1. The version of O Canada they play over the P.A. alternates between English and Miꞌkmawiꞌsimk. That's all well and good, but where the fuck is French? We literally live in a FRENCH SPEAKING PROVINCE! WHY IS IT ENGLISH AND MI'KMAWI'SIMK BUT ***NO FRENCH***??
2. Friend kept trying to talk to me during the announcements; got mad at me when I told them not to talk during announcements.
3. My entire schedule is fucked up today. Classes are 55 minutes instead of 65, my fourth period class is happening during first period time, and I have to go see a presentation during fourth period, go to fifth period, then go and watch the SAME PRESENTATION AGAIN DURING FIFTH.
4. I have a dentist appt. today. I hate the dentist.

I hate mosquitos, I killed like 10 of them last night
And I cannot take birth control due to the fact I take blood thinners (Eliquis). Taking birth control + taking blood thinners= increased risk of blood clots. And if I don't take blood thinners, I could die within a few days to a few weeks.Me too
Mortgage companies. I have been absolutely freaking the fuck out over our mortgage. Our monthly payment suddenly DOUBLED. We were barely scraping by, month to month, and sudden we're hit with a huge tax increase that literally doubled our monthly mortgage payment. We tried damn near everything to figure out how this had happened--we were scrimping and saving to try to pay our escrow down but were told we only had until to July. They sent numerous emails, warning us of how much debt we now had.
Hubby finally got ahold of someone on the phone and lo and behold, they had accidently doubled the taxes due. Last year, property taxes went on the April statement and this year, they went onto May's statement....but they forgot to take it off the in April and charged us twice.
HOLY FUCKING CHRIST. I was already doing home searches because I knew we'd never be able to pay that amount. With me on the verge of losing my job, we have been living month to month, paycheck to paycheck. My elderly mother will even send us some cash once or twice a year, because she knows we're broke.
Dear GOD, I hope that's an end to it.

I live on an irrigation district canal. There are places where the water doesn't move that have lots of mosquitos. They always find a way in the house. I find that running a fan in the room keeps them at bay. They can't locate the source of CO2 that is exhaled and go to the ceiling. You don't have to aim the fan at you, it just has to circulate the air in the room.
I heard the version they sang after the cabinet swearing in yesterday, that was sung in English, French and Anishinaabemowin. It was a pretty nice rendition.
But, yes, dropping the French completely is a bizarre choice for a French-speaking province.
(Of course, I always find it somewhat amusing how very different the French and English versions are.
