I tried to explain to the upset government woman that maybe it is a Brazilian thing. The interview was going okay up until that point but right but from then on she was acting like we were guilty of a major crime. It went immediately from being an interview to an INTERROGATION. No matter what my answer, the government woman would sneer and shake her head in a negative way. I got so nervous that when she asked what I bought my wife for Christmas, my mind went blank (I got her a Carolina Herrera perfume set). The anger emanating from that government woman was unbelievable. It was like a demon possessed her the moment she saw that photo album pic. And from that point on this has become a NIGHTMARE.
OTOH, the new book by Neal Boortz ("Sombody's Got to Say It"), which hasn't been released yet, is 18...
Good luck the the misses, PJ. There is NOTHING more infuriating than a bureaucrat that has been promoted beyond their capability (which accounts for 99.98% of all of them)
