Dear Diary, I just learned that a co-worker was awarded a research leave to study the Catalan language publishing industry.
I sure need someone to help translate Catalan, b/c when I visited Ibiza and Barcelona I noticed signs everywhere in graffiti that read:
"No volem autopista"
I was so saddened that the poor citizens were not allowed to have Autopsies.
Until my friend explained that "Autopista" means "Expressway." Doh!
But my friend got her new nickname on that same trip, My Banana!
Of course she later explained to me that they were calling her "Mi Hermana" which we all know means, Sister. But I decided I like Banana more. So there! Ha!
