Workplace Stories: In the eyes of your Boss, It's a Dog's life after all

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he saw a Dog
coming inside the shop. He shoos him away.But later, the Dog is back
again. So, he goes over to the Dog and notices hehas a note in his
mouth.
He takes the note and it reads, "Can I have 12 Sausages and a leg of
Lamb, please. The Dog has money in his mouth, as well". The butcher
looks inside and, behold, a ten dollar bill. So he takes the money and
putsthe sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the Dog's mouth.
The butcher is so impressed, and since it's about closing time, he
decides to shut up shop and follow the Dog. The Dog is walking down
the street when he comes to a level crossing. The Dog puts down the
bag, jumps up and presses thebutton. Then he waits patiently, bag in
mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road,
with the butcher following him allthe way.
The Dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable.
The butcher is in awe at this stage. The Dog checks out the times,
andthen sits on one of the seats provided. Along comes a bus. The Dog
walks around to the front, looks at the number, and goes back to his
seat. Another bus comes. Again the Dog goes and looks at the number,
notices it's the right bus, and climbs on.
The butcher, by now, open-mouthed, follows him onto the bus. The bus
travels through the town and out into the suburbs, the Dog looking at
the scenery. Eventually he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus.
He stands on 2 back paws and pushes the button to stop the bus. Then
he gets off, his groceries stillin his mouth. Well, Dog and butcher
are walking along the road, and then the Dog turns into a house.
He walks up the path, and drops the groceries on the step. Then he
walks back down the path, takes a big run, andthrows himself against
the door. He goes back down the path, runs up to the door and again,
it throws himself against it.
There's no answer at the house, so the Dog goes back down the path,
jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along theperimeter of the garden.
He gets to the window, and beats his head against it several times,
walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door.
The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts abusing
the Dog, kicking him and punching him, and swearing at him.
The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. "What in heaven's name are you
doing? The Dog is a genius. He could be on TV!" to which the guy
responds: "You call this clever? This is the second time this week
that this stupid Dog's forgotten his key."
Moral of the story: You may continue to exceed onlookers' expectations
but shall always fall short of the boss's expectations! It's a Dog's
life after all.
