Agreed on needing to give work a heads up if I've got to take off early next week if we're an afternoon game, or if I have to take a couple of hours off work the next morning if we're a late game. I've let my boss know that it's upcoming, but it's hard to plan meetings and things when you don't know if you'll be at work or not.
Fortunately my boss is a rabid football fan and understands how important it is to be there when your team is in the playoffs. (She's a Steelers fan, but we'll overlook that.) I can't imagine explaining this schedule craziness to a non-sports-loving boss. Yikes.
Which is my dilemma because I have a new boss this fiscal year! Former Marine! Although, I do have a NATS fan reputation around the office to uphold! I'm not sure how playoff-time off friendly he is.
