A strange lack of English

There are many fluently multilingual people in the world, I have met and worked with plenty myself. One thing that still surprises me is the apparent difficulty of well-resourced organizations in managing to hire any of them.

( I experience all manner of unnatural English from major corporations' professional communicators. )

( I don't know why they can't hire better. )

Maybe I am supposed to be more inclusive in some sense, I'd have just thought that people whose English wasn't at all natural wouldn't be getting the major jobs, that they would lose out to the many who, while maybe not being English, at least speak a version of the language comfortably, even if their own accent shows through. Maybe not.

A very lazy weekend

I have plenty to do but I can't say that I did much of it this long weekend. I have had some moderately late nights and, unusually for me, even took over an hours' nap after my large lunch today. There is useful stuff I could, perhaps should, have done, but didn't make any concerted efforts. I like to tell myself that maybe I just needed the break. The warm weather may be a factor.
