read and beware

A sales rep, an administration clerk, and the manager
are walking to lunch when they find an antique oil lamp.
They rub it and a Genie comes out. The Genie says,
"I'll give each of you just one wish."

"Me first! Me first!" says the admin clerk.
"I want to be in the Bahamas , driving a speedboat,
without a care in the world."

Puff! She's gone.

"Me next! Me next!" says the sales rep. "I want to be
in Hawaii , relaxing on the beach with my personal
masseuse, an endless supply of Pina Coladas and
the love of my life."

Puff! He's gone.

"OK, you're up," the Genie says to the manager.
The manager says, "I want those two back in the
office after lunch."

Moral of the story:

Always let your boss have the first say.

HI Les

Hope you're enjoying the 49er.

With my leader I don't get the chance to speak!
