Germans r nailed... now French r next

I work in a company which develops n tests softwares used in the mechanical engg. industry. But, the language we work on is not English but we deal with German, French, Italian, Japanese, Polish n many such other lang. I have no idea whether those ppl really use these softwares… but still we get paid so they must be.

After a gruelling 3 week release testing phase my team finally released the German language version for the software we are working on. Along with us, other teams working on different softwares too released their products. So, our group (now ‘growing smaller’ as days pass coz of ppl leaving for other bigger companies) decided to go out to eat after work. Now, the client offices are based in Singapore, Switzerland and US. The client contact mails us “Thnx for ur hard work and co-operation .. blah blah.. Now I will go home and have a big pizza n some beer today. U too enjoy urselves!”

Now did he ever mention us to do the same? But still some of us decided tht we will also have pizza n tht too at the busiest outlet of Pizza Hut. No beer for us… we r still innocent kids u see. Others (including me) were reluctant coz we were already hungry n the thought itself of waiting for a table n then for the pizza was not music to ears n stomach. Yet, we succumbed to the pressure n headed for the pizzeria. Luckily we got a table soon but the pizza arrived very very late. How come if the home delivery guy does not come in 30 minutes then we get the pizza free but here waiting for 1 hour yields nothing? The pizza wasn’t gud either. Actually, being a veggie I m left with no variety to choose from, so now it tastes the same everytime. I think I make better pizza back at home than wht we ate tht day. Anyways, time well spent with frnds over anything is always nice.

Now after releasing German we didn’t opt for Sauerkraut, but went for Italian pizza we might go for Japanese Sekihan when we are out with the upcoming French version :D

This is a pic of my whiteboard. Wht u can see here below the English name, is my name written in Japanese. This was written when I was working on a Japanese lang project. I couldn’t write it properly due to the curves so the language expert we have here wrote it for me. It is weird tht the Japs don’t have a ‘p’ ending so this reads as ‘Sudeepu’ n not Sudeep. Now the weirder (n smarter) thing is tht this is infact a combination of my real name n my pet name**. Ain’t the Japs a smart bunch of ppl?

If u want to translate urs’ go to the last section in the right sidebar… let me know if it works coz I had to edit a lot to put it in. The lady in the pic got edited too… he he

**For the innocent ppl… pet name means the one which folks at home call u outta love. It doesn’t mean the name of my pet
