Some of them as still give me a chock, chills and I simply don't understand how on earth things can be done this way.
One of the things we have discovered in here is simply the lack of doctors. No wonder. One studies for 7 years, and then what? One gets paid much less in Quebec then any other province (and I am not talking about what is happening 50 km south from here), and one needs to be 100% bilingual. No wonder that a minimum amount of doctor wants to stay in this province. So, if one needs to get some help, it doesn't even pays out to have a good insurance, that will cover it all. You can't simply use it, unless you drive 50 km south. You should, just as everyone else, go to the clinic, sit in the room with lots of other people for at least 3 hours in order to get to be seen by a doctor for about 3 minutes in total. It is all free, which is great, I do believe so. But, when you are in a situation like us, that can and want to pay in order to get it fast, then no, no, and no. So, guys, if you think in Denmark sitting at the emergency room for 12 hours made it to the media, here it is a normal story for every kind of sickness.
Today, I have discovered that my salary hasn't arrive at my back account. So, I did question that. At Bell, a nice lady at an employee service sword on her parents graves that it takes 7 days to settle the money. 7 days! You must be joking. It doesn't. It never does. I come from a bank industry and I know that the longest time for money to settle takes 2 days. And that is when one convert the currency, sends the money from one country to the other, etc. Very interesting that it does 7 days for Bell to get my money to my bank account, or does it not. What Bell does, is using employees like me, to wire the money and to get the percentage on the salaried right into the company's pocket. I am sure if tomorrow a CEO of Bell will call, the money will be able to be on my disposal in couple of hours. Oh well, we learn something new every day, don't we?
