At Work

Well, here I am getting used to the routine at work. As always happens with me,
I begin to take deficiencies of information personally, as in "come on, ville de Saguenay,
stick your neck out and give a projected cost estimate. All the cool townships are doing it," or "hey, you're a school-board - how the hell can you
not have a phone number!?"
This is because I will then have to go call up some surly public servant and ask them and be made to feel
feel stupid.

Still, there's the charm of names belonging to probably quite boring places but which my
mind translates literally:
Pays-des-bleuets; École Rose-aux-Vents; École porte-du-Nord,

-and of course St-Louis de Ha! Ha!

or the pleasure I feel when some new piece falls into place, like when when I suddenly
realize that normaliser means "to bring up to code."
