Is your boss a good man?

Yes he is.

Your boss, Gabriel, was a good man. He always arrived before his employee's and he always was supportive of them, and by extension you. He never asked more than he knew each person could put in, he always knew what to say and how to say it, and it never crossed your mind to insult to the man when the going got tough. For some reason he actually enjoyed coming to work every day, and he spent most of hist working hours attempting to fix the old and decrepit restaurant

But he was constantly walked over by his underlings and his superiors. He was passed promotion too many times to be healthy simply because he didn't blow the corporate ladder. He was walked all over on by his employee's who worked less and dumped work on him

You decide that today would be his lucky day.

You start small. The graffiti on the building is gone, replaced by a fresh coat of expertly applied paint. The bullet holes fill in, the cracks seal themselves, the pavement becomes brand new. The building looks newer than it probably did when it was first built!

Your second wish is just as small. The windows become sparkling clean, the sun suddenly filtered in the once drab and musty building. The whole building looks professional and exactly the model of quality that it is boasted to be. At least in commercials.

"What happened here?" You hear a car door slamming shut as your boss takes astounded steps next to you.

You snicker at his jaw dropped expression, the thirty year old man gaping like a fish as the building he loved looked like a dream location.

"You going to open the doors?" You ask at the 10 minute mark, his expression ranging from disbelief to gratitude.

"John" He starts, slowly as his brain works overtime. "Did you do this?"

You wish you could remember the expression on his face as you nod. You could, but the expression still stands as he tilts his head back and whispers a quiet "thank you."

Is the day as good as it started?
