Ok, I admit, I didn't know what the Google API was until the news broke out and my brother, a super affiliate (I love saying that) started freaking out that this basically means the end of his website.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely internet-dumb. I do use Google Translate all the time, but the acronym API is a first for me.
So, since I am addicted to the WhiteSmoke Writer, and I have not failed to notice that there is a lovely little tab right beside it called the WhiteSmoke Translator, I hereby send out a request on behalf of my brother, Rick, please make your Translator available in an API sort of version thing.
There! See, Rick? I care :)
Oh, this is the WhiteSmoke Translator page I found on their website: www.whitesmoke.com/translator.html
And this is their homepage, obviously: www.WhiteSmoke.com
Good luck all you Translator API dependent people! I'm here if you need any legal help, Rick's got his own blog for technical stuff :)
Jane out!
P.S Curiosity got the best of me and a simple Google search led me to the following information: API=Application Programming Interface. I still don't know what it means though...

Artanut - Jewelry
I found this site totally by accident - www.artanut.com
Don't ask me the meaning of the name, I don't know - but they have jewelry, art and crochet stuff
Personally, I'm into the jewelry - I bought this gorgeous pearl necklace for really cheap (and they're real!)
I mean, it took two weeks to get here but I highly recommend the store!
I'm currently waiting for a special-made bracelet I asked them to design for my niece, I hope she'll like it (*fingers crossed*)

I've Been Mentioned!
I don't know if I've mentioned this (actually I know I haven't), but I'm completely addicted to Google Alerts. Obviously, I've got an alert on "Mediocre Jane" and - I'VE BEEN MENTIONED!
So there, happy happy, joy joy

WhiteSmoke Grammar Checker
Hey,
so I thought I'd say again, in case there are people out there who don't know this yet - GRAMMAR MISTAKES ARE ANNOYING AS HELL! Please proofread your texts! Microsoft's checkers aren't enough so if you can't count on yourself to catch your own mistakes, use a grammar checker like ginger, grammarly or whitesmoke - personally, I can tell you after trying all three that WhiteSmoke is by far the best and cheapest.
So there, you know who you are....

Share
Just wanted to share something I found that was interesting: http://www.whitesmoke.com/spain-unemployment/?a=136&d=4&r=3252
I had to show this to my niece to prove to her how important her English communication skills are. I mean, if a non-English speaking country like Spain has such a huge unemployment problem BECAUSE of English illiteracy, imagine what your odds are of finding a job in the US if your English communication skills are shot.
So there dear, go back to your room and finish up your homework!

It's Been a While...
It's been a while and today I was just sitting in front of my laptop and thought - I really feel like typing, so I'm writing another post since the other typing I have to do involves a case I'm trying to convince myself will just go away if I ignore the file teetering on my kitchen counter.
I have a cute and adorable dog who does this thing where he shoves his face under a newspaper or shirt and then, apparently, assumes that since it doesn't see me, I can't see him - even though the rest of his body is in clear view and his tale is banging against the floor. So I'm hoping if I ignore that annoying, and yet beckoning, file in my kitchen - it will somehow sprout legs and walk out the door.
Some cases are just too tiring and it's not that this one is hopeless but it's one of those things where you don't know where to begin and so you try to avoid beginning it at all.
Yeah... I'm going to stop typing and go over the file right now... *sigh*

I Can't Concentrate
I do a lot of reading, a lot of paper work... it's part of my job. Today I arrived at the office a bit early and started going over the case files that were on my desk and, multi-tasker that I am, went through my emails as well. I won't get into detail but one of the emails was sent to me in confidence, I was BCC-ed on a co-worker's response and I just got chills down my spine. I tried to convince myself that it's nothing and that they wouldn't show me this if they didn't have my back. Still, I can't focus on my tasks, I can't concentrate, and worst of all - I'm MAD.
I'm rarely ever mad, I just don't know how to deal with this emotion. My heart rate goes up, my body starts shaking and I feel like I'm going to explode. And for what? A good for nothing piece of crap who thinks he's better than me because he went to a better university. Bottom line is, I'm smarter than he is and it pisses me off that a person with a single digit IQ who had the connections and cash to go to Harvard gets the nerve to send an email to my co-worker telling him that I should be fired because he just doesn't think a person with my "background" should be in such a popular firm. He might as well have said "She's black and she's a woman, let her go."
Men piss me off enough as it is, but a racist man... wow. I hope karma comes and bites him in the ass. In the meantime, he better pray to God we never face each other in court.
