You've all read about the tower of Babel Well, I re-live that experience at 7AM every morning. The employees here come from all over the world. Many languages are spoken. A representative list includes Spanish, Arabic, Amharic, Nepali, Jamaican Patois, Krio, Sin hala, German, and French. Those are just the languages I've identified - there are more. They employees come in at 7AM. The time clock is just outside my door. They are a friendly group and like to greet each other enthusiastically every morning and rejoice in each other's successes or lament in each other's tribulations, BUT none of them can really understand what anyone else is saying. Either the other person is speaking another language, or, more likely, they are speaking broken English to someone who barely speaks English himself. And do you know what you do when the person you are talking to doesn't understand you? YOU SAY IT AGAIN, LOUDER. It gets real loud around my room early in the morning!
