Global business
As often happens during a normal day in my job, I communicated with people in many different countries.
This requires being somewhat adept at understanding not-so-good-English, the Queen's English, and flat-out Engrish - often in the same meeting.
Today I didn't even get my first cup of coffee before I had answered questions from Korea and India, but the top of the day was when I took a call from a gentleman in England who asked me to print stuff for him in Brazil! I did it, but first I laughed and laughed. What a funny place we live in!
I remain in awe of the ability to push a button in Central Illinois and make printers work in Japan or Brazil...
