Talking on the phone in a foreign language. Oh what fun. I did do some of that in my last job! Right now, "talking on the phone in a foreign language" seems to mostly mean saying "No somos Quest. Somos Earth Guild. El numero de telefono para Quest es blah blah blah." Repeatedly. On the phone. On the same call.

Посмотрите на картинки. Вот как русские разговаривают по телефону.
Answering the phone. Алло! Слушаю! Да!
Asking for the person you want. Здравствуйте! Будьте добры Нину! Добрый день! Вадима можно? Алло, Дима?
Possible responses. Её нет. Что передать? Я вас слушаю. Сейчас позову!
Ending a conversation. Спасибо большое. Извините за беспокойство. До свидания.
Possible responses. Пожалуйста! Ничего! Пока. Давай.

Как вы думаете, что говорит эти люди?
А. Слушаю! Алло!
Б. Извините за беспокойство. Ничего!
В. Добрый день! Антона можно
Г. Алло!
Д. Будьте добры Нину, пожалуйста. Я вас слушаю.
Е. … I have no idea what this one is because the response is Спасибо so I'm just going to guess… um. Спасибо большое?


Hey, I even managed to get to bed early last night and make my bento and everything. Go me. Did not get as much writing done as I wanted to, which is going to result in cranky me since I've got a fair bit of incoming today. (God I love that widget.) But other than that, this isn't going too badly.

Still haven't figured out what I'm doing about Bele Chere. On the one hand, the money would be really nice. On the other hand, the time to write and rest would also be really nice. Ugh, decisions.

... Okay, that's it. Cheeseburger underwear. And now I go.
