"How good is your English?"

One of the team leaders asked me that today. He wanted to know, because I was tasked with applying shipping labels to boxes, and drive them out to the shipping department. I told him, that it was pretty good, since I used to live in Scotland for 2 and a half years.

"Ah, then you will not have a problem at all", was his response.

These past few days and weeks have flown by. It seems only yesterday that it was Monday, which is pretty weird. Time really does fly when you work full time. Speaking of working full time.. I had my last day at the warehouse today. The temp agency doesn't have anything for me at the moment, so it's time to search for a regular job. I don't know where to start looking yet, but I will begin the search on Monday.

Now, being that this was my last day, there are some people I will miss from the warehouse. A, is of course one of them. I have wanted to connect with her on Facebook for a while, so once I told her, that today was my last day, I acted fast and said "Can I add you on Facebook?" "Of course, look for this name here". She was off two hours before me, so when I was on my last break, she came and gave me the biggest hug ever. I am not putting anything into that. It's just a hug between friends, and that's it.

So now I am free to do some more tv work, if I so desire. I am also gonna do a TON of laundry, tidy up the place and wipe off dust from the surfaces. I'll give this place a thorough clean.

Tomorrow evening is Star Wars time, with K. We're watching it in IMAX, since a Star Wars movie HAS to be seen in IMAX! It's gonna be amazing to see a brand new Star Wars in the cinema. It's gonna be a late showing, around 9.30 pm, but it'll be worth it! I know she's looking forward to seeing the movie, so we will both have a great time, I think.

Your English is, indeed, pretty good, philipsen, but I am very surprised to hear that that is the result of living in Scotland. Apart from Yorkshire, Scotland is probably one of the worst places in Britain to learn good English.
Harbal - I have been speaking English since I was seven years old, so for about 28 years, give or take. My English was already perfect prior to my Scottish adventure, but I said it to underline the fact, that my English was indeed fantastic :)
Your English is better than that of a lot of the native speakers of it on this site, philipsen. thumbs up
Ha! My mom was born in Yorkshire. Her English was near perfect, good school I guess. Of course she had the thick accent. I remember being in grade school and the kids would hear her speak and ask me " Why don't you have an accent?" I just shook my head doh
Give us a review on the movie. I've heard people either love it or hate it.
I wish I could get laid off lol, been working with 2 days off a month for past 3 years but when I ask for extra days for my yearly "cruise trip" they respect.
