At the beginning of the month
four days ago
:38:37
Georg started his new job.
:38:41
Things didn't go smoothly.
:38:43
Perhaps you'll recall
:38:45
that when he was transfered,
:38:47
his new boss was quite hostile.
:38:50
You could say he won that battle.
:38:54
His commitment has rejuvenated
the department
:38:57
and since his boss has recently
been suffering
:38:59
from a rather stubborn
intestinal ailment
:39:01
and has been mostly out sick,
:39:04
they've asked Georg
to step in
:39:06
as the acting manager.
:39:12
Whatever the case,
his boss is close to retirement
:39:14
and it's a mere formality
:39:18
before Georg is made department head.
:39:20
So you have every reason
to be proud of your son.
:39:24
Alex is also in good shape now.
:39:26
This summer, he took a cruise
in Scandinavia,
:39:29
and it did him a lot of good.
:39:31
He asks me to give you his best.
:39:34
Tonight, Mr. Breitenfels,
:39:36
Georg's executive director,
is coming to dinner
:39:39
in reciprocity for
the dinner party
:39:41
he gave us a couple of weeks ago,
where Georg's new role
:39:44
was more or less made official.
:39:49
They say he's a gourmet.
:39:52
So I'll have to do my culinary best
to impress him.
:39:56
To which end, mother,
:39:58
your recipe for stuffed duck
will be vital.
:39:59
Please wish me luck...
