Back home
The following makes me realize that I’m back home (and frustrates me to no end):
1) Calling “customer care”:
“Press one for English…Numero dos para Espanol….” “Press two for techincal support…………..” etc., etc., … I hate these automated phone menus, will someone just pickup the God damn phone!! (And no, pressing zero does not alway work until you bypass a couple of menus).
2) The American media
Fear, fear, fear - America be afraid, be very afraid. That’s all I read, watch and hear from the media. i.e. “The West Nile virus has killed a man in New York….what you can do to protect yourself from this deadly disease.” Lets take into consideration that the U.S. has over 300 million people and perhaps a handful (or two) of people have died from the West Nile.
Also, who gives a shit about Paris Hilton and her boring life.
I’m not watching the news or reading the newspaper anymore.
3) Driving in California.
On a two lane highway, a large portion of the world recognizes that you drive on the right lane and use the left lane for passing (vice versa if you’re driving in the UK). Doesn’t happen in Cali - wanna lose your mind? Try driving behind the guy, in the passing lane, who likes to drive parallel along a slow moving truck!
4) “Yeah I’ll call you back….” “Let’s get together soon……” Not… Flacky Angelenos. Christ just say I can’t make it, I don’t need to know the reason why you’re a flake.
5) The village idiot is still running the country.
By the way, due to large amounts of Spam I’ve disabled the comments. Please use the contact form if you need to reach us.
