Umbrella

And I'm not referring to Rihanna's hit single.

I was told, or rather 'being gossiped to' that my company's Human Resource Senior Executive cannot spell 'umbrella'. It's not like it was a typo. She was caught out. During a discussion while she was typing the minutes, she paused, typed, hesitated, back-spaced, typed again, etc. You get the drift.

So proud of Nanny. She found out that Singaporeans are heavily subsidized for an English course lasting f0r 3 months (twice a week, 3 hours each class) so she signed up for it. She told me that a few PRC Nationals are in her class too. They have to pay the full school fees but are undeterred. Such is their positive attitude.

Singaporeans should be so worried, only then we will stop being complacent.

um, maybe she's dyslexic?

Which may explain the horrifyingly horrible emails that she's structured and sent!

But that's just our guess. She should get it diagnosed and treated, then hold on to a Senior position with dignity. :D
