At the office; Laos

Here’s a vacation request you don’t get everyday…one I received from one of my employees in Laos:

This is Lao culture every son must become a monk for a short period to thanks parents whom gave our life. And I will be leaving from 23 Mar – 08 Apr 2010 for 15 days.

I love how this is not really a request but a statement.  Need I say that the leave was approved.

Have you ever received a strange request for time off?
