From What I've Read!
It is ok to feel irrationally nervous when you have to go round the room and say your name and where you're form..
It is always difficult to have the perfect reputation at work... We can be crazy or boring, lazy or a suck-up, but we'll never conquer the middle ground...

(all, bored): "Hi Marvin."
LoL at (all, bored): "Hi Marvin." :)
ReplyDeleteI found it the best way to know each other. At the beginning of every semester I tell my students where I am from and make fun of my accent and ask them to tell the class their names and where they came from. I don't find it intimidating. Maybe in the work environment it is different.
ReplyDeleteFor me I like to know at least the names, and if it's a work meeting I like to know the jobs too BUT if the "where are u from?" means the Original country this is some thing will totally destroy my mood :S
ReplyDeleteHalla2 about the reputation , in my work even u r an easy girl " sahleh" or " shayfeh 7alha"
For me they usually go with the 2nd eputation :$

ReplyDeleteلإني كل مرّة بحكي المسمى الوظيفي
بلاقي كل الوجوه مسنترة عليّه

فا من جديد صرت أختصر
وأقول مخرج ومصور
