Talk about a depressing start to the week...
Walk into the office and the first thing to drop onto my desk for translation is the press statement made by the CEO of Chantiers de l'Atlantique.

Not a nice way to start a Monday morning - having to translate the official statements regarding that little incident!

Ah, yes. I had rerad about this but didn't put two and two together.
No, not a good start to the week, I'm guessing.

Well, I would have offered one of those, but I don't think it would have helped...

Not the most fun I've ever had translating documents I must say...
That particular pleasure's reserved for when I've got to translate stuff that's going to get someone fired

Hmm, I can imagine that, as it goes. Do the Fench have an equaivalent of Schadenfruede?

Of course they do... just look at who they elect into government
Actually the funniest document I think I've ever had to translate has got to be one where some fairly senior manager was using some _very_ dodgy chatrooms to talk to some "ladies" whilst at work and didn't realise that every word he typed was saved on the server 
Hours of fun were had translating that particular text ...

Nope, just evil... didn't actually know who the bloke was - which was just as well - If I ever ran across him I'd probably fall over laughing at him

Well, yes that sort of thing is liable to make one a laughing stock.
