Now On With The Show
New goverment in, unfortunately, the Conservatives (the new party) did not get the Majority, they almost had it (according to polls) but I guess the Liberals's (the ousted party) last week of campaign adds scared the crap out of voters.
What does this mean for me????
Proabably another 6 month delay for my immigration paperwork while they "reshuffle" government department workers...... That's probably the good news.
Well that has been two government changes in 10 years, once in Bermuda and now once in Canada. Let's hope Canada does better than the Bermudian Government change....
On another Canada front, last month I got a check back from Air Canada for the refund on my ticket (the part I did not use) it was about 1/3 less than they quoted me. So I called them and asked why did they do this, I had been quoted a set amount for a refund, and they had taken a 1/3 away, over a 100 US dollars. This was quite alot of money for a service fee. I was told that there were no fees involved, and to fax the information to the lady dealing with me.
Well this morning I got a call, they are still looking into this, they did not get my fax the other week, could I mail it in, and include the check (from a Bermuda bank) which was rejected by Roanna's bank and sent back to me......
Apparently I am doomed to have any progress done with anything that has the word Canada attached to it.
Let's see what other bad news. We found out (or at least Roanna and her Mom found out) that our pattern for our Wedding China has been discontinued. We opted for Denby, the Reflex pattern, got a few things and had Roanna's Mom pick up a few pieces over the past few years. Not much, since we were ploping down over $30 bucks a plate. Now we find out that Denby, discontinues patterns after 5 to 7 years.
On the brighter side I think it is good luck when your marriage lasts longer than you Wedding pattern.
So have a great day everyone!!
*edid* Oh well came back to add something on a lighter note. In the links there is a website link called Overheard In New York, this site has a couple of years of conversations that were overheard in New York. SOME CONVERSATIONS MY OFFEND please be warned. I find the site hilarious!!!
