As much as bhamv has complained about his subordinates/coworkers using google translate, you should be able to get a job, no problem
It's easy to get January and July confused. As an easy way to remember, January has an "r" in it like "freezing", and "July" doesn't, like "hot". Now, don't go thinking of "cold" and 'warm" or you're all turned around again.I got my J months confused and came home all hyped to start watching "The Boys" on Prime.
*more like mis-read the advert*
But what if you live in Australia?It's easy to get January and July confused. As an easy way to remember, January has an "r" in it like "freezing", and "July" doesn't, like "hot". Now, don't go thinking of "cold" and 'warm" or you're all turned around again.
The same, just the other way around. Just like with everything else in upside-down-land. They have bears in the trees and owls burrowing in the ground, I think they're used to thinking sideways.But what if you live in Australia?
I think the one that interested me most was this one. Owned by members of Pink Floyd and Dire Straits? Yes, please!I saw. If I had that much I'd have bought it and more.
Cool. Now go outside in it and carry a hundred pounds of gear, set up the gear, then spend 2 hours in it with no shade while you walk/run around. Then pack the gear back up and walk it up the outside stairs to your truck.Pfft. 115 degrees. We call that "Tuesday" here.
(Literally. We're supposed to get up to that on Tuesday.)
Why would I do that? I'm not a masochistCool. Now go outside in it and carry a hundred pounds of gear, set up the gear, then spend 2 hours in it with no shade while you walk/run around. Then pack the gear back up and walk it up the outside stairs to your truck.

I'd have on my wide-brimmed shade hat, use as many hand trucks/dollys as I could, and have one of those pop-up awnings as part of my setup if I knew I was doing anything that could be considered outside. Oh, and always make sure I have water available. Big ol' honking jugs of water if necessary.Cool.

You're not?!Why would I do that? I'm not a masochist
...Not when the only hooties involved are flappy.You're not?!

I'm sure I've asked you this before, but have you talked to a doctor? Because I know this feeling all too well.I hate feeling like I'm never good enough all the time.
Is your company sure they didn't hire an expert on Pennywise instead of a tech person?Especially since IT dude borked one of the essential pieces of software. After I taught him how to run the setup.exe as an admin. I shit you not. He was all confused and said that if he used his password, wouldn’t it show up on his computer? I hovered over the file (he had remote access) and said right click, see that? Click it and type your password. It was brutal. It didn’t work because he didn’t uninstall the program properly beforehand but that’s a whole different whine.
Huh, that was probably last on my list of interpretations for that statement. Guess I'm use to it. Chinese would always say 你吃饱了吗 (Are you full?) after just about every meal, not because the implication was because I was too fat, but rather, "Have we been generous enough in our offerings as hosts?" and that's pretty much how'd I'd interpret that old lady's remark too. I mean, it depends on her tone and body language too, I suppose.At my favorite restaurant there is a new, old woman that runs the till. I think she is trying to be all homey and sweet. When I come up to the register to pay she always asks me, "Did you get enough to eat?"
Next time I'm going to answer in my "VOICE OF GOD," "What the hell am I? Too fat to ever be satisfied by your meager portions?"
In customer service she should be asking if I enjoyed the meal or if the food was tasty. Even say that she is pleased to see me. But this back handed insult is about to drive me away.
Hell, "are you full" can even be a greeting in Chinese. Sort of like asking someone "have you had lunch?" in the early afternoon.Huh, that was probably last on my list of interpretations for that statement. Guess I'm use to it.
