the c onsequences of being ... greedy!
two years ago, when we moved to our appartment, my mom asked my brother (since he is older) which room he wanted , a bigger one or a smaller one. He said : " let my sister choose first".
So, my mom asked me. And of course, as sincere as i am, i said i wanted the big room for me :)
This room is amazing, in Winter time, it's the coldest room, in Summer time, it's the hottest one!!! It's like a furnace now! I am boiling!!!!
That's the price to pay!

Men will always be men!
In my class, there are about 20 men ... As we were setting up the routers, we have to enter a password ... just for the fun of it, someone asked who had put his girlfriend's name as password. Most of them raised their hand!
Argh! *sigh* ! how original are they!?!!!

my choice is ...
here are several ways to become millionnaire
1) win lottery
2) inherit from the family
3) mary a rich person
4) get injured and sue people
1) i don't have enough luck
2) it's hopeless
3) that's been my dream for a long time!
4) that works only in the States
So there are some more ways
5) put $5 each day in an account with a 10% interest for 42 yrs
6) start your own business
5) that's way too long! i am getting old :)
6) YES, i have decided to do that!!! --------- wish me luck!! I need a good product or service that people would joyfully pay to get it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what i am reading now ... stuff by Marshall Brain, who gives advice to people who want to jump into business!!!!!!!!!!!!

depanneur's stories
today, i had some interesting customers ...
the first one is a very tall guy. his height is 6'8 and he is as skinny as a stick! that was impressive and somehow not that nice to see, because it is so unusual! he should eat more ... that's what i wanted to tell him but i refrained myself.
the second one is a don juan. every time he comes, he brings a new and beautiful girl with him. i wonder where he goes to find them. he's been our customer for 3 years now. the first year, he came with a car, the second year with a motocycle and now with a bike!!!
the third one is an old lady who wanted to buy a playboy magazine!?! she doesn't even know what it is. i had to find it for her ... and she wanted them all!! no comment.

wait , wait and wait ...
yesterday, it was just about waiting ... therefore, i missed my class ... my plans never work out ... i am tired of planning things ... hey, Fido laid me off! i am no more a (network) planner!
i waited for my friend to come to pick me and another friend up. there was an accident, we were stuck in the traffic on the way to pick someone else up. the distance could have been done in 5 minutes in normal conditions ... we had to wait for about 40 minutes or more ... then, we had to wait for the third person to dress up because i had forgotten to tell her that she was coming with us ... it took more than 15 minutes ... finally, we had to decide where to go ... and i guess at the end, the less patient person in our group made the decision alone ... we ended up in a very nice and fancy sea food restaurant ... we ordered fresh fish (and the less expensive one) ... so we had to wait even more for them to cook it ... by the time we finished, my course was over!!!!
in terms of planning, i was almost 3 hours behind my initial schedule ... i have poor planning skills ... ah

Carmen under the stars
as a friend pointed it out, it would have been more appropriate to say -Carmen under the clouds- !!
For its 25th anniversary, the opera de montreal presented Carmen outdoors for everybody. it was a premiere ... it was cool. The opera was very lively, the actors were super good and the songs were amazing.
But the feeling is different though when i see it for real compared to when it's projected on a huge screen. Still, last night's performance was worth it.

The procedures were very fast because i just had to pay!!

rock climbing
on friday, i went rock climbing with a bunch of friends. i am scared of heights, i was hoping that i could master my fears ... the fist wall was scary but i did go all the way to the top! After climbing 4 walls, i was so tired! it was fun and exciting though!
now i am a monkey princess :)
But the next day, i was so sore! especially my arms, because i didn't use my legs to push me but i was pulling with my arm!! or maybe i am just out of shape .... So, even brushing my teeth became a challenge to me!!! my arms hurt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

who to blame?
this morning, i took the bus to go to school. it was a hot day so i opened the window and i closed my eyes. after getting off, a lady came to me and told me that i was selfish to have opened the window because some other people might not have liked it, i was selfish because i didn't consider other people's opinion, i was just thinking about myself!
my first reaction was to say sorry ... i think i am well too conditioned because i didn't feel sorry at all at that moment. I said sorry out of politeness not of sincerity.
I wasn't convinced at all by her arguments. she blamed me out of her own selfishness!!! she didn't want to have the wind on her face! I could have told her the same lines: it's such a hot day, some people feel hot, you should have opened the window! don't be selfish and just think of yourself!
When, i opened the window, another lady came to sit beside me and enjoy the wind ( at least, that's what i think!)
Do to others what you want others to do to you, that's the motto for a free and democratic society. And that applies to you too my lady!!!!!! and me ... so we have a problem here ... because there would be always one side that won't be happy!

mission impossible!
a friend of mine is going to China to visit another friend who's studying Chinese there. her Chinese is so good now ... i feel ashamed of myself!
anyways, i wanted to buy something for my friend to bring it to her. naturally, i wanted to purchase something that was not "made in China". It turned out to be not an easy task! i had to go to many stores ... finally went to Carlton to buy some notebooks and books and to Bureau en gros for some pens and crayons. The notebook is Canadian and costs 6$ but it looks the same or maybe worse than those notebooks in dollar stores. How come it's so expensive when Canada has so many trees????
The rest is American. I try to boycott them ... but that's hard too! AH! Life is challenging!
