While still trying to recover from the kick to the gut of this morning, my supervisor handed me a translation assignment.

Three sentences, thanking the Dutch office for translating a number of newspaper articles, which were to have been my entire translation workload for the past 2 1/2 months, into Japanese for me.

Seriously, does someone think this shit is funny? What the hell is wrong with these people?


That will be all.

What? Oh, for fuck's sake, can we all put in some money and buy the department a brain? Even a grubby brain from Frankenstein's laboratory floor would suffice.

As you could probably tell from my comment on your other post....I hate your job for you!! I don't often get so pissed like that but it's just CRAZY how they dick you around. I wish wish wish you had more recourse.... *sigh*

Now you must send me an address I can ship Christmas cookies to.

wait wait wait... so they translated it from Dutch to Japanese, for you to translate into English?

Other than them being mean (I can figure that one out), I am sooooo confused by the work-/job-related people you interact with over there.

That is the dumbest-fuck thing ever!!! So these people work with the equivalent of DMV job intelligence? 'Cause I totally don't get the zombie-brain mechanisms that are at work here.
