It was a pretty horrible day yesterday. The day before I had workd 13 hours to finish preparing an event at work. So I dragged in myself for another day of work bright and early on tuesday morning despite that. It was a pretty bad day. One of those days where you feel deeply bored & tired but you have a ton of work to do and you kinda fight the sweet sweet sleep all day long. I also walked all the way to a clinic to get my Health insurance card renewed only to be told then even though I had all the required documents, I needed the letter they sent me to prove that they asked me to renew it. It doesn't matter if the card is clearly saying it's expiring, i'm obviously cheating. I really need this card to go to the dentist now... my teeth hurt....

General lots of work, little sleep and technology failling on me didn't help. My work computer went boom. I just discovered my answering machine hasn't worked in a month.

Can I use MSN on a mac? My home pc has been down for a month and I miss online chatting. I have IM but I have more people on MSN. Is it possible to integrate both on ichat?

Oh, and the best part about yesterday - woman bitching about our phone message being bilingual with french first. We are in Ottawa, so obviously english should go first, according to her. Since she lives on the Quebec side, she whined that she had to DEAL with french first all the time and that she was amazed and outraged that she also had to deal with french first in Ottawa. Because after all, french is a horrible, horrible language. Long story short, she left a pretty bad and angry  message describing to us why using french in Ottawa FIRST is bad because french is useless since obviously, nobody speaks it in Ottawa and we just keep it for appearances and it should always come in second. Or not at all. Because she added that it made our message long and annoying.

Never mind that everyone in the office in french canadian. Yes, nobody was offended by this. At all.

*grumbles*

MAN, I miss spending a whole day JUST PAINTING. Need a break from B.S. and a hug.

The difference between Ottawa and Florida I think is that we aren't in an english speaking country. We have two official languages. Especially in ottawa, you're always suppose to have both on everything. The order of which goes first however is up to you, or at least I think it is. The thing is, we had an english message following. She just didn't want to wait for it. We NEVER had a problem with any other customer and the company has had this message for years.

She probably just needed something to complain about. Some people are like that. Go figure...
