Sprechen zie Engrish?

Ever have one of those days when you’re sure you are speaking english, yet everyone else is hearing something else?

The last hours worth (and it’s been one hellishly long hour) of callers have all had some difficulty understanding what I’m saying.

“What are you having trouble logging in to?”
[translates to]
“Ikjgskjgfskgj bcoiheb iuwgougrt htep ckjbe?”
Usually I’m met with a ‘What?’

Now I don’t stutter, I’ve been doing phones for 2 years and before that I had at least 4 years experience welcoming people to the drive thru area of a large fast food chain and taking their order, without fries or desserts. I think I can speak properly. I think it’s just the gumby’s who are plaguing my phone line this morning.


In other news I have fabric for my dress, hoorah! The little woman (Mum) and I have decided to go the making of a new one approach and we’ve managed to compile 3 patterns to come up with one dress that should look purty darn nifty if I do say so myself. Although, $200 a metre for some hand stitched rose type pattern on some gauzy sort of material was a bit exorbitant, but it looks so gawd damn good! So satin, silk and hand stitched gauzy fabric aside I’m $580 poorer, but a notch closer to wicked, kick butt looking wedding dress, Yeah!
