wahhh.. our boss is planning to enroll me for Six Sigma Greenbelt training which is i don't like.. :sweat:

I'M DONE MY COURSE! :woot: :yippee: :victory:

I can finally get back to watching some dramas without long pauses in between.

O wait.

I still have to design two courses before september. :puppydog: This is the worst summer vaca EVAH!

Gehh, our VP left a note on my desk last night asking me to take care of something and it's practically indecipherable: his handwriting is terrible...

You'd think someone with a Harvard degree and an MBA from Stanford would have better handwriting... :shakehead:

I can write better with a pen stuck between my toes.


EDIT: I returned the note to him with the words "PLEASE WRITE IN ENGLISH" on it... :hehe:

The last place I worked at was like that. I used to get faxes with the boss' indecipherable scrawl on it..... then i'd have to wait until he got back from wherever he went to find out :P

Ugh, this naggy, whiny lady came in today. Not to mention, she had a ton of dandruff in her hair and I had to adjust her glasses. I was grossed out and annoyed at the same time. :grumble:

Ugh... disgusting... haven't those people heard of anti-dandruff shampoo? :bleh:

Or washing her damn hair would've been a good idea. It was oily too. :bleh:

Awww that's mean. Mebbe she had a scalp condition.

Nah, a simple "Bakatari...!" would have been sufficient.

I didn't know if I should post this here on in the "What things bother you" thread. I just got done working with a customer from the U.K., she lives in San Francisco now, she was SOOO nice and polite!!! :applaud: What's wrong with these %#@* Americans???? Doesn't anybody teach them any manners?!!? :beaten:

Working in the office where the temperature is 79F is not fun at all. No windows to be open, only the door, and I'm roasting and feeling nauseated because of this heat. I wish those people next door would make it cooler, but their masseuse likes it warm. :angry:

Even if she did have a scalp problem, it didn't seem like she washed her hair because it was very oily. And I wouldn't have been irritated if that lady was actually nice.

But didn't you say that she was from the UK at one point, so who's to say that her bad manners came from America? :confused: With that said, I can see how people can find some Americans rude at times. :(

That was my point cori, she was unbeliveably nice and polite, and I'm guessing that came from the fact that she's from the UK. [/list:u]

I don't think ALL Americans lack manners. :P But I do think they live in a "Me" generation, like all North Americans.

I guess the "Me" decade from 20 years ago hasn't ended yet...

They don't call us the Ugly Americans for nothing.... :beaten: :sweat:
