Ya know, when I mentioned it's a whole different world down here I didn't know how much that entailed. The wife and I still, even after three years, have a DC metro mindset, fast paced, cosmopolitan and a work culture (not government employee related) that provides everything needed to get the job done at the drop of a hat. The wife is complaining that the toner is out in the office copier...... toner was ordered 2 weeks ago..... "it should be here soon"....... She has to requisition a laptop case if she wants one, "no one else uses a case"....... She has to provide her own basic office supplies or wait a week to get them.......
Also, while Hispanics make up the majority of the population they're still mostly treated as second class citizens, even by their own people, it boggles the mind.
I've found the Latino population to be the friendliest, most respectful and most helpful group of people since coming back out west and that goes double for El Paso, especially if one at least tries to speak their language and treat them with respect.
I can see where it would be really frustrating. You're in the land of Manana.
