“Paul tradujo nuestra carta al inglés, al alemán y al francés en dos ocasiones este año. Estamos muy contentos de su trabajo. Tuvimos problemas con la imprenta y Paul los resolvió por su propia cuenta.”

Dole queue slow blues!
Donnerstag, den 09. Dezember 2010 um 00:00 Uhr
 

November saw a rise in the number of people unemployed in Ronda. The new total is 4,441 which is 113 more than in October. And I think they must have all been at the INEM, the Unemployment Office, today!

I was there with a friend to act as an interpreter and the place was heaving. The fact that the place had been shut for the three previous working days, because of the Puente de la Inmaculada, won’t have helped, but I’ve never seen the place so busy.

And so slow – all the officials seemed to move in slow motion and took an eternity to deal with each case.  Perhaps they all still had hangovers from the five-day weekend just passed!
