I said "I can work in Florida, I can work at home.... I can relax under the hot sun on the beach in Florida, I can't at home... now why would you go thinking that I want to go there to work??"

They said that since I could go online and work there, that they're not letting me in. After 2 hours of background checks and finger printing and stuff, they realized that I've got a squeaky clean life... and started being WAY nicer to me, in that they'd say "I'm really sorry, but we can't let you in".

So I turn back, go to Canada's customs and she says "They denied you? How come?" and I said "Apparently they think I'm going down there to start a 1 week career"

Despite her best efforts to contain it, she let out a laugh, handed me my ID and let me go.
