The technician came and replaced a whole new screen for my TV which basically went from a single stripe to being dead in one week! the new screen brought it back to perfection now! The technician said that I should not worry because I have a full two years warranty.
I think that the technician was very happy when I told him that I would remove his phone number because I threatened to post every photo and defect on Internet to bring down the TV brand!

If I ever get the job from the “dick” interview… geeez, it means I was good!
The guy who asked the brutal questions was the director and I could feel the intensity of the exchange. I never let him get over my ground. He attacked and I hit back each time with the same intensity! I had to be close to madness to do such things:
Questions answers:
Him: Be short and present yourself!
Me: In less than 1 min, all my life and when I have finished: “Do you have questions because it seems that you already knew all the answers?”
Him: I only have doubts! Why didn’t you get the other jobs when you got interviewed? What were the reasons?
Me: I had 3 offers, one after 6 months and it was in Marseille, I was not ready to move yet. I had another offer but I declined because I was just some sort of secretary and one last one last week because they just told me that I was overqualified!
Me: What about you? What are your doubts?
Him: I have the same doubts they had…. blabla blabla!
Me: May I answer the first 2 doubts? Your job offer is so far the most interesting one and I would always ask myself if I would be better accepting your offer if I had both offers! I am the most practical person I know and I am not scared by anything or anyone … I do get down and dirty when it needs to but I need a reason for that: a reward… otherwise I will not stay with you! All your other doubts are not negative and they are just human and nobody has answers to them but GOD!
Me: I think that you are very busy, I have 2 questions for you now! You asked me if I would be willing to move somewhere in France … where ? You wanted me to scale down my salary expections .. what are you offering?
Him: We have different locations but we do not know yet about you! I only make an offer after I talk to the other person who interviewed you!
Me: That’s all then.. Thank you for your time!
Him: Let me accompany you back to the door!
Me: Thank you and I shook his hand!
If he thinks that madness is what I lack he got a proof that I lack none of his!

Nothing seemed to be working right this week:
1. a technician who was supposed to desinfect the building with chemicals did not come because he got stolen.
2. The one who should come and cut the grass never responded!
3. I had two of the strangest interviews in my life! I already got a negative answer from the nicest one. The dick ass one has not responded yet!
4. Two apartements got infiltration of water.
5. Someone blocked the water tap in the waste local to block another from using it.
I had to run all around and did not have time to geek or to enjoy anything. So I am shielding myself from anything annoying for the weekend and relax!

My brand new TV LG 55SJ810V had a large wide vertical stripe, luckily it is under warranty for 2 years. What annoyed me was that the stripe went away randomly meaning that it is perfect now! Anyways, a technician will come and replace a component after I sent in the proofs.

The weather forecast kept on predicting rain and thunderstorm that do not fall on our town. I am desperately waiting for both hopefully today or tomorrow night!
25 kms of biking today and a perfect 58 kgs!

I am so glad that English has become my main language because it would be a real limitation to use French to talk to people over the Internet.
People do not understand that I am communicating with other people from all over the world “LIVE”! It is like talking to your neighbour but through a screen or a channel or an app!

Relaxing evening with a jazz ambiance music on the sound bar as background, Blue planet on the huge TV, the Avengers on the small TV, WoW on the main screen and whatever left to surf on the internet on the right screen! Yeaaaa!
Malika came over to give me the traditional bread for ramadan:

I noticed that my uncle lost quite a few kgs and it is very good! It is probably one of the hardest thing to fight…the excess of weight! Keeping yourself fit and healthy.
Forcing myself to run these 10 kms every week helped tremendously!
