I did not get the free smartwatch Samsung :-(. Another time!
I did get another nice deal with Groupon and Fortuneo online banking: 80 Euros cash + 80 Euros credits on Groupon. Let’s see how this deal goes. I would like to get the Gold Mastercard as well because there is a lot of insurances linked to that type of cards and it has no restrictions on withdrawals.

I wanted to fix so many little things in the building. I sent out very angry emails and I set up deadlines to everyone. In the end, I got what I wanted of course and I realized how harsh I was with everyone.
My conditions were so simple:
1. Mow the lawn on Saturday or sooner and get rid of weeds.
2. Leave the bushes and try to let them grow higher
and the full year contract would be granted.
I met 7 companies and they just made me wait. The only company that did what I wanted did it for free on Saturday. They got the contract and it will be a long time contract.
I was a bit sad because one dude sent me his contract today and he tried to cut the price by half. He would have got the contract right away if he had the time to send me the contract. It was not the price but the time that was precious to me.
So he lost the small contract of 3495 euros for a full year just because he did not have time to come and fix the lawn for 140 euros!

My studio is spotless and perfectly clean. Nothing has changed since the first day I moved in besides the additional screens. I want this studio to remain perfectly ordered and empty because it gives me a feeling of “volume”.

I went back to the “couscous dude” and his wife to offer them some water melon because I cannot finish it alone. I learned pieces of their life while trying to fix their Youtube.
In summary: A divorced troubled Algerian woman with a baby boy from an “arranged wedding” with a jobless husband (from Algeria) who smokes marijuana. I really wish the best for the baby boy because he is the “solution” they found to get through their problems, the unlucky woman and her problematic husband.
The “Youtube problem” seems to me so meaningless compared to the rest and I really have no strength to deal with their real problems. If I was her, I would get rid of the problematic husband first!

I noticed this annoying phenomenon many times. Whenever I use another computer than mine I never get the same list of results even though I used the same keywords. I already knew it was due to cookies and language settings, etc … ( I prefer google.com instead of google.fr). Nowadays I get tons of ads due to my browsing also. It is so annoying.
The cookies narrowed my own choices and ads are so annoying. I’ll stop using Google and replace it with QWANT:

I am really tired of ads and “oriented” links. I want to be free from google and I want my results to be rich and neutral!

A poor dude from the building wanted to talk to me but I was busy with someone else. He came back later and explained to me his problem. He said that he was surprised to find out that he had to pay the rental charges.
I explained to him that, from my understanding, everyone had to pay rental charges but he replied saying that “they” told him differently. I simply asked him to show me his contract. He thanked me and promised to come back with the contract.
I like the old man and I simply told him that only written contracts matter in this country.

I helped another family in the building with a neighborhood’s problem type (dog’s poo). I had the chance to visit their place and I was really impressed. I thought they were chaotic and everything but I was really wrong. Their apartment was really beautiful and extremely well organised. They are from Tunisia with Caucasian type.
Geez! My apartment looks like an empty box compared to theirs!

A stinky Vietnamese pickle forced me to clean the whole refrigerator. Very annoying but it is done! It had to be cleaned someday anyways because of the accumulation of ice inside.
I met the “couscous” dude and his wife on the train yesterday on my way to Paris for my Vietnamese sandwich. They asked me all kind of questions related to finding work as cleaner, fill out an online application for a new place and the update of Youtube on their TV. They were very surprised to know that I only pay 2 euros per month for internet. They sure will ask me some more questions in the future.
Today, I finally understood the problem with intruders going to the roof of our building. I will have to buy some lockers and prevent the access to the roof. I was wrong thinking that people inside did that. Maybe their friends. It seems also that these intruders tried to remove the magnetic plate of automatic entrance door to gain easy access.
