Back Then!

Thinking back about my job search period, I sometimes get chills. Indeed I was close to accept really shitty positions back then for much less. I could not, of course, predict where I would be today and back then it was hard to be choosy. The economy looked so bad, even now, that one would […]

Day 5: No Stress!
Filed Under Daily | Leave a Comment
Relatively smooth day. Nothing happened and everything went smoothly. The Gala Banquet was nice and not as stressful as I feared. Today is my last day. I cannot wait to get back to my routines in France. I miss playing games :). I am tired of social events.

One more Drama! This time the blow came from the American head organizers. Another secretary had a heated exchange with the person responsible for the American team. Again I was not part of any of this and I was happy. Since I came here, I did my best to avoid drama. My fellow workers are […]
