I'm not complaining, by the way; I love the monsoon. I only chastise myself for forgetting an umbrella this morning.
It's nice working at a job where I get only about 30 emails a day --- as opposed to getting 30 emails every 30 minutes, as at one of my previous jobs.
The best word I found in the (online) dictionary today: commove tr.v. 1. To cause to move with force or violence; agitate; disturb. 2. To rouse strong feelings in; excite.
Other words that I actually used in work today: leverage (as a verb), position (as a verb), competencies and fundamentals (as a noun). Kill me now.

Actually, 30 email a day for a 3 day old new staff is already considered quite a lot. I remember getting less than 3 work related email per day during my first week in office. :)
oooh. the language of my world. welcome, my dear friend. let us leverage...
gosh, sounds like business-speak.
you in a business-consultancy now?
DK > Well, there was a good bit of urgent work flying around today, hence the emails. Plus, er, admittedly some of those emails were about lunch arrangements.
kk > Eeyur, I don't talk to you anymore!
YO > No, I'm doing something writing-related, which is what I hope to make a living out of. But yes, one cannot entirely evade business-speak when we're living in Singapore, Inc.
To leverage on your competencies, the fundamentals must not be ignored: position an umbrella or be commoved by monsoon.
mis_nomer,
muahahahaha
