As the manager passed the blonde's cubicle, he noticed she was sobbing. He asked, "What's the matter?"
She replied, "I just learned that my mother died this morning."
The boss felt sorry for her. "Go on home and take the rest of the day off."
"Thanks, but I'd rather stay here and work to keep my mind off it," she said.
He agreed, and she stayed on.
A couple of hours later, he checked in on her and found her crying hysterically. "Now what? Are you okay? Are you sure you don't want to go home?" he asked.
"No!" exclaimed the blonde. "I just spoke with my sister and got more terrible news .............. her mother died, too!"
