nausicaa83I know it's only 3 pm, but today has been so awesome that it already deserves its own entry!
The main cause of celebration is that that real life business that had me so worried for the last two weeks got solved quite splendidly in less than two minutes, mostly because the person I found in the new office was a wonderful and nice woman who helped me a lot with solving my problem, and then we found out we both have cats, and from the usual depressing legal tutor obligatory conversation we went on to happy cat appreciation society. It was great!
And this morning I finally made a Netflix account. Apparently all it took was installing ZenMate on Chrome, which I had already done weeks ago, and then set it to USA. I entered my credit card on the website, and two minutes later I got a call on my cellphone from the credit card company, asking me if it had indeed been me who had used my card on Netflix. I told them yes, and then thanked them a lot for being so quick and thorough. The woman on the phone sounded startled at hearing me thank her, and then she honest-to-god giggled and thanked me back and we talked a little about Netflix and how it works. I'm equal parts happy at having made someone's day at work a little better, and appalled that she hadn't obviously ever recieved a word of thanks for her job before. What the hell, humanity.
Then I finished setting my account, and lo and behold, it works! I installed the plugin on my laptop as well, and I spent half an hour compiling a list of shows I want to watch. And the best part is that it's legal and I'm paying for it, so I won't feel guilty anymore for downloading stuff I want to see but that isn't available in my country. \o/
