I work for a company headquartered in Europe (Paris). Global company, 100,000 employees, many different sites, blah blah blah.

I'm on the monthly CEO update call right now, and I gotta tell you, listening to a French guy bastardize English and trying to relay "witty" anecdotes like a ham-fisted piano player really grates on the f'ucking nerves.

That's all. Cry more, I know.

I'd probably not have a lot of luck being witty in French, either.

Fortunately I know this, and don't try.

Are you saying the French CEO should just give up?

Je suis au telephone avec la filiale americaine du PDG, et je dois vous dire, raconter des conneries en Anglais a un Americain, et essayer de le mettre a l'aise en lui rancontant des anecdotes "amusantes" pendant qu'il se tape une queue au bout de fil, ca me casse les putains de couilles.

C'est tout. Pleurnicheur, je sais.
