where does the weekend go?
Just as in real life I am hard to get in touch with. Since starting work, I often find myself on Friday wondering what happened to Tuesday, Wednesday and the other days. For me this is good thing, I think, because it means I am not bored. So in recent news, we had a quiet Christmas or December 25 and discovered that assembling a cabinet with drawers and coasters is much more difficult than a desk. I have to laugh because I could be making the drawings in the assembly instructions.
I noticed that directions written by Americans or specifically geared for Americans are wordy. The directions for the cabinet from IKEA like the user manual written for a Chinese audience we use at work contains only pictures. What do you think? Do we Americans need more things spelled out?
