At the end of every workday, I turn to the colleague that sits next to me and say:
Another day. Another dollar.
Literally.
And then I laugh out loud at my own joke.
She smiles. Or ignores me. She has grown tired of this joke by now.
The moral of this story is that I need more and better idioms to weave into my language. I need to be able to throw "It's like inviting a dog into a meat truck" or "Even a broken clock is right twice a day" into a casual conversation with my boss.
And that is what I am focusing all my attention on right now. That, and leftover Thai food.
Aussie favorites (or "favourites"):
ReplyDelete-That doesn't give me enough time to s$&@ in a sock (when given a last minute project)
-Let's make sure we're kicking toward the same goal (when doing group work)
-I'm gonna hand pass that one to you (complete with Aussie rules footy gesture. Used for dumping work on someone else)
:)
You should remember the project of idioms we did in Juicy's class...and then got to draw them out. That was a fun day...
