'Tis time! I work for the Government of Canada, and I happened to mention to my supervisor today that I would be interested in upgrading/testing my French...
5 minutes later, I'm asked "How would you like to handle this agreement?" My co-worker says, "Hey, isn't that one in French?!?"
Gulp.
Okay, I'll be honest. I don't mind, really, because I need extrinsic motivation to learn a language.
Like, being dumped headfirst into a situation where I need it. Kindergarten at a French Catholic school. High school in Brazil.
A French agreement at work.
Just don't forget to test me for my bilingual pay increase -- soon!

My Book
You're The Hobbit!
by J.R.R. Tolkien
All you wanted was a nice cup of tea when some haggard crazy old man
came into your life and told you it was time to do something with yourself. Now you're
all conflicted about whether to stick with your stay-at-home lifestyle or follow this
crazy person into the wild. While you're very short and a little furry, you seem to be
surrounded by an even greater quantity of short folks lately. Try not to lose your ring,
but keep its value in perspective!
Take the Book Quiz
at the Blue Pyramid.
Via Casa Az, who ripped it from Archie's Archive, who got it from...ah, you know how it goes!
