Stenglish

I have just completed my 165th on the road. I am officially now holding on to the rim of the toilet bowl to avoid being flushed during the home stretch. Vacation is just a few blessed weeks away, I just need to hang on just a little bit more and I can make it into a new year.

I have a new co-worker! If my group was previously dysfunctional, now it’s much more so. I now work with:

1-Japanese
1-Chinese
1-British
1-Vietnamese
1-Amerian

That leaves us trying to communicate with each other while mixing, Jenglish, Chinglish, Vienglish, Benglish and Stenglish.

It’s generally more of a game of trying to figure out what someone means than exactly what they’re saying.
