Surprise!

I got a rather startling surprise this morning at work. I knew we had a funeral, followed by burial at the National Cemetery. The services called for a limousine to carry the family. We were discussing who would be driving the limousine when my boss said to the guy who asked about the driving tasks, "you take limousine and Granimore can drive the hearse to the cemetery." I was stunned. I assumed my boss would be coming with us today, but once again he elected to stay behind and let me handle the procession. So for the second day in a row, I led the procession to the National Cemetery, handled the services up there, took care of the family, and made it back all in one piece.

Outstanding! Sounds like confidence is building all time, both yours and your bosses!

I'm not sure if it's confidence in me on their part, or if it's just that we're short-handed with the owner on vacation :)

Still, I hope the owner will be pleased to know that I was able to step up and assume some responsibilities.
