Return to the Red Tape

Just when you´ve had enough of the papers, the signing, the commutes to buildings you´ve never been to in random parts of town, just when you think you´ve done it a thousand times and it won´t ever surprise you or upset you, or ¨grind your gears¨ as some might prefer, it makes an ugly and rather uncomfortable comeback like Brett Favre returning to play for the Vikings.

 Some people say that change is good, and I believe that whole-heartedly, but sometimes change is also something heavy and obnoxious to put up with, like when you pay for a metro pass with 20$ and get 18$ in Sacagawea coins that get easier to carry as you eventually use them, but are at first a total ball-buster to deal with. Let´s just say I´ve got a bag full of Sacagawea coins and they need to be taken all over Madrid. They´re cool 1 or 2 at a time, but a weeks supply of them sort of sucks.

You knew darn well that putting a 20euro bill in a Spanish metro machine will yield a shower of sparkly monetary units. So stop you're whining and head out for a caña...or two =)
