Don't you just love the attitude of public sector clerks early in the morning? Especially on a Monday morning, when it's all sunny and shinning and perfect for someone to mess with the whole Zen attitude?

Well, this morning I had a little administrative tasks to take care of at the Bucharest labor office. Never mind the huge queues that leave no air to breathe, the lack of information and the wrong direction one gets. I finally made it to the clerk the company I used to work for was assigned to. I met this pissed off lady (she had been working for less than 10 minutes and she already had an attitude). She was explaining to me that she is now doing things that were 'our' responsibility. She did not mention which exactly these things were.

Cris and I did what needed to be done: looked all confused, smiley and in a general state of awe when faced with her profoundly secret knowledge. She agreed to help us (aka do her job). We're going again next week. On a Monday, again. Bad luck at the beginning of the week...not a good sign!
