  • My boss (female, grew up in Communist Russia) to the head of the desk (male, French).
  • Her: "My daughter was in the ER tonight, I need to leave a little bit early today."
  • Him: "The emergency room! Of course! Leave whenever you need to!"
  • Her: "Ok, thanks. I just need to leave a little bit early tonight, like at 8:00."
