Rain and Outdoor Tile, What Were They Thinking?

So, it is now the begining of winter. And what comes with winter in Santiago?? RAIN! Today was the first day that I had to walk in the rain, and it suddenly hit me. Why would they put tile outside? Its like nice polished tile something that should be in a bank or the Mall of America, but here they put it outside as sidewalk. Well, when that kind of tile is wet at the mall or a bank its very very slippery which is why there is always that CAUTION WET FLOOR sign. Theres no caution sign here. You are just forced to walk really really slow and try to not slip and fall. I really don't understand what people were thinking when they did this. Are they just so stupid that they thought that the tiles would never get wet? Or do they enjoy watching people walk around trying not to slip?!? WTF?!?!

Anyways... Its the last day of April. In two weeks I will have finished my fourth month in this city, my second month working here at WEUSA. And what do I have to say for it. Well first only 2 and a half months til my 10 day vacation to the US!!! I can't wait!! Only 8 more months in this city. And my job.... well I am at work right now, I came here actually kind of excited that it was going to be a busy day. I had 5 interviews scheduled, its 11:35 right now and the second person didn't show up. No call, no show. This kind of frustrates me. Since one of our programs we use is down I have nothing to do. I spent all of yesterday ripping up old applications from winter season 2006, I found Rodrigo's app and picture! I wish I could put it up on here, he would kill me, but he has changed so much in the last year and a half since the pic was taken!! That was the highlight of my day. SO now here I sit hoping that my 1:30 shows up and since its not noon yet, I have a while to wait. I found Super Nintendo games on this computer so I think Im gonna give one of those a try!! Hahaah!
Tomorrow is a holiday here in Chile so we don't have to work, Rodrigo doesn't have classes and we have the whole day free!! So if I get paid tonight I am going to buy Pictionary, in Spanish. And we are going to play with our friends tonight. Of course we have to somehow turn it into a drinking game so the night will probably be interesting. And of course I will have to pull out my Spanish/English dictionary so maybe I will learn a few new words tonight. Also tomorrow I am going to put all of my pictures from here this time around on a memory stick and I will bring them to work so I can work on adding them to this so everyone can see what they have been waiting to see!! Lots of love.
