That's what she wrote on my "Happy Retirement" poster/card. Do you remember, she asked?
I did not. Then she told me about the time several years ago when I was her boss. I was a terrible boss and made many mistakes. Our department had gone through a particularly tough week, although I can't recall the specifics. Anyway, even I could tell that my staff was down, and I mean, way down.
I walked into their office with the local newspaper opened to the movies listing. "Choose a movie. We're gettin' outta here."
They chose "Jurassic Park." And we spent the afternoon eating popcorn and watching cool dinosaurs. And, at least once, I was a good manager.
