This desi uncle type guy has recently joined my department. He has a doctorate from a reputable school and seems quite competent in what he does.
However, lately he has developed a co-worker type friendliness with me. So, now he walks into my office at least once a day and starts a very casual conversation in English-Urdu-Punjabi. He is quite funny too.
But one thing that really cracks me up is when he says the following;
‘oh yaar, in logoN (some cross-functional team members) ko Bcd baat kernay ki tameez nahee hay. Gn** apnay aap ko kya samjhtay haiN’
I mean come’on man…baat kernay ki tameez? look at the kind of vocabulary you are using.
I can’t stand people who cannot speak without using these curse words. A couple of people at my work do the same. I would have hoped my facial expressions conveyed my disgust effectively but looks like they don’t
it would make more sense to me if i knew what the chap was saying...but anyway its good to see that you have a job and are not unemployed or a drug dealer or something.
