Sally goes to work one morning, crying her eyes out.

Her boss, concerned for his employee, walks over to her and asks sympathetically, “What’s the matter?”

The blonde replies, “Early this morning, I got a phone call that my mother had passed away.”

The boss, feeling very sorry at this point, suggests to the young girl, “Why don’t you go home for the day… we aren’t terribly busy. Just take the day off and go relax.”

Sally very calmly states, “No, I’d be better off here. I need to keep my mind busy, and I have the best chance of doing that here.”

The boss agrees and allows her to work as usual.

“If you need anything, just let me know,” says the boss.

A few hours pass, and the boss decides to check on Sally. He looks out of his office and sees her crying hysterically.

He rushes over and asks, “What’s the matter now? Are you going to be ok?”

Sally breaks down in tears, “I just received a horrible call from my sister. She said that her mom di3d too!!”
