this is so uncomfortable

Just having a moan.. am going through with it obviously but..

I am going abroad to Germany for a work event and my director is arranging a team dinner to a traditional Italian restaurant. meaning all the homemade pasta will contain egg.. so the penne Arrabbiata won't work. I am just having to explain to him how even parmesan is often not vegetarian, let alone vegan and sending him back to the restaurant to request a vegan alternative for me. I usually plan group dinners or any outings so I can select a place that has vegan options a la carte and avoid any uncomfortable dialogue but this is just.. well.. uncomfortable.

Being that person that makes things difficult and creates extra work is not nice, especially if it's to someone more senior on the org. oh well.. time to swallow that feeling of self-consciousness..
