今天主要做了三件事，第一就是和一个RBC银行开账户的人通了话，向她咨询了最近银行正在推广的开户送ipad的活动的一些细节。昨天晚上她号称会在11点-1点钟之间主动打电话过来，但一直等到12:45仍然毫无动静。来加拿大这五六年，已经经历过太多次了被人不遵守时间的经历，但由于很多时候都是有求于人，所以就不得不忍了，但这一次属于是一个可有可无的预约，我可就不会再惯着她了，只要超过一点，就算她再打过来，我都不准备接了。但没想到的是，12:52，距离一点钟还差8分钟的时候，手机铃声响了，接通之后聊了10多分钟，最终决定还是不去贪这个小便宜了，第一是因为它这个活动所提供的ipad并不是我的理想型-iPad Air，第二则是这个活动是要开通一个月费16.95刀的并持有14个月，总共要花237刀，而且在这期间还要设置两个自动扣款和用网银支付两笔一次性账单，不仅并非完全免费，而且还有非常的麻烦的后续操作，性价比实在太低，所以最终的决定，买iPad Air的事情，还是等到今年黑五的时候再说吧。

第二件事就是和Champlain College的一个IT technician开了一个zoom的视频会议，分享屏幕，让他帮我解决了学校分给我的Office账户和密码没办法登录的问题。这其实并不是一件特别紧急和重要的事，但由于我是一个特别较真的人，所以在约定好的2:30之前的半个小时，我就停止了一切其他的活动，坐到了电脑旁边等待。这个technician倒是挺准时，2:29，提前一分钟开始了，而且还很专业，三下五除二就帮我把问题给解决了。两点值得一提：第一是全程他只开了音频，没有露脸，而我在等的时候就傻乎乎的一直开着镜头感觉特别的菜鸟，第二就是明确了如果要想转换Office的帐号，只能先登出，不能随意切换。

第三件事就是把昨天和CNESST我的agent的电话录音再温习了一遍，明确了一直在困扰我的那套说辞-如果周一9月8号的Pay slip少于105.4，就上传这个Pay slip给CNESST，如果多于105.4，就不用上传了的正确表述。但明确之后，对这段话我仍然不明就里，因为按照我的理解，情况应该要颠倒过来才更合理。但想了一会儿，我决定懒得去管它了，到时候收到了Pay slip，不管数量如何，上传就是了。

Here’s what I mainly did today—three things in particular:

First, I had a call with someone from RBC about that promo they’ve been running where you open an account and supposedly get a free iPad. Last night, she said she’d call me between 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. I waited until 12:45—nothing. Honestly, in the five or six years I’ve been in Canada, I’ve lost count of how many times people just don’t respect time commitments. Usually I just suck it up because I need something from them. But this time? It was a totally optional appointment, so I told myself, “If she doesn’t call by 1, I’m not picking up no matter what.” And then, at 12:52—eight minutes before 1—my phone rings. We talked for about 10 minutes. In the end, I decided not to go for it. Two reasons: first, the iPad they’re offering isn’t even the one I want—it’s not an iPad Air. Second, to qualify, I’d have to open an account with a $16.95 monthly fee and keep it for 14 months. That’s about $237 total. On top of that, I’d need to set up two automatic payments and pay two bills through online banking. So not only is it not “free,” but it’s also a huge hassle. Honestly, not worth it. I’ll just wait until Black Friday this year and buy the iPad Air I actually want.

Second, I had a Zoom call with an IT technician from Champlain College. I shared my screen so he could help me fix the login issue with my school’s Office account. It wasn’t super urgent, but I’m kind of a stickler for time. So half an hour before our scheduled 2:30 call, I stopped everything and sat in front of my computer waiting. He was actually pretty punctual—he joined at 2:29, a minute early—and super professional. He solved the issue in no time. Two little things stood out: first, he only used audio, no video, while I was sitting there with my camera on the whole time like a total newbie. Second, I learned that if you want to switch Office accounts, you can’t just swap them—you have to log out first.

Third, I went over the phone recording from yesterday with my CNESST agent. I wanted to make sure I understood the instructions that had been confusing me: if my September 8th pay slip is less than $105.40, I should upload it to CNESST; if it’s more than $105.40, I don’t need to. But even after clarifying, it still doesn’t make sense to me. Logically, it feels like it should be the other way around. After thinking about it, I decided not to overthink it. When I get the pay slip, I’ll just upload it no matter what.

So, three main things happened today.

First, I had this call with someone from RBC about their promo—open an account and supposedly get a free iPad. She said she’d call between 11 and 1, but nothing until 12:52, just eight minutes before 1. We talked for about 10 minutes, and honestly, I decided not to bother. The free iPad isn’t even the model I want, and the account comes with a $16.95 monthly fee for 14 months, plus all these extra requirements. It’s just not worth the hassle. I’ll wait until Black Friday and buy the iPad Air myself.

Second, I had a Zoom session with an IT tech from Champlain College. It wasn’t urgent, but I showed up early anyway. He joined right on time, super professional, and fixed my Office login issue quickly. Two funny things: he only used audio while I was sitting there with my camera on, and I learned you can’t just switch Office accounts—you have to log out first.

Third, I reviewed a call with my CNESST agent. The instruction was: if my pay slip on September 8th is less than $105.40, I should upload it; if it’s more, I don’t need to. Honestly, it still feels backwards, but I decided not to stress. When I get the pay slip, I’ll just upload it anyway.

So, three things happened.

First, I talked to someone from RBC about their “free iPad” promo. She called really late, almost at 1 a.m., and after hearing all the conditions—monthly fees, auto payments, extra steps—I decided it’s not worth it. I’ll just wait for Black Friday and buy the iPad Air I actually want.

Second, I had a Zoom session with an IT tech from Champlain College. He was super punctual and fixed my Office login problem right away. Funny thing is, he only used audio while I sat there with my camera on the whole time.

Third, I reviewed a call with my CNESST agent. The instructions about my pay slip still don’t make much sense, but I’ll just upload it no matter what.
