Jim wanted to leave work and go fishing on Friday afternoon but he had used all of his time off.
He decided he would meet with his boss and tell him that he had to go to a funeral.
“Who died?” his boss asked.
“My old friend Cliff Johnson ” Jim replied. .
So the boss gave him permission to go.
On the following Monday, when Jim reached work there was a note on his desk that read “See me, the boss “
When Jim entered the boss’s office the boss asked him —“Do you believe in life after death?”
Jim thought a moment and answered” I’m not sure, why do you ask?”
Because answered the boss
“About an hour and a half after you left a man named Cliff Johnson came in looking for you!”

Not at the time it wasn't Randy, now, oh well lesson learned and not to hold down the already cut side.

I have a bit of a gifting in that field
(psychic) - Myrna calls me “psycho”.🤣 I prefer to call it “a gift of discernment”. 🥴
(the jury’s still out)
She may be right…
Had a roustabout that called in sick several times a month
Every year at the start of deer season he would have a family member pass and needed 3 days off.
Always gave it to him.
Never was sure how many siblings he had but was at least 6???
Very good hand when he was there.
In 1970 I was working for a company in Denver Colorado when my grandmother died and I asked for time off to go to her funeral. The boss said ok and bring back prof of death. I did and gave him my 2 weeks notice. Got a better job with more thrust and money.

I understand that.
The lesson of the story is NEVER tell your friends where you work. LOL
Where I was working we had to turn in our normal Vacation requests in Jan. I put in for the 2nd and 3rd week of May. First week of May boss came to me and said I couldn't take my vacation. Told him that the reservations were already in and they should have told me back in January. Went on vacation and after I came back the company folded. Management had been told not to let people take vacation as they wouldn't have to pay the vacation they had on the books. "Unsecured Creditors" is what the employees vacation time saved up was called. No one ever got paid for that. Until then never had a problem about my vacation times.
