Busy
Posted on February 20th, 2007 by Todd W
I’m going to be busy the next two days, participating in an audit from a Russian regulatory body. The audit language is in Russian, so it have been interesting to listen to the translators going back and forth. Maybe some posting later.

I’ll spell it out phonetically.
Ya Knee Pahn-ni-my-you Pa-Rooskee
I don’t understand Russian.
Ya Kachoo Voodka
I want vodka.
That’s probably all you need to get through the audit.
Or get him fired…..
Well, the audit ended a day early. I think they wanted to get to the important part of coming over here from Moscow – the shopping.
“Vhere are your procuryement fahcilities? Vhen can ve veesit theym?”
Overall, a fun experience. Probably the easiest audit I’ve ever went through. They weren’t at all demanding or probing. I noticed she never took a single note throughout the whole thing. Must be some sort of hold-over from when the KGB could find something suspect in anything you wrote down. Seriously, who want’s to be dissapeared?
And one more thing – Yeah, John Malkovich had the worst Russian accent I’ve ever heard…now that I’ve spent a couple days listening to Russian.
Update – Hmm…John Malkovich is a hotlink, but it doesn’t show up that way. Something I need to fix. Clicking it would be worth your time.
