Veal Cheeks.......yummy
Today was the kinda day you wish you had more often. Medium paced, a little work, crap meeting, great lunch and peaceful end. The only thing you really don't need is the chink effect. The chink sits next to me. Till now, I have not blogged about the people at work in much detail. I have tried to stay away from that till today. I figured my misery often makes for decent entertainment and sometimes a good topic of conversation.
Well, I reckon in terms of language here, there are 2 extremes. Those that speak English and those that don't. While all of us are supposed to be bilingual, most of us are somewhere in between and often skewed towards one language. Of course, we don't really care about the truely bilingual, they don't make for interesting stories because they probably get on well in life.
The chances for problems to arise increase by a few hundered folds when the 2 extremes meet. In my case, it is a match made in heaven between a lighted cigarette and a swimming pool filled with petrol. Ironically, Jackie Chan's words "Do you understand the words that are coming out of my mouth" have never meant so much to me. Stay tuned for more.
Quote of the day : Women have a passion for mathematics. They divide their age in half, double the price of their clothes, and always add at least five years to the age of their best friend.
