Posted August 2, 200817 yr My husband,s company he works for has offices all around the world and for the last week they have had IT people from the other offices here in Australia for meetings. Tonight i will be having them at my place for dinner, there will be 4 Americans, a Canadian and one from England. My inlaws are also coming for dinner as well so it is going to be a interesting night. I am going to cheat and buy chinese takeaway for tea and they have been at the Hunter Valley winetasting for the day so there will be plenty of new wine being sample as well tonight. My kids are saying it is going to be interesting for them listening to all the different accents and hoping they understand them.
August 2, 200817 yr It will be a blast - My hubby works with the English, Canadian and American all the time. We have had to entertain them on occasion too and they are lovely people - I hope you have a great night.
August 2, 200817 yr Sounds like fun to me I love poking fun at other accents and hearing the things they poke back with
August 2, 200817 yr The company me and hubby work in is also international and there all people from everywhere - it's fun (and it's also IT ) Hope everything goes well and you have a nice evening
August 2, 200817 yr The company me and hubby work in is also international and there all people from everywhere - it's fun (and it's also IT ) Hope everything goes well and you have a nice evening I forgot to mention that my hubby is in IT as well That's the wonderful thing about IT as it makes the world a smaller place
August 2, 200817 yr how fun, where are the American's from? You know we all have different accents depending on where in the U.S. we live
August 2, 200817 yr Sounds like fun. I hope you were able to relax and enjoy yourself. I can wait for details tomorrow!
August 2, 200817 yr Author The Americans were all from Colorado, one of the Americans took a liking to Roxy and he had her on his shoulder and she was giving him kisses. I had to check his shoulder before he left just to make sure he did not pinch her. My mother in law has a habit of always saying the wrong thing so she made a comment to the Canadian about being the 51st state, he was a really nice guy so he did not get upset which was good. It is interesting that it is people in IT that meet together internationally. I had a fabulous night and even manage to get my 2 youngest into bed at their normal time. Both their bedrooms come of the dining room so they went to sleep even with 10 adults talking in the room next to them.
