    Mox should be our patron saint! Who agrees with me?

    Gracias Alejandro!

    P.S. I have nothing against St. Jerome, though.

    No pal, I'm a translator, I work in a private padded cell. ;-)

    Mox, thanks for putting a smile on our face, alas in Australia it's just the same!

    Welcome back, queridísimo Alejandro. Te extrañamos mucho.

    Hilarious as always, and yes, Mox should be the patron saint! We could have shirts made!

    The first question has happened to me, not that I've been told I work at the UN, because I'm in Uruguay, but they told me "then you can work at the UN?". And when I tell them I translate paper they look at me like they're really condused.

    UGH, I feel like banging my head against the wall when someone says "I speak (whatever language), do you think I could be a translator?"
