My neighbor broke me up
His English is limited (but a hell of a lot better than my Spanish), and he was telling me that he and a lotta other people just got laid off from Milgard Windows, the third-largest employer in town.

"Ees that focking BOOSH," he said. :rofl:

3. Wow. Milgard is a big producer locally.
I've been getting bids to have the windows replaced in my house and one guy said that he only installed Milgards by special request because he had too many quality problems in the past few years. His assessment was that the company grew too fast and they couldn't keep up the quality.

Your neighbor is right either way. ;-)

5. I told him
"Pero, Boosh es el presidente grande!"



Then we both laughed — which sounds the same in any language.

6. As my Hispanic workmate says ...

...in perfect English, "He's the decider. He's needs to decide himself up a fucking clue."
