Beating Myself with Japanese

Mar 26, 2007 17:18

Spending my day translating work-related material into Japanese.

( Some of the fun stuff I've dealt with today )

I am so proud of myself for knowing over half of those without having to look at the meanings. And the ones I didn't know, the vast majority I will have use ever for, god willing. XD

You've definitely been studying. Me? I just talk, so my written Japanese is lacking. So when it comes translation time, I gotta stumble through. Some of these I've known, but just don't ever write down, so I wanted to write 'em down again in order to jar my brain a bit.

And, unfortunately for me, my job does entail using words like this. It's all work-related :(

Until 9月 that is. Put in my notice on Saturday. I be headin' the Engrish teacher route as of Fall.

Ahh, thou art finally leaving the Facility of Doom?

Oui, monsieur.

However, there's a LOT of things the boss wants done. In fact, we, went out to dinner last night and he handed me off more material that needs to be Engrishified (new word? I dub thee MINE!).

So if you're interested, I might have need of ya. Poke your head in from time to time. Not sure how it'll pan out.

I don't know how the boss is going to survive without you working there. He'll have to rely on the rest of the bozos to get stuff done.

I'm always game; just let me know if you need me.

There's no one else here that knows how to use much of anything other than Excel (one guy can throw a PowerPoint presentation together, tho'). So he'll have to outsource it all.

I'll still be local, so I might be gettin' phone calls to do this stuff during my free time ;)

adamsmasher March 28 2007, 01:31:14 UTC

Yea, methinks he will be calling you for all the stuff like that.

Bonus freelance work without having to deal with the fools at the facility. :P

friedtoast March 28 2007, 01:33:38 UTC

Affirmative, suh!

(I will miss the twice-yearly bonus, tho'... that's a dent outta my wallet :( )

Ooph.. yea that would be a perk that would be sorely missed.

Hey check this out:

That would be an interesting way to show the factory processes in a virtual tour.
