Why I Fired My Secretary?


Typical Man!

Why I fired my Secretary.

Last week was my birthday and I didn't feel very well waking up on that

morning.

I went downstairs for breakfast hoping my wife would be pleasant and
say,
"Happy Birthday!", and possibly have a small present for me.

As it turned out, she barely said good morning, let alone " Happy
Birthday."

I thought...

Well, that's marriage for you, but the kids... They will remember.

My kids came bounding down stairs to breakfast and didn't say a word.
So when I left for the office, I felt pretty low and somewhat
despondent.

As I walked into my office, my secretary Jane said, "Good Morning
Boss, and
by the way Happy Birthday ! "
It felt a little better that at least someone had remembered.

I worked until one o'clock , when Jane knocked on my door and said,
"You
know, It's such a beautiful day outside,
and it is your Birthday, what do you say we go out to lunch, just you
and
me."
I said, "Thanks, Jane, that's the greatest thing I've heard all day.
Let's
go !"

We went to lunch. But we didn't go where we normally would go.
She chose instead at a quiet bistro with a private table.
We had two martinis each and I enjoyed the meal tremendously.

On the way back to the office, Jane said, "You know, It's such a
beautiful
day... We don't need to go straight back to the office,
Do We ?"

I responded, "I guess not. What do you have in mind ?"
She said, "Let's drop by my apartment, it's just around the corner."

After arriving at her apartment, Jane turned to me and said, " Boss,
if you
don't mind,
I'm going to step into the bedroom for just a moment.
I'll be right back." "Ok." I nervously replied.

She went into the bedroom and, after a couple of minutes, she came out

carrying a huge birthday cake ...
Followed by my wife, my kids, and dozens of my friends and co-workers,
all
singing "Happy Birthday".


And I just sat there...


On the couch...

[Senin 7 April 2008] Rp 7 M untuk UN dan UASBN


JOGJA – Dinas Pendidikan DIJ telah menyiapkan anggaran sebesar Rp 7 miliar untuk pelaksanaan ujian nasional (UN) dan ujian akhir sekolah berstandar nasional (UASBN). Di DIJ, UN digelar 22-24 April, sementara UASBN pada 13-15 Mei.
”Untuk pelaksanaan ujian ini, anggaran murni dari pemerintah. Sekolah dan siswa tidak dibebani,” ujar Kepala Bidang Bina Program Dinas Pendidikan DIJ Drs Baskoro Aji akhir pekan kemarin.
Anggaran ini, lanjut Baskoro, diambilkan dari APBD provinsi dan kabupaten di tiap daerah dan sudah mulai didistribusikan ke panitia dan sekolah penyelenggara. Dana ini dibagikan melalui ranting dan cabang dinas di wilayah masing-masing.
Diungkapkan Baskoro, anggaran penyelenggaraan UN dan UASBN tahun ini jauh lebih besar ketimbang tahun lalu. Tahun 2007, anggaran untuk UN sekitar Rp 5,5 miliar. ”Tahun ini lebih besar karena juga sekaligus untuk pelaksanaan UASBN,” tuturnya.
Terkait persiapan pelaksanaan UN, birokrat bertubuh subur ini mengatakan, sudah memasuki tahap akhir. Saat ini, lembar soal dan jawaban sudah jadi dan siap dikirim ke sekolah-sekolah. ”Sudah selesai. Tinggal nanti pas pelaksanaan dikirimkan ke sekolah,” tambahnya.
Untuk mengantisipasi terjadi kekurangan soal, tahun ini jumlah cadangan soal yang dikirim ke sekolah diperbanyak. Yakni lima soal untuk masing-masing model soal. ”Untuk soal ganjil dan genap, kami berikan lima cadangan soal tiap sekolah,” urainya.
Sementara itu beberapa sekolah sudah mulai melakukan persiapan menghadapi UN. Misalnya memberikan latihan soal, pelajaran tambahan hingga try out kepada para siswa. Ada juga sekolah yang mengadakan bimbingan rohani kepada siswa agar lebih siap saat menghadapi UN.
”Semua siswa kelas tiga selama dua hari diminta menginap di sekolah untuk berdoa bersama sebagai persiapan menghadapi UN,” ungkap Zaim, salah satu siswa SMA Muhammadiyah 2 Jogja.
Zaim mengaku, bimbingan rohani itu membuat siswa lebih siap menghadapi UN. ”Jujur, setelah mengikuti bimbingan rohani saya menjadi lebih siap baik segi mental maupun materi,” akunya. (sam)
