There was a fishing tournament last weekend & I absolutely wanted to enter the tournament.
I told our boss a couple of weeks ago about the Anglers convention… He promised to deliver myself and others the day off so I could go.
When the schedule for Heating & Air Conditioning repair specialists came out at the beginning of the week, our name was on the schedule for Saturday. I politely reminded our boss that I advised that day off. He absolutely forgot that I made the request & he had myself and others tied up to help with a commercial Heating & Air Conditioning upgrade task. He told myself and others that he would find someone else to work their shift, however the schedule reMained the same throughout the week; On Sunday day I asked the boss if he found someone to work on Saturday. He had not found anyone, so I was going to work the task & cancel the tournament. I did not have much chance of winning anyways & I figured the boss gave myself and others a $100 bill which was the cost of our tournament entry fee. I told the boss on Sunday day not to worry about the task. I would be there bright & early on Saturday. That’s when he informed myself and others that he already found someone to take care of the task. He thanked myself and others for being a team player & then he reached into his pocket & gave myself and others $45. He told myself and others to put that towards our entry fee & consider it a bonus. I have to admit that his act of generosity absolutely surprised me.
