      My boss is currently handling my workload as well as his own while I, his only employee, am doing my last level of apprenticeship classroom training. He’s done this for me every time I’ve gone away to school or for vacation for the past 3 years.

      Yesterday I got a call from one of our top customers so I relayed the call to my boss.

      He answers the phone. I say the thing is spewing oil. He lets out a huge sigh and goes “OOOOHHH man I can’t wait for you to come back. I’ll get it, thanks for taking the call, bye”

      I’m 7 weeks down with 3 to go til I’m back to work and the man is beat.
