Uh huh...

...So this is a quote from the Chronicle Herald today:

"Lt.-Gov. Mayann Francis says it’s been disappointing that after two years she still hasn’t been able to move into Government House.

The stone mansion in downtown Halifax has been undergoing $5.7 million worth of renovations, so unlike her predecessors she hasn’t yet been able to live in the official residence of the province’s lieutenant-governor.

"It’s not something I dwell on or get sad over because I just don’t have the time," Ms. Francis said in an interview Friday to mark her second anniversary in the post.

"If I were to dwell on disappointments because I’m not in the house, then I probably wouldn’t be as successful as I have been in what I have been able to accomplish in two years — and that is a heck of a lot."

She has instead remained in her own condominium while receiving a $6,000 monthly housing allowance from the province. For her official duties, she has 2,800 square feet of space in the Maritime Centre, a highrise office building.

She said her role as the Queen’s representative, for which she’s paid $100,000 a year, involves visiting communities throughout the province — a map in her office space indicates the ground she has covered — and hosting dignitaries for various dinners and receptions.

"It’s a challenge," Ms. Francis said. "Is it easy to do it without the house? Of course it’s not. Does it mean I work 10 times harder? Yes."

She realizes the house required upgrades. But not having the staff on hand at such a location — such as housekeepers, doormen and a chef — has cost her some important company, she said. " - Chronicle Herald (http://www.thechronicleherald.ca/NovaScotia/1077134.html)

Not right sure what to say after that. Some people can't afford to heat their homes...some don't even have homes...and she's upset cause her multi-million dollar home isn't ready for her "dinner parties". Oh and who can forget the servants...apparently without waitstaff it makes you need to "work 10 times harder"...WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD HONEY!!

"Won't you look down upon me, jesus
You've got to help me make a stand
You've just got to see me through another day
My body's aching and my time is at hand
And i won't make it any other way" - James Taylor
