the people at the archives nationales want to see me dead but i also found out they built a stand at the notre dame just so people can watch the cranes move and the builders walk around the scaffolding and that did brighten up my day

#it's so frustrating tho bc they have the most dumbass way of requesting archival records like #you have to go up to the desk and they give you a seat and tickets with the inventory numbers you requested #and every time you want to get one (1) box you need to give them the ticket with the number on it #and when you come to register and get your pass they need ur passport and you need to sign 5 million documents #but i requested a couple very important boxes when i was still in pre-registration i.e. had signed up on the website #but had not gone there to get my pass #and the boxes are RIGHT THERE attached to my name in the system. they can see it on their screens.#but they never gave me the tickets with the inventory numbers and now they refuse to give me the boxes #and every time i try to explain (but i have to think bc my spoken french is just not very good) they start talking to me in french #and then i dont understand them and they get annoyed with me and im like IF YOU'D JUST LET ME GATHER MY THOUGHTS #AND EXPLAIN THE SITUATION. LIKE IM TRYING OVER HERE #and i kept saying 'je n'a pas reçu les tickets ce matin' but they just. ignored that. one woman looked at me all mad and just went #NO ticket NO box. but like in french. and im like WHY ARE YOU SO MAD JFC #every day in this place i have psych myself up to talk to people who visibly think im stupid as hell #curry rambles #ill try again tomorrow but i really don't want to go back on friday bc there's other things i want to see at the bibliothèque nationale
