Exec: :laugh: Gotcha.

Reminds me of one of my daily status reports.

"Today's experience with the vendor's development team can only properly be defined with a term that begins with 'cluster'."

Manager thought it was hilarious.

Our lead support guy put together a walkthrough of how the system processes transactions and sent it to all of us who are fairly new. Some of the steps were:
move your sh*t from tbl1 to tbl2
verify your sh*t
finalize your sh*t or rollback your sh*t

You have to realise: You are joining THEIR work environment. If swearing occasionally is part of their local culture, then you have no right to cause trouble. They took you into their company, not the other way around. If you don't like it, then leave that job. It's as simple at that.

I'm a girl just out of school, 30ish people corporate subsidiary environment, all male, but nobody is like him. We have good personal relationship, but when he says F-word, I still feel embarrassed, is that me or him? What do I do?

you poor delicate flower.:p maybe you should stay at home in the kitchen where you'll be protected from such things.
