My department head came over to tell me he was going to leave at 4:30pm, so he could take his son to soccer practice. Keep in mind this man comes to work at 7am every day, eats lunch at his desk and never really gets a day off. He hasn't been on the road this week because of budget meetings and whatnot, so he's helped his wife by taking their son to soccer and even got to catch a game yesterday.
Well, this morning his son asked, "Daddy, is everything OK? You're not getting fired are you?"
My boss told him he didn't think so and asked why the question came up. His son said the saddest thing I've heard all day.
"Well, you never get to see me play soccer, and I was afraid you'd gotten fired."
Bless his little heart.
