Unexpected recess... Blowing out

Today I didn't go to work. And neither will I tomorrow or wednesday. An explosion in Veracruz, a state of my country caused a shortage on gas supply that affected a lot of companies around the country. I work for General Motors plant in my state. TOday, the plant has decided that they will shutdown production for three days and probably for the whole weel. I will have a recess and will get full paid for it. Why am I not happy about it?

Don't get e wrong. Even if I have time to rest (and play videogames) there are lots of things to think about. I am not happy because the rest will be over soon... but will the explosions end either. One thing that Mexico has had over the years is a sensation that we are invulnerable to anything that happens in the world. We think that those things only happens to countries that get too involved. We don't do that. Well, I think it is time to start worrying about it. There is evidence that such explosions were deliberatly caused. Terrorism... too bad. But worse, it is the same people who lives in here. Two suspects: Drug dealers and left wing followers. It is very sad that we are doing this ourselves. If these things are going to keep going, our peace might be affected.

I rather like to go work than have to worry about my own safety. There is no price on that. That is a fact. I might not enjoy this resting time. It is time for me to think that our safety is jeopardized and things might be different from now. It is time to wake up to the fact that "it is happening". And it sucks.

But I just hope I'm being paranoid. It is not fair. We worked out a good international relation... to start making these kind of actions to ourselves. It is just not fair.

I hope videogames help me out during this recess that is unexpected and more of it, unwanted. My safety and tranquility instead of a week of rest? Hell yeah!

I will be here a lot of time trying fulfill some pendings. If you want to have some conversation you can contact me to my MSN contact.

Regards.
