When I take a long

When I take a long time, I am slow.When my boss takes a long time, he is thorough.When I don’t do it, I am lazy.When my boss doesn’t do it, he’s too busy.When I do it without being told, I’m trying to be smart.When my boss does the same, that is initiative.When I please my boss, that’s brown-nosing.When my boss pleases his boss, that’s co-operating.When I do good, my boss never remembers.When I do wrong, he never forgets.

Pay for your past bills

A customer sent an order to a distributor for a large amount of goods totaling a great deal of money. The distributor noticed that the previous bill hadn’t been paid. The collections manager left a voice-mail for them saying, “We can’t ship your new order until you pay for the last one.” The next day the collections manager received a collect phone call, “Please cancel the order. We can’t wait that long.”
