socialism at work



WARNING-THIS MAN IS A TWAT

what a conio of a day...
up around 7am and pfaffing around trying to sort crap out
big hurry going on so im power walking in the wake of vanessa
pobrecita angelica vanessa and i get a bus to the centre of town (or two)
because she was told that the ministry of health was the place to get anti malaria pills
so we get there


and mr army man says 'you cant' come in
fuck off
coz im wearing shorts
you cant enter government buildings with shorts on
what a bag o shite
so i decide to buy some trousers
coz i cant be farked going all the way back to get changed
i buy them in a nearby market and plan to put them on then and there
vanessa says its not correct
so we go off trying to find a toilet
first one is closed

2nd one is closed
3rd one is closed
im already v tired and becoming v cranky
i put them on over my shorts and we get in
we are directed to the something floor where we go
eventually some socialist party crony shows up and speaks a whole load of communist bollocks and takes us to another room
tell vanessa that she can sign the document
because she 'is the people'
we wait... nothing happens
eventually 5 people come back from some kind of break
they are truly doing fuck all
the office manager sits about looking all important banging on about nothing
but he clearly hasnt got a clue what hes talking about and hes trying to hide it
there is no anti malaria pill
there is no inocculation
there is no malaria
there is no earth
there is no me or you
there is just rubbish that he's making up....
go here
try there
go there
try here
coz he too most likely is a party crony
eventually the secretary takes us aside and suggests 15 things
each less plausible than the last
its pretty clear here that nobody has any idea what is going on
if the whole govt is run like this the country is in BIG trub
we go back to the original place but give up when nobody will help us
a ridiculous kids show comes on the monitor
we head off across town to another option
some kind of clinic where they do anti stuff
we get there and wait
people faff around incessantly
eventually vanessa butts in and we get to see this lady
who them claims that malaria medication is only for people who go to the jungle for 3 months or more
which is obvious shit
she says i can have a yellow fever booster
why not? i figure
so we go off and get stabbed for that
whilst stabbing was going on i asked the nurse about the anti malaria stuff
and she claims its the same innoculation!
which is shit, coz there is no innoculation for malaria...
im frazzled and confused and vanessa says it is all a mierda
we get the bus back to the flat
and head off again
i ring the agencie de viaje and the bird says i dont need where im going
WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON!?
I give up, we get the bus to the banks
get some bolIvares and go shopping
get some anti mosquito stuff, sunglasses, mob phone credit, long sleeve shirts, thongs and some kind of grape flavoured soft drink which is way too sweet
we then get another bus up the road a bit more so vanessa can get some books for university
how many buses? how many ridiculous stories? how much incompetence?
