Take Some Notes by Mantooth
May 2nd, 2007 6:30 PMHowever, once in awhile, kismet strikes and I was able to simultaneously take "team meeting" notes while fulfilling this task.
Additionally, one of our vendors did a presentation before the meeting which always translates into free food and useless, office schwag. Especially nice was the "Panic(tm) Spanish plaquard which translates among others, the phrases:
"Call your lawyer." (Llame a su abogado)
"Call your doctor." (Llame al doctor)
"I'll call an interpreter" (Llamo a un interprete)
Awesome. All of that's pretty useful to the budding Spanish-speaking conversationalist.
At any rate, for your persusal and subsequent judgement are my notes and pics of the schwag.
Enjoy the joy.

At the team meetings, we give out "kudos" to employees who have done productive things. You also get an actual "Kudos" snack bar if you get a kudo. I shit you not.

A planner, some post-its, a pen....Jesus....it's a wonder we have to buy office products at all.

This sucks. My crappy camera can't fully capture the magic of Panic(tm) Spanish. If you would like a copy - or transcript - feel free to message me.

first of all I'd like to say, kudos to Mantooth for turning me on to this damnable SF0 and then I'd like to say, is that a botched Twisted Sister logo over your writing "kudos" on your notes?
i can see the big lebowski (not jeff bridges) spurting out a few of these in proper pasadenean.
"¿parla usted ingles?"
i for one would like some more info on this panicspanish.
i often find myself panicking for tasty burritoes and though i speak the language of cervantes well for a gringo some ready-made colloquialisms to assuage my nerves would be much appreciated.
