I left the office in a hurry on Friday afternoon.
I was in the middle of a conference call with three other regional branches, when my wife called to tell me that our son fell out of a tree.
He was hanging out with some friends and they were playing in the park. They decided to climb some trees and he lost his balance and fell on his arm. I left work immediately after receiving the call and I drove right to the hospital. My wife met me in the emergency room and we both went to see our son. Luckily, the break wasn’t too severe. The doctor put a cast on his arm and he will not be able to use that part of his body for the next six weeks. In the meantime, our son will have to stay indoors and watch TV and play video games. He won’t be able to go outside and enjoy physical activities with his friends. I went back to the office on Saturday morning to retrieve some files I forgot on Friday. I also left my watch next to the computer. The watch was an anniversary gift from my wife on our fifth anniversary. When I didn’t see the watch, I immediately thought the cleaning crew stole it. I called the security staff to file a complaint against the cleaning crew. As soon as I mentioned my name, the security staff told me that they had my watch. A member of the cleaning crew did find the watch on my desk. The cleaning lady thought it was important and decided to give it to security so it would not get lost or stolen. I assumed the cleaning person stole my watch. Next time I won’t be so quick to judge.
