I stopped for breakfast on the way to work this morning. I didn’t think to check my drink. When I got to work I found out that they gave me coffee instead of tea.
MY DAY IS RUINED!
Well, it was for 10 minutes or so until I went downstairs and got a tea (coffee and tea are free here).
MY DAY ISN’T RUINED BUT I AM GOING TO BITCH ABOUT HOW HARD DONE BY I AM ANYWAY!!!

Some days are like that…at least it’s not Monday

they gave me coffee instead of tea.
Easy mistake to make, given that you probably look very much like a man otherwise.

Your masculinity is toxic.

I’ve identified your problem. You drink tea in the mornings. What do you want to be when you grow up?

Your caffeine delivery system is much more adult-like than mine.
Due to French language laws in Quebec our company policy is any communication going to Quebec needs to be in both languages.
First world problems with this:
I have to translate everything. This takes several clicks of my mouse and I am very hard done by.My last name is French so everyone in Quebec now assumes that I can read their French only replies.I can’t read their French only replies so I must do several more mouse clicks and I am very hard done by.I respond to them in French which reinforces their unfounded belief that I can speak French.

That’s awful.
A fairly close second is when they put cream instead of milk in your tea. Eeew.
I stopped for coffee on the way to work this morning, too… just made it in time, the auto shut-off on the coffemaker in the kitchen was about to kick in. I had to flip the switch to keep it on and hot before the 26-second commute to the office…
They know you don’t speak French, especially if you’re using Google Translate…lol
I suppose you could learn French.

We have an internal translator that includes Quebec French. I have been told that it’s decent but not perfect. Certainly better than google translate.
So they likely just think that my French is shit.
Almost as bad as putting gravy on soggy french fries.

I do a mix when I have to talk to colleagues in Quebec. I can do pleasantries and the basics in French, but if it’s technical or requires more complex verb tenses I switch to English.
Google translate is pretty bad. DeepL is a bit better.
