Taking safety to a new level...

So on Friday in the office there was talk about an impending inspection and the maintenance people were in full swing to bring everything up to par.  There were boards and boards of safety signs.  The inspection didn't happen on Friday and it happened today.  Today and Saturday as I looked around the office I noticed signs everywhere warning me about everything (in Spanish).  As I sit in my desk there are no fewer than 4 signs telling me how to get to the one exit on that side of the office (which itself is about 30' by 30').  In my mind figuring out how get out of our office is about as hard as figuring out how to leave a three walled room.  I can hear the reasonable people thinking about how hard it would be to get out of the office if it were on fire so I can accept that.  However, there is a sign on every fuse box, emergency exit, stairwell, and more.  Someone suggested to me today that I take pictures of the office to convey how absurd the situation is and I plan to do that in the next day or so.  I was just contrasting this with the home office and how looking from my cube into an office about (60' by 80') I might see 3 exit signs (at most). 

Then there is the nightlife culture from my experience going out the other night.  In the States when we go out we buy by the round...usually.  Sometimes we'll pay for individual drinks, but usually if we came with someone then we are at the very least buying by the round for that person.  Saturday night at the bar there were 5 or 6 of us and everyone was so adamant on paying for their own drinks it amazed me.  Even those that were related and came together would only pay for the drink they had.  The one time I managed to finagle my way into buying a shot for someone they immediately returned the favor with one for me. 

I'm sure there is something else I can write about, but it's not coming to me and I'm too distracted now.
