What The Public Wants
I realize that I've been bashing Americans quite a lot lately. I really shouldn't though. I'm a guest in their country (the United States), working for an American company (Microsoft), and making American money (the Greenback). Maybe I should just slow down a little, and give a little respect to the country who, on the whole, has been treating me so well.
Then I checked my page hits for this week. Highest number of viewers yet. So, I guess I'm doing something right. If any of you viewers are truly offended, email me and I promise I'll stop. Until then, I'm giving the public what it wants:
I had a meeting with my school recruiter yesterday about future opportunities with Microsoft. She said something along the lines of "We hire a lot of Canadians from Canadia". At least she immediately realized her mistake and corrected herself. If I didn't correct my office mate, she would still be thinking that July 1st is "Canadian Day".
