I work a lot of college events, and once worked a graduation reception at an engineering school. We were able to watch the graduation on TV while we waited for the ceremony to end, and I marvelled at how well the Dean strolled through all those Indian and Chinese names like it was nothing.

I met him at the reception afterwards, and told him how impressed I was with his pronunciations, and he said "I work with my assistant for six weeks before graduation, practicing their names. They paid a lot of money, and worked really hard to get to this point, the least I can do is get their names right at their graduation."

And he was absolutely sincere when he said it, and I was impressed even more.

Meet the New Boss.

Same as the Old Boss.
