I'd like a promotion!

Funny story.

The other day at work, an e-mail was sent out company wide regarding promotion exams.
In Japan, before you can be promoted you have to take a test to see if your qualified for a promotion.

Anyway, so the General Manager of my division sends out an e-mail saying (translated) "If you want a promotion, raise your hand".

So I look over at his desk and raise my hand. He looks at me for a minute, and then he and everyone in my group starts laughing.
Then my boss asks if I want to take the test for fun... haha. As if I like taking tests in english.
I could use a raise though!

Good times.
