Like a sailor
Translation is a daily challenge in my Netherlandian life. Fun quirks help laugh me off the lack of englishese though, such as this website which is written in Dutch. But wait, there's a flag in the upper right corner. Usually websites have this feature to allow users to quickly identify their home country's flag, click it, and load the page in their home country's language. However, the ad wizards behind cheaptronics firmly concluded that only a Dutch flag is necessary- which, as you can guess, reloads the page in Dutch. Because cheaptronics.nl/N_frame.fuckfaces.html understands how I love to make web pages re-load without getting any additional value out of it. I hope they're hiring. I could use a couple years of on-site fucking moron training.

I will SO hire you... I sat in my office and listened as two morons actually FOUGHT over how to properly operate the new copier. They far exceeded the time allotted for them to be considered even intellectually average.
And I swear on all things crispy, the other office moron answered the phone "DDooh god." And then hung up.
