During a boring day at the office, my boss called me on the phone and asked, “Are the insurance quotes ready?” When I heard my boss say that, I was in a state of panic and managed to lie, “Yes sir, they are all ready.” “Okay, I will be in the office in an hour. Just put them on the table, and I will review them later,” he said and dropped the call.

I thought to myself, how can I even forget that? My boss asked me to get the insurance quotes last week. How can that ever slip my mind? I automatically printed everything that I can find on the Internet and called my sister to help me call different insurance companies. I asked her to give our fax number and request them to fax their insurance quotes to me.

Luckily, I was able to get everything that I needed in less than an hour and put everything on my boss’ desk just before he arrived.
