Allan retired in his early 50 s and started a second career However even though he loved his new job he just couldn t seem to get to work on time Every day he was 5 10 15 minutes late But he was a good worker and really sharp so his boss was in a quandary about how to deal with it Finally one day his boss called him into the office for a talk Allan I must tell you I truly like your work ethic you do a bang-up job but being late for work nearly every day is quite annoying to me as well as your fellow workers Allan replied Yes sir I know I m sorry but I am working on it That s what I like to hear his boss said However the fact that you consistently come to work late does puzzle me because I understand that you retired from the United States Air Force and they have some pretty rigid rules about tardiness Isn t that correct? Yes I did retire from the Air Force and I m mighty proud of it said Allan Well what did they say when you came in late? asked his boss They said Good morning General
