Which is why I missed the Paris-Nice prologue.

Because you couldn't wade through it any deeper?

I started out as an electronics tech too but kept being promoted.
They kept inventing new levels of tech in order to keep raising my pay.
They started Senior Tech, then Master Tech, then I'd pretty much had
enough with Super Tech. When they started eliminating techs in the
higher pay grades I finally moved into engineering. It didn't much
matter since I'd been engineering for 10 years before I got the title.

I ran this through my Kunich translator and came up with:

I was an Electronic Tech but good enough to get raises every time Calif
raised the Minimum Wage. The company changed my title frequently so that
my ego would be well fed. I also worked as an Engineer without actually
having the requisite degree.

Not that I want to move to Alabama, W Va, KY, or Ole Miss, but happiness
surveys are notoriously tainted by differing self-assessment.

That's a complex way of saying that some cultures are just grumpy.

Easy for you happy, long-living Canadians to say:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_life_expectancy

Here's the life expectancy by state, looks like it tracks the
happiness index pretty well:
http://tinyurl.com/b56j9x
http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/...913_099763.htm

The life expectancy data is presumably less subjective than the
happiness surveys. Or not. There are some real horror stories from
countries with socialized medicine:

MAN:
Hello. Uhh, can we have your liver?
MR. BROWN:
My what?
MAN:
Your liver. It's a large, ehh, glandular organ in your abdomen.
MR. BROWN:
Yeah,-- y-- y-- yeah, I know what it is, but... I'm using it, eh.
ERIC:
Come on, sir.
MR. BROWN:
Hey! Hey! Stop!
ERIC:
Don't muck us about.
MR. BROWN:
Stop! Hey! Hey! Stop it. Hey!
MAN:
What's this, then? Mmh.
MR. BROWN:
A liver donor's card.
MAN:
Need we say more?
MR. BROWN:
Listen! I can't give it to you now. It says, 'in the event of
death'. Uh. Oh! Ah. Ah. Eh.
MAN:
No one who has ever had their liver taken out by us has survived.
MR. BROWN:
Agh.
ERIC:
Just lie there, sir. It won't take a minute.

I can't say whether or not the Canadian system actually makes people
happier than the American system. US horror stories are abundant.

But I can tell you that right now my wife is in the middle of dealing
with some fairly agonizing (but not life-threatening) back problems. The
wait to see the neurologist once was 2 months from the time of her
referral, and her MRI will be at an undetermined date with very short
notice.

None of this will kill anyone. It just means she is in a lot of pain
that's only so-so controlled by fun-pills, and will be until the MRI
frees up.
