ramblings

Guess who was in town? Poor guy, he had 3 official engagements in one day - regardless of the fact that he's 72, was jet-lagged, and had to talk the whole day! No wonder he's an international leadership guru.

In one part of his lecture, he used the expression "DUH!" to stress a point (and repeated it several times too) - I asked my co-workers if they understood the word and apparently Duh is such a non-polite word that there is no Thai equivalent to it. No wonder The Simpsons aren't well-loved here.

Yesterday's conference reminded me that sales will never be an alternative career. I was part of registration and being chirpy and helpful at 7am will never really be my thing - probably moreso because 9 out of 10 participants would talk to me in Thai and I'd give them a standard smile and refer them to the next person.
