You gotta be kidding me

So I went to Ichabods to talk about work, which went well, he's cool about what I need for flexibility and he's keen on having someone with more menu clue than he and the ability to take over ordering and inventory.BUT...remember Doris the brazilian prep cook with the severe resistance to change and situationally dependant language skills? Guess where she's working as the main prep cook...yup.

oh christ.. that's not funny, but it IS funny at the same time.
I can almost see the expression on your face, the raised eyebrows, the smirk, the "what the FUCK are the chances of this???"

And I can see the expression on Doris's face, "Oh God, it's the lady who served garbage as soup to customers".

*laughs*

Wow. That is absurd. But on the other hand, if asked, which one of you would be given a better peformance rating by your prior employer? Go for it anyways. If she doesn't like the conflict, she can always leave again!

I see the universe is issuing you a personal challenge. Poor Doris, I almost feel sorry for her.

Any Brazilian-to-english dictionary is unlikely to have all the words I need to learn

If you do take the job, I have another possible Brazilian Portuguese resource for you:

An ex of mine is dating a Brazilian woman, a quadrilingual actor/writer with a brain, an attitude, and a temper - if you ever want to consult an expert on invective, I can ask the ex to put you and his GF in touch (though please don't mention the attitude and temper - she's been really working on them, I've been told).

She can get you the local and current jargon, I'm sure - and I've been told that she's quite creative with her invective in all the languages she knows.

Hm, this may actually be more helpful:
