Memo from Director General to Manager:
Today at 11 o'clock there will be a total eclipse of the sun. This is when
the sun disappears behind the moon for two minutes. As this is something
that cannot be seen every day, time will be allowed for employees to view
the eclipse in the car park. Staff should meet in the car park at ten to
eleven, when I will deliver a short speech introducing the eclipse, and
giving some background information. Safety goggles will be made available
at a small cost.
Memo from Manager to Department Head:
Today at ten to eleven, all staff should meet in the car park. This will be
followed by a total eclipse of the sun, which will disappear for two
minutes. For a moderate cost, this will be made safe with goggles. The
Director General will deliver a short speech beforehand to give us all some
background information. This is not something that can be seen every day.
Memo from Department Head to Floor Manager:
The Director General will today deliver a short speech to make the sun
disappear for two minutes in the eclipse. This is something that cannot be
seen every day, so staff will meet in the car park at ten or eleven. This
will be safe, if you pay a moderate cost.
Memo From Floor Manager to Supervisor:
Ten or eleven staff are to go to the car park, where the Director General
will eclipse the sun for two minutes. This doesn't happen every day. It
will be safe, but it will cost you.
Memo from Supervisor to staff:
Some staff will go to the car park today to see the Director general
disappear. It is a pity this doesn't happen every day.

Dear Friend,
As you got up this morning, I watched you and hoped you would talk to
me, even if it was just a few words, asking my opinion, or thanking me
for something good that happened in your life yesterday. But I noticed
you were too busy trying to find the right outfit to put on and wear to
school.
I waited again. When you ran around the house getting ready, I knew
there would be a few minutes for you to stop and say hello. But you
were too busy. At one point, you had to wait fifteen minutes without
nothing to do except sit in a chair.
Then I saw you spring to your feet. I thought you wanted to talk to me
but you ran to the phone and called a friend to get the latest gossip.
I watched as you went to school and I waited patiently all day long.
With all your activities, I guess you were too busy to say anything
to me. I noticed that before lunch you looked around. Maybe you felt
embarrassed to talk to me, that is why you didn't bow your head. You
glanced three or four tables over and you noticed some of your friends
talking to me briefly before they ate. But you didn't.
That's okay. There is still more time left and I have hope that you
will talk to me. Even yet, you went home and it seemed as if you had
lots of things to do. After a few of them were done you turned on the
TV. I don't know if I like TV or not. Just about anything goes there &
you spend a lot of time each day in front of it, not thinking about
anything; just enjoying the show. I waited patiently again as you
watched TV and ate your meal. But again you didn't talk to me. As you
did your homework, I waited again. You did what you had to do.
At bedtime I guess you felt too tired. After you said goodnight to your
family you plopped into bed and fell asleep in no time.
That's okay because you may not realize that I am always there for you.
I've got patience. More than you will ever know. I even want to teach
you how to be patient with others as well. Because I love you so much.
A long time ago, I left a wonderful place called Heaven and came to
Earth. I gave it up so that I could be ridiculed and made fun of. And
I even died so you wouldn't have to take my place. I love you so much
that I wait everyday for a nod, prayer, thought, or a thankful part of
your heart. It is hard to have a one-sided conversation.
Well you are getting up again and once again I will wait with nothing
but love for you; hoping that today you will give me some time. Have a
nice day!
Your friend,
Jesus
P.S. Do you have enough time to send this to another person?
