Getting yelled at by your boss/ teacher is always a good thing to experience for the first time over and over again.

heee... I forget things all the time ; ), it's nice though, you can experience 'new' things over and over again  

Unfortunately for me, sometimes some things tend to keep lingering around in my memory in order to, when I see/hear/... it again, react by letting me know I've seen/heard/... that before.

Getting yelled at by your boss/ teacher is always a good thing to experience for the first time over and over again.

A boss/teacher doesn't need to yell to show his/her authority over you. And trust me, I know from experience.

I mean getting yelled at for forgetting something, like being on time.

[B'rrr]

never had my boss or teacher yelled at me, my parents have yelled but since i just didn't pay any attention to them at that time they stopped doing it a long time ago ; )

[Mary Jane]

Maybe they did but you don't remember.

I mean getting yelled at for forgetting something, like being on time.

If you look at the company policy, I'm hardly ever on time, but my boss doesn't yell at me for that, after all, I am present/work for the prescribed period, meaning I stay a little longer in the evening. However, when I have a meeting  starting at a time sooner than when I normally arrive, I change that day's schedule accordingly, so I still arrive on time (barring accidents ofcourse). And besides, if it's really important, I keep a written record about it on my work-laptop's Outlook client, with an alarm attached to it.

Sounds like you've got everything covered.

Sounds like you've got everything covered.

A necessity, attached to the position I'm in, I'm afraid.

[Mary Jane]

What do you do?

What do you do?

Bookkeeping, sometimes also known as accounting, but overhere that's a different profession. I'm also part of the leadership of the financial department.

[Mary Jane]

Cool.  I shall call you MR. CC from now on.

Cool.  I shall call you MR. CC from now on.

No need for that. The only one at work who calls me by my last name only, preceded by 'Mister' is the CEO of the company. And ofcourse, sometimes in letters addressed to me, but other than that, I'm on a first name base (?) with everyone.

[Mary Jane]

I think its first name basis, but I'm not sure.

I think its first name basis, but I'm not sure.

When I look at the word 'basis' I see a Dutch/Flemish word, so I translate it to something more English sounding, hence the 'base'.

[B'rrr]

but you pronounce it different  

[copycat]

but you pronounce it different  

I wasn't talking about pronounciation, and even there the only difference I hear is at the end, because the Dutch/Flemish-looking word's longer.

[B'rrr]

what do you mean you hear it in the end?

the english word begins with the sound 'bee' while the dutch word begins with the sound 'baa'

EDIT:

* B'rrr  thinks he's getting lost  

[copycat]

what do you mean you hear it in the end?

I mean when I both pronounce them in English, they both begin with 'bay'.

[B'rrr]
