you-who! how does this internet machine work?!?!

good morning america! arrival in france was flawless, and as any of you who have ever dealt with french administration can imagine, life is uncomplicated to say the least. wink. wink.

take for example our bout with internet service: orange (previously france télécom) owns the main landlines. we wanted SFR so we could call home for freebies...well, long story short, we're out 55 euros because SFR cut off our phone service with orange (which they shouldn't have done) and finally 8 weeks after our arrival here, we have service with orange instead of SFR. don't ask. it's complicated.

it's kind of like my paperwork to live and work here...it's complicated as well. in fact, our dog and cat are probably more legal to be living and working in the EU than i am, however, i don't see either of them getting off their keisters to do anything. helas...
i digress with this "sujet qui fâche" and furthermore, "cela m'incite à broyer du noir." i will stop here and rejoice in the simple things in life: minitel and the black beans that just arrived via la poste from my auntie. it could be worse, non?
