A giggle for Monday...

The amusements of working in a Japanese office...

The context-- last week we did some media interviews for a Dutch bank with operations in Japan. The article appeared in the paper today. A rainy Monday morning brought this to my inbox from a Japanese managing director in my company:

I can see Maeda-san tried hard to find the fuck - strategic advisory business,
focusing on 20 food-agri companies, Rabo slated to expand business in Japan.

She later clarified: She meant to say the "hook" of the article, but wrote it phonetically, according to the Japanese pronunciation.

Please discard below - I meant hook

Hehe. A giggle for Monday.
