It's tomorrow! Make sure you put those presents under your United Nations tree and leave milk and cookies for Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and General Assembly President Joseph Deiss. I only put one plate out so they better share.

Make one out of paper. Same difference. It's a dead tree.

Did I tell you guys when I got offered a job with the UN but said no? No taxes but they take money away anyways

B E C K · « **Reply #14 on:** Oct 25, 2010, 09:17:02 PM »

Is that why you didn't take it?

Fiero · « **Reply #15 on:** Oct 25, 2010, 09:26:58 PM »

That would be a rather silly reason, would it not?

No, I was just too lazy to move from Philly to Manhattan. Since I was going to get a "starter" position I wasnt going to get enough money to pay for rent in Manhattan, would have had to move to Queens, or even worse, the Bronx. Fuck no. Of course later you get paid good money, I know since I have some uncles that work there (and no, they didn't help me getting teh job since we weren't in speaking terms then). Later when I had moved to Manhattan and was speaking with them again I decided not to re-apply since I was preggers anyways

What was the job for? What would you have been doing?

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #18 on:** Oct 26, 2010, 07:39:03 PM »

Entry administrative level, so in other's words, someone's bitch. It was a bitch to apply though cause first I had to give an exam in 3 different languages and then a general knowledge exam. The first years, if you start from the beginning, suck but then it gets better. I just didnt feel like starting from the beginning.

B E C K · « **Reply #19 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 04:08:11 PM »

What would have been the third language? French? (I'm assuming two of the others were English and Spanish.)

Faye Valentine · « **Reply #20 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 07:50:57 PM »

Oui.
Want to try out? THey always offer positions online. First you have to file out your profile though, it takes like a fucking hour

B E C K · « **Reply #21 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 10:03:17 PM »

I'm not fluent in anything other than English. Boo hoo.

Fiero · « **Reply #22 on:** Oct 27, 2010, 10:23:37 PM »

You don't speak Spanish? But you live in San Antonio! (right?) Your city's name is in Spanish!

Rodent of Unusual Size · « **Reply #23 on:** Oct 28, 2010, 12:45:25 AM »

I took French in high school. Not one of my smarter moves. I'd have been better off going to the Choctaw school and learning Chata than French.

Yup, those are the principle foreign languages of my area: Chata and Spanish. Occasionally we get people who speak Cajun, but they respond well to semaphore.

And this obligates me to speak Spanish WHY? Just saying. I mean, I live in the same country you do. Why don't YOU speak Spanish?

I thought you were German.

Sprechen sie deutsch, fraulein?

Yeah, weren't you born a Jerry! Congrats on finally paying off your WW1 reparations. Now let's get started on WW2.

wtf is chata? sounds like some tolkien-esque made up language

If you look at the context, it is pretty easy to guess that it is what the Choctaw speak.

I thought they just quacked until a friendly bilingual duck waddled on by to translate.
