Tom was in his early 50s, retired and started a second career.
However, he just couldn’t seem to get to work on time. Every day, he was five, 10, 15 minutes late.
But, he was a good worker and real sharp, so the boss was in a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally, one day he called Tom into his office for a talk.
“Tom, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic. You do a bang- up job, but your being late so often is quite bothersome.”
“Yes, I know boss and I am working on it.”
“Well good, you are a team player. That’s what I like to hear.
It’s odd though, your coming in late. I know you’re retired from the Air Force. What did they say if you came in late there?”
“They said, ‘Good morning, General.’”
