Audit Part two...

[kaitou]

Ann, you're a translator. Can you translate this from French?

.....Yes, because Japanese and French have SO much in common.

(Today is not going nearly as bad as yesterday.)

Google translate and I are more than passing acquaintances, I confess. Today's adventure - Translating reports from Northern Africa in... yes... French.

XD

I actually suggested they use Google Translate! It's a very nice program. It's not as good as WWJIC for Japanese, but it's VERY close. Nice features.

It's kinda like, "You're a foreigner! So obviously you can read this!"

"But it's in Portuguese."

"...And?"

(Glad to hear today isn't going as badly! Here's hoping that the audits are done soon.)

I really posted that far too soon. It all went steadily downhill after there. I cannot wait for this thing to be over.

I think I'm very generous with my first impressions. And I will try and see things from the other's point of view as much as possible. But once I've decided you're a self-centered, petty, bigoted, crude person, you're not likely to recover in my eyes. I can see why that company has problems. And the audit is not going to solve them because their corporate culture is toxic.

eep, sorry, didn't mean to offload like that. In a lighter note, they totally asked me to translate a Russian letter once in Japan. There really are just two languages aren't there? Yours and Foreign. XD XD
