What a nice boss......
Yesterday when I got to work I had a note on my desk to ask my boss about gas prices. Huh?? I am his personal secretary and I only work 3 hours a day. I pay his bills, collect rents for him, stuff like that, so gas prices?? Anyway, when he got there he told me that since I use my personal car to take bank deposits (maybe 3 times a month cause I usually wait till I have several checks) and occasionally pick up the mail, that he wants to give me "kind of" a raise. Now mind you the banks and post office I go to are within 6 blocks of his office in a downtown area in our small town. He told me that once a month he wants me to fill up my car (and to make sure it is on empty when I do
) and charge it to him at this station he uses.
WOW, that is like getting approx. a $60.00 (with the gas prices what they are right now) raise without any taxes, etc. taken out.
What a wonderful boss I have!!!!!!!

Wow! He is a great boss!
How considerate of him and lucky you." May we never let the things we can’t have or don’t have or shouldn’t have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness, let us not forget it. One of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have."

That is wonderful. Its good to have that nice of a boss that is that thoughtful. I know how much it means. My husband drives a company vehicle and they pay for the gas. Since his job is an hour from home that really means a lot.

That's a terrific raise and probably couldn't have came at a better time with the gas prices being what they are! You are very right when you say you have a nice boss, your boss is a peach!!!
