I’ve been known by many things in the workplace: scary, snobbish, creepy, sarcastic, scary. Yet once recent term or designation got my attention for it has summed up all of that – nosebleed.
“What is this ‘nosebleed’ of which you speak?” Patrick Stewart might ask. I will tell you. A nosebleed is when one communicates in a manner of speech that is far above comprehension of the normal man. As if you were explaining complex quantum physics resulting in the listener’s head to explode. Only in this case, simply speaking full fluent English is sufficient enough to give my coworkers gushing nosebleeds.
Not that they can’t follow the words, so neatly wrapped in a handsome man voice, that are coming out of my mouth. They just feel like it’s such a chore to do so. They already spend their 9 to 5 dealing with Americans that they only wish to converse in their native tongue when getting off the phone. Instead only to find me there, fists armed with brass knuckles in the shape of 10 syllable words, relentlessly clocking them right in the nose.
A more considerate coworker would take this as a sign to perhaps change. And maybe I would have liked to meet one of these people. And maybe impress some words into his face in a quasi violent manner until I achieve a triple word score.
Blood is everywhere. And I am scrabble super champion.
No. Thats a pending blog entry. This is what everyone in the Healthtrain division call me cuz my english is, and I quote, “too much for them”.
