However, even though he loved his new job, he just couldn't seem to get to workon time. Every day, he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a goodworker and really sharp, so his boss was in a quandary about how to deal withit. Finally, one day, his boss called him into the office for a talk. "Gene, I must tell you, I truly like your work, you do a bang-up job, but being late for work nearly every day is quite annoying to me aswell as your fellow workers." Gene replied, "Yes, sir, I know. I'm sorry, but I am working on it." "That's what I like to hear," his boss said. "However, the fact that you consistently come to work late does puzzle me, because I understand that you retired from the United States Navy, and they have some pretty rigid rules about tardiness. Isn't that correct?" "Yes. I did retire from the Navy, and I'm mighty proud of it!" saidGene. "Well, what did they say when you came in late?" asked his boss. "They said, 'Good morning, Admiral." | ||
