You’re sitting at your desk dreaming about the weekend ahead



You’re sitting at your desk dreaming about the weekend ahead. It’s a three day weekend and you and your significant other have tickets and reservations for a fun-filled time in the Cayman Islands. Your plane leaves at 6:45 pm. You look at your watch and realize that it’s almost 3 pm. Your bags are in your car and you can’t wait to get out of here! It’s going to be great!Just then, your boss comes in and says, “Jones, I’m concerned about our accounts receivable history. I think we have a lot outstanding and I know they’re very difficult to collect. I want a report on my desk Tuesday morning that shows every customer that has a balance over $500 that is more than 30 days old. Any questions?”A huge lump forms in your throat! There goes the weekend. You’ll spend hours digging that information out of the computer. You have a sudden impulse to tell the boss to forget it but the thought of your car payment, rent, food, and other bills slap you in the face, and you realize you can’t afford to lose your job. You reply, “Not at the moment, boss, but I’ll contact you if I have any.”“OK, Jones, that’s the spirit,” says the boss and walks out.You put your head down on the desk and feel like crying. How are you going to tell your significant other? If you don’t make the trip there will be hell to pay. What are you going to do?Stay tuned for the further adventures of “The Weekend of Jones” coming soon! ................
