Heidi Meister
/Pause In the Park
It was just one of those lunchtime strolls for HEIDI MEISTER, and after a morning devoted to singeing the beards off her boss's competitors, as well as to re-arranging the flowers on his desk, Heidi found the peace and tranquillity of the Berlin Park delightfully soothing. Heidi is not the sort of secretary who comes all over frenzied when business progress seems entirely indivisible from turmoil, panic and the crash of phones being hurled about.
"If you must thunder about your executive suite," she said very coolly to her boss the other day, "the removal of your boots would make it quieter for the rest of us.
Completely intimidated, her boss meekly removed his boots. He'd been on a weekend climbing holiday in Bavaria and hadn't had time to go home for his shoes. The holes in his socks made him blush. The futility of it all was too much for Heidi so she went out into the park to get herself re-orientated. it made a nice lunchtime break for the passing photographer as well.
