просто несколько примеров из наших разговоров с моим боссом....

Email from Manuel: Jelena, most of the global communications have been sent out, but still some place for improvement. I guess it would help if you turned out sober at the office more often…
Me: Thanks, you know how hard I try to be sober. Today I even put a spoon of coffee in my vodka glass to balance my state of mind a bit. Do you have time after lunch for a chat about the press conference? If you do, I’ll book a room around 3 o’clock. Or tell me when it’s better for you, I will skip my drink at lunch then. And about the campaigns – if I haven’t sent them out, there were reasons (and no, Manu, not that I was too drunk that day).
Manuel: Meeting at 3 is fine, let me know which room is booked. Campaigns sent – this is one of the criteria used for the quarterly bonus. When one campaign is irrelevant for you (low number of punters in the selection, conflict with other campaigns etc), let me know and I will scrap that from the list. Soberness – I really doubt that.

Email from Manu: Hi Jelena, see attached some materials from the spring press conference. Regarding the questions that journalists might ask, things to remember: start all the answers by thanking for the question, do not disclose any of the terms of the partnership, be sober!!!
Me: All clear. Just one question: do I REALLY have to be sober for the conferece? I mean, it's on Thursday morning! How can I possibly be sober then? I will prepare the answers and would be good to go throgh them before Wednesday.

вот так и работаем - тихо, мирно. в среду лечу в Латвию в мою первую командировку. классно, когда работа оплачивает билеты домой.
