J Is For "Jefe" {Boss} | A To Z Challenge


In my ongoing efforts to learn Spanish, I'm highlighting a Spanish word each day during April as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge. I'm also sharing the random thoughts that pop into my head as I try to pronounce them.

* * *

Today's Spanish word is >>jefe<< (boss). And now for today's random thoughts:

1 - I think >>jefe<< is one of those words that some people already know in Spanish. I'm pretty sure I had heard it before. Not sure where - maybe on Breaking Bad. I also learned >>hermanos<< (brothers) from watching it. Did you know there's a Spanish remake of Breaking Bad?

2 - Today's word reminds me of my time working in corporate la-la land. I had some great bosses. I also had one or two that were. . .perhaps it's best if I don't finish that thought.

3 - For the most part, I enjoyed working, but I have to say that I enjoy not working even more.

4 - It's so nice not to have to set an alarm every morning.






Any good work stories you want to share? Are you the boss at work and/or at home? What's your favorite word that starts with "J"?

Saturday Spotlight | Jinx Schwartz, Author Of The Hetta Coffey Mysteries

In addition to the usual blog posts every Monday and Wednesday about our travel adventures and day-to-day life living aboard a sailboat, I also occasionally post on Saturdays, focusing on things related to writing such as cover reveals, book launches, reviews, interviews with authors etc. So if you're a bit of a book nerd like I am, check in on Saturdays - you never know what might pop up. Today, I'm featuring an interview with Jinx Schwartz, USA Today bestselling author of the Hetta Coffey Mysteries. I first discovered Jinx and her books through the Women Who Sail Facebook group and quickly fell in love with her main character, Hetta, a sassy woman with a snazzy yacht who isn't afraid to use it. Jinx has a great sense of humor and her books have me laughing out loud from start to finish. The fact that they have a boating focus is the icing on the cake (and we all know how much I like cake). When I set out to write my own sailing mystery series , Jinx was one o...

Morning Coffee | Random Thoughts & Oddities

Paul at Lat43 does these hysterical Morning Tea blog posts which are a brain dump of whatever pops into his head while he's writing them. I decided to steal his idea. Except, I'm drinking coffee while I write this and he drinks tea, so it isn't really stealing, is it? So, here we go - all of the random nonsense floating through my head while I sip on my morning coffee. I got a little bit of boat envy the other day after taking a tour of a Westerly Seahawk 34 that some friends just bought. It's the same size as ours and also has a center cockpit, so it was interesting to see how the layout differs. Pretty similar except it has amazing headroom. I wonder why I referred to their boat as an "it"? Everyone knows that boats are girls . This is the second boat they've owned (I think). We're on our second boat. I wonder if we'll be content with this one or look for another one someday? Whole wheat pasta is terribly disappointing. Sure, it's higher...
