You'd think someone with a Harvard degree and an MBA from Stanford would have better handwriting...
I can write better with a pen stuck between my toes.

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

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

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

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? 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.

Doesn't anybody teach them any manners?!!?  |
I don't think ALL Americans lack manners. But I do think they live in a "Me" generation, like all North Americans. _________________

In my new job, I�Lll be overseeing projects for both French and British stakeholders. From past experience, I know that�Lll suck! Their way of working so soo fundamentally different. Thank god the British are super polite and the French improved a lot working in international teams.
