German speaking test

[Old Hack]

Joking aside, you're an embarrassment - a cliche of Brit abroad. A fat drunk. It's not cool and it's not clever to be this unprofessional so soon after starting your first contract abroad.
Still that's why they say: the cream rises to the top and the turds to the bottom.
Except you're a floater.

Not too sure that makes sense old boy. If he's a floater, he's at the top, but a floater, is a turd, so he should be at the bottom. But he's at the top...

I worked in Munich, and had many opportunities to get out on the lash with the Germans, who, themselves believe it or not, enjoyed an ale or two on occasion. Joining in was fun, overdoing it a few times was fun too, for it was good to engage with your colleagues, so I don't see the issue, as long as you don't do it all the time.

This just looks like you're throwing out the insults, just to throw them out.

Forgive him, he knows not what he does as he's a gobshoite.

Would you do it this early in a contract? And when you claim to be skint?
The boy (he's not a man) is an arse.
It's alright having a few shandies when you know what's what, getting tulipe-faced when you don't so it affects your work (and if you have got to go to a chemist don't tell me you know what you're doing) isn't.
But its OK, Suity is New labour bred: anything goes.

Second week into a contract in Munich I was invited out with the bosses, who proceeded to take me to a hostess bar, drinking champagne. I was utterly ruined for a couple of days. There's a lot of context to be put here. Some people could get offended that you say no to joining them for a drink, for they may be doing it to help you feel part of the team.

I worked at a US company in the UK, first job from Uni, and all they seemed to do is go out on the lash all the time, mostly on the company too.

If he's out on the piss all the time, then fair comment, but it's his first time, I believe. But I can see where you are going with it.

My boss is also hanging. It was a point of humour this morning.

As a contractor, with me its very much suit and tie at the client, I'll go out for beers - as you say its part and parcel of teamwork - but I'll control myself and not get drunk. All geniality and affability but not making an arse of myself, turning up with a hangover or anything that can be construed as unprofessional.
Spot on work and delivery.
Not surprisingly my contracts tend to last years rather months, if I want them to.

With your contracting record perhaps you should be less mouthy.

[original PM]

Joking aside, blah blah.

a touch ott i think - life is for living and enjoying.

you can if you wish spend all your life not doing what you want for fear of what other people will think in the hope it will one day lead to something

but i guarantee it won't

And what, pray tell, is wrong with my contracting record?

If we could meet I would smack you right in the face.
