast and made it to his office before time.
The moment he saw Mr. Ambrose walk in, Gabriel said, "Well Mr. Ambrose, I will not give you a reason to get upset again. I feel fresh as a Daisy!"
"That's okay" said Mr. Ambrose, "But why were you not in office yesterday?"

Good morning everyboomie.
Slow day in the diner I see. We usually have at least a dozen post.
Not sure how much longer I'll be able to afford to keep the doors open at that pace.
I guess people got busy Summer activities going on, with traveling and visiting.
I hope everyone is having a good Spring/Summer, and travels safely.
Have a happy day everyone.
