Next stop, Berlin...

At the game last night the topic of places to visit came up at the dinner table with two very high members of ze company and myself (Both have global in their job description). When I mentioned I would be going to Berlin this weekend the Dr. from AG said it would be a good place to watch the game, but there's no way I would be able to make it to work on Monday if I did. I said if Germany won I would have to have a chat about Monday with my direct supervisor here in the morning. So today I had to stop in the office and pick up some things from my supervisor and I hesitate on making any comments about time off since I know they wont be accepted well. Surprisingly he had a meeting with the Dr. at the time we would be finishing. So we go to another office and when we come back the Dr. is waiting in his office. We talk business for a few minutes then the good Doctor drops a line, 'Mr. X, I think Mr. Brown is going to need Monday off.' Much like I couldn't refuse dinner this is a request that my boss couldn't refuse. So far everything's coming up Milhouse this week...
