After reserving 8 days for Christmas and New year’s vacations, I still had 7 days off to put somewhere so I decided to have small 4 days/week of work in coming weeks until December. Today is a day off for me. I like having short weeks. I still do some work but in a relaxed […]

As soon as I got home I plugged the internet box in. I struggled a bit to make it work. Happy Happy! I also ordered the free 4G Sim card to test it for 6 months and I submitted the forms to get the 4 months reimbursement. Now, I would like to buy the new […]

Today I called my old internet provider, Orange, to cancel my subscription. The salesman thought I was talking about the 4G mobile offer so he explained to me why it was not true. The reality is that Bouygues has made so much noises about its 4G offer that everything else about Bouygues is being looked […]

Finally, the box is in my hand after 2 days wandering in the delivery system. The whole process was quite fast this time. We shall see if there is any problem today or tomorrow. The old provider connection went off yesterday, normally the new internet connection should be active anytime soon… we shall see.

After Diane’s wedding, we were playing in the garden and my cousin, Anne/Thao, jockingly said to her boyfriend who was teasing her about eating legumes from her dad’s garden: “You were indeed my plan-B to avoid eating my parents’ soup”. Looks like that all girls left da house after having a boyfriend: their exit ticket […]

I had fun playing WoW yesterday; The game is getting old and of course the new updates did not produce the same addictive effects like in the past. The server I am playing on is a bit empty nowadays so it is hard to fill in with people for 10-man raid games. We were only […]

The old lady in front of my house decided to put her Alzheimer husband in the hospital for 3 weeks. She warned him she would do it and finally she did it. Social Security will pay for this short term treatment. Financial considerations prevented her from doing it permanently she told me. Strange financial considerations […]

I applied to Bouygues, “da” new big deal of “da” month! 4 months reimbursed + 6 months free 4G trial (12 gb) + 100 euros to cancel with the old provider + 80 euros to buy new 4G devices! That sounds too good to let go so I jumped in. As soon as they have […]

I met a very kind german woman at the Institute of Soudure after my job interview a year and 3 months ago. She told me where the train station was on our way back. She has 3 kids and her husband happened to go to Notre Dame, the same university I went to in the […]
