The 사무실
Transcripts from a “frustrating-when-it’s-happening”, but “funny-in-retrospect” foreigner-infused Korean workplace.
This introduces another 사무실 team member…Herbert.
Herbert : Rolanda, do you have a nickname?
Rolanda : Umm…not really. Or none that I feel comfortable telling you!
Herbert : Really? I think all Westerners have nickname.
Rolanda : Yea, a lot of them do. Do you have a nickname?
Herbert : Fucker-face.
Rolanda : WHAT???
Herbert : My friends call me fucker-face because they don’t know what I’m thinking.
Rolanda : Oh…like poker-face. Got it. You know, sometimes Americans add -dogg to the end of someone’s name to make a nickname.
Herbert : Ha ha ha! Herbert-dogg! Rolanda-dogg! Gaston-pigg!
Rolanda : Hah…Yea kinda like that.
Bob…this was one of the times that I actually did laugh when it happened. (And after!)
Haha! I laughed …
