I am a future jobber!

So my sister and I carelessly use the term Jaba monster to describe what she does. (Not an exagerration)
I always thought it was a Korean term, "jah-bah," meant to describe work in the wholesale/garment/merchant industry.

Little did I know it was the Korean pronunciation of jobber!!!
Talk about lost in translation!

job·ber

–noun
1. a wholesale merchant, esp. one selling to retailers.
2. a pieceworker.
3. (formerly) a merchant who deals in special, odd, or job lots.
4. a person who practices jobbery.

How nice it is to learn something new every single day.
