I have been playing WoW all days and nights the last 2 weeks. I joined a guild and I had to catch up since I could not connect the first 2 weeks. I am almost at their level now but then I got hooked up into trading in the game. I generated lots of gold doing nothing else than buying and selling in the auction house. It is a very addictive game because it is so easy to make money from other’s work :). All I did was buying card and selling the trinket generated from these cards at a higher price!
In some ways, I helped the game making things cheaper and correcting any excess.

There were two cars parked for ever in front of the building and they blocked all other cars. I tried to remove them so that we recover two nice spots and therefore there will be less cars parked anywhere inside. After a month of hard work (calling the police every week), they were finally removed. Why did I do it? I noticed that chaos will spread if there is nothing done to fix it. It does not matter if it is someone’s chaos, it will eventually be my problem if they keep on parking their cars inside.

Last week was fantastic! I slept, practiced some sport, played WoW and slept again!
I love these vacation at the end of the year and I will try to do the same thing next year.

I observed a new white couple who joined the building. The couple seems lost in life but they have 3 kids: 2 boys and 1 girl. The man works as a furniture remover. They have an ugly brown dog (another ugly dog in da building). I noticed the woman and her 2 boys quite often at the bus station: Young tall woman but wasted by life.
I asked myself why she had 3 kids when life was already difficult for them.
The first answer was obvious: the french social system helps family with kids so better have 3 than 2!
The second answer is less obvious but it was logical: when you are poor and you have nothing to live for with your partner, kids are THE BOND that holds them together. They would break apart without their kids!

Today was the helpdesk day in my building:
1. A black dude in da building came and asked me about the rejection of his residency request. I read the rejection letter and I told him that there is not much to do besides appeal the decision. I told him that the person who reviewed his case did not believe what he told them. I told him that he should talk to people who are like him (same country and same case). I tried to trigger a serie of questions for him but I am not sure he understood what I said.
2. Malika came with her BBox and asked me if she needed a phone to have internet. I went to her apartment and set up internet for her. She asked me if I like champagne and she would offer me one bottle. Funny little woman! She knows that I can solve any technical issue she might encounter. She does not know anything about internet and all she wanted was internet access through WIFI for her smartphone and tablet. I only did what she asked me to do but I told her that she has the possibility to do more with the BBox.
3. The pretty chick in building B came and asked me if I had a Iphone 5 cable. I do not have one.
Funny day! Not sure that I really helped but I think that they are happy talking to someone.

Following my blood tests, I realized that I lack vitamin D and the doctor prescribed me some. I also told him about my neck aches that would not go away. He simply suggested a lack of magnesium as well. I bought some of these magnesium supplements. The tension in the neck disappeared over 2 days. My diet is not providing me with the normal supply of vitamins and ions I should have daily.
Anyways, I will add these extra vitamins/ions supplements to my diet. The solution was so simple that I cannot believe it but the effect was fast and very effective.

I am thinking about buying the same studio but elsewhere: same price but better location and maybe better neighbors. My current neighbors are too poor and their struggle with life do not leave them time to think about anything else. I like some of my neighbors but I think that some of them are potentially dangerous and others are destructive.

At 9 am, I dropped my car at the repair shop then I took the bus back to go to see the doctor at 10 am. I was 10 min late and I had to run. The medical center was not as close as I thought it would be. At least, I know that I could run again!
On my way back home, I realised that my apartment keys were left at the repair shop. It was a sad rainy day and I was cold and wet on my way back and forth to recover my apartment keys. I was starving.
Then I thought I should finish everything and took an apointment with the podiatrist so that I can have the special soles adapted to my kind of feet. I called and made an apointment for 19:30 the same day.
I returned to the garage at 18:00. I was happy that the car was ready, however, at the cashier, my credit card was declined. I went over the payment limit for this week. The lady suggested that I withdrew some money at the ATM to see if it would help. I was so releaved that it worked (250 Euros in cash and 900 Euros on the credit card).
Very stressfull day!
