Spent 4 hours to get a hold of someone at CRA today. Fun times.
Was working today, so put myself as busy on Teams and worked on other things without getting interrupted, so wasn't a total loss.
another advantage to working from home.... lol
I have to call them about something but have to pick a day when I have half a day to waste waiting to talk to someone.
Is this the tax people you guys are talking about? You actually have humans who answer the phones?!?! And it *only* takes half a day?!?!
Yep. I think there are 3 people answering calls.

good thing you are working from home right now. Laundry is optional!
lol yeah, I'm a shorts and tshirt guy at home, so definitely less laundry.
I've had to change a couple. Last time I took the old belt into Canadian Tire and found one that fit.
I 100% read that as you've changed your *clothes* a couple times.

Searched CT, HomeDepot, Rona, HomeHardware sites and nothing. One appliance parts store in Ottawa had what I need as "Special Order". Amazon had a supplier as "in Stock", so hope that will work out.

If my less-than-productive coworkers ruin this WFH setup for everyone, they gonna see the full Irish/German side of Cathy.
It will not be pretty.

Forgot to mention the other night, watching Sports Centre and they were talking about the previous nights game between Toronto and Winnipeg. The lady says something like "We" need to get the power play going" She was talking about the leafs power play when she said we. We know they are a bunch of leaf fans at TSN but not sure they want their announcers to admit it on air.
Sad thing is that TSN is far less blatant about it than SNET...
