[QUOTE="Star*, post: 277428, member: 4964"] WEll it wouldn't have been so bad but she stretched it out like ENGGGGGGGggggggggggggggggggggggglish. I have days where I'm not culturally tolerant and would just love to be the only Martian in the office - but it rarely happens. :alien: I get her frustration - we've had a huge, HUGE influx of illegals here due to laws being enforced in the upper states - it happened pretty quick - (less than 4 weeks) and it's hard to adjust to. I try to stay open minded about things but there are a lot of culturally based tolerances we're expected to just deal with and most people don't want to. I don't care - I hope in my life I'm never so vein as to think I own ANYTHING more than what I came into the world with. But yeah - her comments were out of line. ML - OMG Amarillo by morning - I snorted coffee - thanks.....:raspberry-tounge: Margurite - I guess I never considered that Aussies would have to know Asian or Tai or anything else - but I've met some Aussies with such thick accents that I had to say excuse me several times. :winking: [/QUOTE]
