Je packe donc je suis

Je m’excuse, on packe...

We’ve made the list, we’ve apportioned timeframes, we’ve even started the pack purge cycle. With the removallists movers coming Wednesday morning (they pack it all too), we need to identify and isolate all the to-be-shipped stuff before then. And we need an inventory of both what we’re bringing and what will arrive later for Canada Customs, so that needs to be done by then too.

I’m ready to get it all done and I’m ready to be gone. After Wednesday I’ll be able to enjoy folks’ company better. We’re to dine Wednesday with Anthony and Brian (another Anglo-Aussie/Canuck couple), then we’re off to 41 Thursday with some of querrelle’s wing chun posse. Friday night will be Ultimate Bears, Saturday is our self-thrown time-for-tubbie-bye-bye shindig, Sunday will be Ultimate Shift. Monday night is reserved for Marko (and we’ll be at a hotel at the airport), then we’re off.

Decisions to be made: ADSL or cable (might be decided for us)? Do we get a landline at all? With whom do we primarily bank? What do I do with my hair?

In BC, specifically in Van, I found that ADSL was far better than cable. Shaw's cable 'net is shared by the people in your area, thus after work/evenings you'll get very slow usage as everyone around you is going online. ADSL on the other hand is individual.

Of course all of this is mute - with Telus on strike, you might not be able to get ADSL installed these days. Dito a new landline.

Anyway, before I moved from Van I only used a cellphone, no landline. (And you *can* have ADSL without a landline.)

I have issues with most banks, but enjoyed the service at VanCity. With the way they support the queer communities, I like supporting them.

The Telus strike is the great variable. Can't imagine not having high speed for weeks or months so might have to start with cable.

we've got the Fidos already set up...woo hoo!

i think you meant "moot"

No, I meant to "mis"spell it - given that the phone company is on strike, I think it is a "mute" point ;)
