Maxine and Signs from Mac M)

Employee: Excuse me sir, may I talk to you? Boss: Sure, come on in… What can I do for you? Employee: Well sir, as you know, I have been an employee of this prestigious firm for over ten years. Boss: Yes. Employee: I won't beat around the bush. Sir, I would like a raise. I currently have four companies after me and so I decided to talk to you first. Boss: A raise? I would love to give you a raise, but this is  just not the right time. Employee: I understand your position, and I know that the  current economic down turn has had a negative  impact on sales, But you must also take into consideration my hard work, pro-activeness and loyalty to this company  for over a decade.. Boss: Taking into account these factors, and considering I don't want to start a brain drain, I'm willing to offer you a ten percent raise and an extra five days of vacation time. How does that sound? Employee: Great! It's a deal Thank you, sir! Boss: Before you go, just out of curiosity, what companies are after you? Employee: Oh, the Electric Company, Gas Company, Water Company and the Mortgage Company!  _____________________________________________________________________________ (Today in History Click) http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history (Sharpen your vocabulary by clicking Word for the Day) www.merriam-webster.com/word-of-the-day (For today's Horoscope click Today's Horoscope) http://today.msnbc.msn.com/id/8404539/   ____________________________________________________________   (Maxine)   _____________________________________________________________   Signs from Mac M of Florence OR
