Oofle.
*snagged and netted from a variety of places..* Take my Quiz! and then Check out the Scoreboard!
*grins* No, I will not make fun of you if you don't get 'em all right. ^^
Anyway. Been pretty quiet this week - very boring. Part of me is very glad of that - I'm not into excitement..
Not that I'm not busy. I have all kinds of things gamboling through my head, sorting themselves out, and I am sorting out - or attempting to sort out - a colour-scheme ... it's coming up nicely. ^^
Might even have more commissions - I've been dangling temptation under the noses of some of my fellow gamers, and I am hoping for a bite. (I'll take the complements, and gladly, of course - that's half the point anyway..) Takes time. I have patience. ^^
Oh. Saved up ranting nigh - you might like to dodge. *gets out the soap box*
... GAH! *beats idiots over the head with a decomposing salmon* Just because you asshats can't figure out the difference between an evaluation and a translation does not mean that you can /offer/ said translation and expect us not to pitch a flaming /fit/ about it. Particularly not when it is obvious that you have no idea what you are talking about.
What am I ranting about? About - a month ago, give or take, Andi sorted out and translated about fifty pages worth of German curriculum, project outlines and suchlike and sent a copy of the results and about two hundred bucks to an origanization that claimed to be able to evaluate it and tell him what kind of an education he has in American terms.
A week later, they get back to him and tell him that he's got the equivalent of - I think - a high school diploma and some extra work. No degree. Not even a bloody Associate.
Now - that's basically what he's got in /German/ terms. We knew that. HOWEVER - after a look through all the stuff he sent them, everyone who's looked has had the same general reaction. WTF?! Where do they get off claiming no degree? This shit is worth at the /least/ a Bachelor... (Even me, who's not got a clue..)
Andi was infuriated, /I/ was pissed - everyone he's shown it to so far has agreed - this is bullshit. So he gets on their case.
Now, a week or so later, they are /still/ adamant that it is not equivalent to even an Associate, and we're giving /very/ serious consideration to siccing a lawyer on them. Either, to get our money back, or get a serious evaluation of his skills.
ECE, I believe these guys are called. I do /not/ recommend wasting money on them. Find someone else, if you need your school creds evaluated ...
*kicks soapbox back under bed*
Okay. I feel better now. ^^
