Over in the tea room, M. (yes, the idiot ex-pseudo-boss) and Mr J. (an unpleasant-thinking-he's-pleasant guy in charge of our quality management system) are discussing medieval market events. Apparently they enjoy visiting the same.

Remind me NEVER to go to a medieval market in the Ruhr area again.

Strike that. Mr. J. just mentioned Schloss Burg (the castle close to where I live). Remind me never to go there again, either.

... oh Gods, as if that weren't bad enough, now M. is talking about the Japanese and their culture. Whenever he became interested in THAT I don't know, but he seems to deem himself quite the expert. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH DESK HERE TO HEADDESK APPROPRIATELY. (And this is an office building.)

AUGH.

Also I crave tea but I am not going in there while they're talking. SHUT UP AND GO HOME, WHAT ARE YOU STILL DOING HERE ANYWAY?!

Schloss Burg? Wouldn't that translate to something like "Castle Castle?" Or maybe "Castle Keep"?

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Sorry, but, lol! He can't be that bad. *snugs* Also, that quoted part should really be metaquoted, or maybe am just sleep-deprived and laughing about the oddest things.

Normally it would, but in this case it got its name from the town around it - the town of Burg - so you should translate it "Burg Castle".

He IS. He IS. Just believe me, he IS. Remember Mr Collins from Pride and Prejudice? Yeah, that's pretty much him. Only worse, because real and I have to deal with him on a regular basis. >.<

>.< I'm so sorry.

At least nobody wants you to marry him?
