Trying to be more efficient

I know that some of you must think that I have become extremely lazy as far as my website is concerned. But no! I am not. Sometimes, it just takes ages to write or produce something. Take this film, for example - ages, I tell you!
Maybe I have to adapt to this Irish abbreviation system to be more efficient. Sometimes I can't believe how deeply rooted this is in Irish society. When I went to Londis last week to get me a delicious bagel, I was again reminded, how complicated my thinking was and that I in fact could save an enormous amount of time. After carefully studying the menu, I decided on a bacon-lettuce-tomato bagel. "What?!" the assistant stared at me. "A bacon-lettuce-tomato bagel...?" I repeated, stressing every word just in case she was Polish. "Hu?" There it was, the stare again, the "you-are-an-outsider-stare". I started sweating, my face red with shame and anger. For God's sake, this one! I pointed to the menu. She crawled around all the tomatoes and eggs, joined me and read the menu, frowning. "Aaaaaaaaah, you want a BLT!"

She was Polish. And she obviously learnt the abbreviations before she learnt English.
