Work, TV Shows

WORK
Ok first a few topics related to work.... These are things you only learn when working in a global company, so pay attention.

1. Sagomario -- does anyone know what this means? No.... well, it means 'chart'. Just your basic chart. So when someone starts talking about how they need a sagomario and you get really confused, don't worry. all they want is a chart.
2. English - ENGLISH is the official language of the company. So why people decide to switch everything up in email chains and begin typing in Romanian or Portugese or whatever it is, i'm not really sure, becuase that means the simple American like me gets lots in translation and now has no idea what's going on with a project. So i then have to go downstairs and ask the other simple american what is going on and surprisingly, he doesn't know either.
3. Smoking -- most everything you need to know can be found outside in the smoking area. As a matter of fact, there are so many smokers, they actually had to move the smoking area farther away in the parking lot because the smells were so bad other people complained.

TV Shows
Alright, something interesting! I'm just not going to go there about the bachelorette, but yes, I shamefully watch it.

The Next Food Network Star -- ok, love this show! and love Melissa, i hope she wins! She's from Texas ya'll! anyways, Jamika and Michael need to go. STAT. Debbie's alright, but did she mention she's Korean? She says this literally every time she cooks.

Clean House -- Wow, how come i didn't know about this show until now? This show is definitely an A++ in my book. First, people with the most disgusting homes I have ever seen, and major hoarding problems (which obviously stem from much bigger issues), call in the crew from CLEAN HOUSE to come in, clean up and throw away all their crap and then redo their rooms. The crew consists of 3 funny white people (the decorator is obviously a gay guy bc we all know they decorate way better than any of us normal folk) and the host is a black girl named Nissi, which I just found out she used to be on Reno 911. Ok, so the show was already great, and then, the other day, one of the hoarders threw a fit and stormed out, and Nissi told her to get her ungrateful a** back in the house and apologize. and after that, i'm officially a fan of Nissi Nash and the whole Clean House program. TALK ABOUT TOUGH LOVE! i love it... i can watch episode after episode after episode after episode.... i'm obsessed.

Whale Wars -- alright, has anyone else been dooped into watching this program? get out now! what a waste... here's a recap
so the premis of the show is that these animal rights freaks voluntarily chase down (and attack) Japanese whaling ships in the Arctic ocean to save whales. Now everyone knows i'm an animal freak, so i saw one commercial and was hooked. SAVE THE WHALES! FREE WILLY!
Episode one -- The Steve Irwin (the good guys) catches up to the Nishi Maru (bad guys) ship and is planning an attack.... so a whole hour goes by of the intensity of them catching up, and then the captain read the radar wrong and realizes they blew 3 miles past the Nishi Maru and has to turn around..... This leads us into episode 2.
(keep in mind at this point, i'm like i can't wait until episode 2)
Episode 2 - well naturally, in the Arctic everthing freezes, so the Steve Irwin, while turning around to catch up with the bad guys gets stuck in ice... and they choose some whipping boy to go sit in the bottom of the boat and make sure the ice doesn't crack the hull. Not even the camera crew would stay with this guy... And that takes us into episode 3.
i was starting to get a little peeved at this point, but the commercials still looked good, so I thought i would try one more episode...
Episode 3 -- ok, so the steve irwin makes it out of the ice... (by a hair) and begins chasing down the bad guys ship once again... but the nishi maru is trying to outrun them... so the steve irwin drops its dingy into the water and sends a crew on an inflatable boat to go throw stink bombs on the ship. (this is a good plan bc the stink bombs ruin whale meat, so the bad guy ship would have to go back to japan). so while in the dingy, one girl breaks her jaw (dont' ask me how) so they have to turn around... (that took up about 5 minutes) It's decided the steve irwin is fast boat though and can still catch up with with Nishi Maru, so they start forging ahead... closer and closer and closer... now they're within a mile, now they're within striking distance (at this point there's like 4 minutes left of the episode).... and then?! what happens?! they run out of gas and have to turn back around to go back to Australia!!!!! are you kidding me! i completely wasted three hours of my life on this junk!
