Some thoughts from a lazy ghost blogger Dear readers, It is now becoming a de-facto superstition that every time the titular bloggers go away, something happens so that this lazy ghost blogger has to leave his laziness at home and start reporting. I really hope that this time is the exception. As I have previously mentioned here, the pay and the working conditions are bad, really bad, and they have not improved despite my increasing work experience. So keep your expectations very low; do not expect any brilliant and dynamic ghosting during this period. I suspect that Miguel does it on purpose so that you will all give him a hero’s welcome when he comes back. I do not pretend to excuse my laziness but, since my last ghost tenure, the job has become much more difficult. Some things have been changed in my favorite government site. I am in fact quite disappointed that the minci guys decided to remove their “notas en positivo” section from their web page. How do they expect me to do a good ghost blogging job without their positive notes? It was my favorite section because I could easily report all the government’s good news, such as the ones on Chavez’s Mathematics, MVR personnel coming up North or the government arming peasants. Don’t they like that? And I did it for free! I am appalled and puzzled that they have removed the notes from their site and I am seriously thinking on starting a signature campaign to ask Minister Izarra to reinstate that section. OK, OK, I heard you….I will request Jorge Rodriguez to double check the signatures. I promise. Jorge Arena. 7:58:23 PM    comment []
