My "Spanish Word of the Day" today made me laugh:

pan, noun
bread; loaf

What do you think of when you think of bread? To many Spanish speakers, regular pan is a crusty loaf of what English speakers would call French bread. A chunk of crusty bread is often eaten with a meal and una barra de pan (a French loaf) is used to make un bocadillo (a sandwich made with French bread). The Spanish words for sliced bread are pan de molde, and this kind of bread would be used to make un sandwich (also a sandwich, but one made with sliced bread).
There’s a Spanish expression llamar al pan pan y al vino vino, which corresponds to to call a spade a spade (word for word: to call bread bread and wine wine).
There’s another expression involving bread that you can use to describe a person physically, estar más bueno que el pan (to be gorgeous - literally, to be better than bread) and if something goes on overlong, you can refer to it as más largo que un día sin pan - literally, longer than a day without any bread.

The ISHT is about to hit the fan. I realize that my cowork is pissed because her hours were changed, but that doesn't have anything to do with me. Seriously, stop being a bitch. And this "NOT MY JOB, NOT MY JOB" crap is not cutting it. There is no intern or secretary here. Things like calling in lunch and stamping the mail and other menial tasks are things that everyone needs to take care of their own self on. AlphaFrog is just about done biting her tounge...and my coworker (besides one mild comment I made - to which she was pissed for a week about, if that gives you any context) is about to see what AlphaFrog is like when she's pissed.

I really miss living in my ASA house...it's kinda lonely here at home on maternity leave. The baby's cute and fun to play with, but I need some adult interaction here... (and most of the discussion here on GC does NOT count)
