I bought my Toyota Yaris in 2012 for 8307 Euros. All the repairs and maintenance costs summed up to: 3151 Euros. So the Yaris cost me 11458 Euros for 8 years. It would probably cost the same if I bought a new car instead.
2012 achat=8307
2014 embrayage=1149
2014 pneus=567
2014 liquide refroidissant=79
2013 freins + entretiens=508
2017 pneus=256
2020 roulement A.D. + pneus=592
Total=11458

I arrived in Asmterdam at midnight due to a train delay of 55 minutes. I came back very late home the next day: 01:30 am due to the french strike. It was a hard week.

Today was one of these days where I needed full control, indeed, my perfect planned day was going south due to a stupid ass. I had plenty of opportunities to be a “nasty” engineer however I did not loose control. I made one single comment in an e-mail that showed how annoyed I was: “Dear all, a Managing Director is having his “usual visio” conf call in a room I reserved 2 weeks ago and he does not want to move”. The e-mail generated an earth quake and it contained all my anger. The managing director will be asked not to do it again. I know that this stupid ass tried to hijacked my plan last week. It was a like a Goliath vs David fight and he is losing it. He managed to annoy me though.

Without the strike in Paris, I would have followed the same path I took the last 4-6 years. I have learned new paths to move around Paris thanks the strike, even simpler and faster and more realiable. It seems that hard situations time to time is not a bad thing after all to get one out of his comfort zone and try different things.

Last year, I did not succeed in growing one of the hottest peppers from seeds to fruits (too late for the summer period): Carolina Reaper.
This year, I’ve decided to buy the dried version of Carolina Repear chillies, then extract the seeds from the dried chillies and grow the seeds right now so that the plants will be ready for the summer (and maybe produce fruits before newt winter).
I just wanted to be sure they are what they are supposed to be because I could not check from the seeds I bought last year.

The real meaning to my boring life is maybe the stress generated by these people. It kinda of keep my crazy mind so busy and tired that I do not have enough energy to waste it in useless and excentric thoughts. I do not dislike stress generated by urgent situations, I just hate it when I cannot cope with it by having a solution.

I will be back to Amsterdam next Thursday 16 for a very urgent project (like ALL of them). This time I could not book a flight, it was too expensive and I had to take a train.
