Sure, sure, we can all heap piles of disapprobation on poor Bernie’s head, but he’s right. Lila did use her longtime friendship with her manager to get special treatment. Whether it’s for a good cause or not isn’t the point: the rules were broken for Lila.
Non-parents in particular often experience discrimination by default: parents usually demand more time off, more flexible hours, more last-minute rescheduling…
We don’t like to think of work as a zero-sum game, but if a certain amount of work must be done and some team members don’t do their share, then others have to do more. Tisn’t fair.
Lila needs to be out of this job. She’s been constantly under quota, she’s been bitter and hated it all, and now she’s needing special accomodation on top of this.
I know my team won’t win, but TEAM BERNIE on this one!
So who all is going to Barcelona with Annie? Trace asked Dr Fine for a subsidy for “Annie’s favorite teacher”, ie., a trip for himself. Barcelona is one of the wildest, remarkable cities in the world, with lots of parties and playmates for any persuasion..
Are Lila, Alan and Trace all travelling with Annie?.
Dr Klein has been wanting to go out of town with Lila, and he might want to spend time with Lila on this trip..
Does Trace have a sordid history with Alan?.The soil in Barcelona is rich with opportunities for madcap fun if all four adults mentioned tag along to the Party Central for Catalonia.

cesna172 , I think boyd meant Bernie was approached at the 3:00 oclock position relative to where Lila was sitting.

Actually Boyd was saying the time was 3 o’clock, and here comes Bernie like clockwork. (Kidding!)

Bernie is pathetic, I almost feel sorry for him. To go through your life like that is such a waste.
