Another culture shock moment: the lack of frivolous adult education classes in Los Angeles. I'm not even in search of a course to teach me how to cook Thai food or play better pool (though those would also be cool), I just want a simple careers skills brush-up like this. Seems the adult ed classes in L.A. focus mainly on things like literacy and the GED. Now I'm embarrassed for even looking. (Echoes of people telling me I'm an idiot for complaining about the whole no job, no mon-ay thing as long as I have a roof over my head and all my limbs.)
