Ok so while its cool having a coworker who is french, speaks spanish and italian and is all in all just worldly it also brings about certain cultural mishaps. like the fact that this broad cannot conjugate a verb in english or types emails in that sparse euro style. having a carefree euro sensibility is cool in all areas EXCEPT work. She fucks something up its simply a shrug and a smile like "im french, fuck you ugly americans gonna do about it?" I always thought that NY'ers were by far the most arrogant people around, well ny'ers and minorities with a lil piece of money, but noooooo. They are far out arroganted(izthattaword?) by foreigners who have "made it" in this place we call home. Not only do I have the french broad with all her parisian glory going down, more on this later, but I am also in daily contact with a russian dude who thinks, because we work for an auto insurance company, and he is russian, he knows ALL ABOUT every russian crew in the nation, neigh the world, who is running insurance scams. Funny thing is, that info isnt even applicable to ANY of our jobs. All we want is MORE business. Hmm now that I think about it, i might get good old Lev to send me a list of all his mob connections so i can send a direct mail piece directly to them.
Dear secret insurance fraudski,
turned down because of your heinous insurance acts at other companies? Well come on, we will insure your cheating ass.
ok but the other thing about the russian cat is this. He aint FB or however russians get into this country. he is a generation removed, but he still has an ACCENT. the hell is he doing with a russian accent he aint never even seen hide nor hair of the kremlin. come on man. thats like these cats from albany claiming NY cause they momma grew up in ny. but here is the thing. Not only does he have this yakhoff smirnoff thing going, but he also is using that shit to play clueless to cultural snafus in this country. He is basically like dude on seinfeld who converted to judaism so that he could make jewish jokes with impunity. Thing is, the russian (who am i carrie?) aint convert he just be like "whoops what does this nigga mean? I did not know dis was such a problem, more vodka?"
oh man i kid you not, the french broad just got off the phone and did a kiss sound and said ciao. Has she no shame? Just bathing us in the hotness of her language. I tell you what though, I wouldnt go to france and try and get a job and speak broke up ass french. Fugg no, I would go there and look at the potential empoyers like sea monkeys if they didnt speak english.
the slavery thing was bad and all, but knowing you can go anywhere in the world and chances are SOMEONE will speak your language is pretty neat. Think Bantus or Huntas can say that? not in the least.
