Spain - Day 3 Wednesday

September 21, 2007
So while I sit and wait to establish my residency, I decided to check out the town and figure out what I am going to do with the rest of my time here in Spain, be it for a year or forever. Many people know I am good with computers and this town needs a new technician. How much different can it be from when my mother calls me and asks me "how do you make the thingy make the noises"? Sure I am not exactly proficient in the Spanish ways and languages, but how hard could it be after that right?
So most people ask what I can do (some talents I have are useless in any country...like playing the spoons) and I respond that I am good with computers, networks, etc. Everyone then goes into a speech on how horrible the local tech is. They rant in incomprehensible Spanish or Catalan about how lazy and slow he is. Again I pick up key words and pray I know what the heck they are talking about. I pick up words like stupid and expensive and I take my queue on what the people want. So now I have to go check this dude out...
