So I got a speeding ticket: 45 Euros and minus 1 point! 134 kms above the 130 kms/h limit.
I bought the flu vaccin and shot myself. It was surprisingly pleasant to do something that might hurt but in the end it was very smooth and I did not feel much of the pain.

I re-installed my computer and I forgot I had the photos on the main drive so I deleted all pictures I took during the wedding. So if one of my cousin can send again my files to this ftp that would be great:
ftp client: Filezilla
Hôte (IP Address): 5.50.44.153
Port: 21
Identifiant: oubli

Filed Under Daily
1. A permanent contract
2. A decent salary that allows me to buy high-tech stuffs and games.
3. A Car, fully paid for!
4. A new studio to move in next year! (3 months to go). The studio is only 15 min from work!
5. Nice neighbors to talk to
Now what next in da TODO list:
6. Learn to dance properly
7. Maybe use a bike to go to work next year!
8. Maybe a better job with a higher salary!
9. Think about places I would like to go for vacation. I do not really want to leave France. A road trip around France would be cool for next year. I need fast internet so hopefully the 4G offer will be available by then and it would cover 90% of France.

Finally, I am officially the owner of my studio. The final paper has been signed today. Let’s keep fingers crossed and hopefully I will move in on time and with no bad surprises after. Geez! that was a really long process but I got to see the end of it.

Today I called and asked my solicitor how things went for the studio. Indeed, I have given the solicitor the right to sign the final act on my name
I was very displeased to learn that a missing document prevented the seller’s solicitor to sign. It was the proof by mail that I have received the contract offer. I immediatly called everybody and asked why this document was missing. I did not accept any excuses from any of them and requested a financial compensation. I threatened all of them to retrieve the contract and requested all money to be sent back to the banks tomorrow.
That worked! The seller has accepted to pay all banking interests! I requested the solicitor a solution and also to be called today. She did and I told on the phone that she did a very poor job and that I would like to get rid of her. She defended herself but had to acknowledge that something was not right. I told her that if she had some pride she should resign and not asking for money for a job she did not do! She had to send an apology at 7 pm. I really wanted to kick her out but there is no garranty I would get a better person.
Anyways they all knew what I felt and they were extremely surprised to see a determined person negociating a contract. I was indeed ready to withdraw 131 000 euros!

All people living in the building stopped by to ask where I was yesterday when they saw lights in my studio. The protection in front of my window was down for a week and they thought something happened. The old lady thought I would come back yesterday also. The lawn has grown nicely.

Happy to be home! I hate traveling but I survived my week alone. The taxi driver was unhappy when I told him where I live. I asked him if he wants me to take another taxi, he then explained to me that I live too close and he had to wait 2 hours just for a short drive. I immediately told him that I would give him 45 Euros anyways since I do not care and it is my company that pays. That changed his mood right away. He had 17 euros as tip out of 28 euros!
I was a bit surprised to see a huge moving truck outside my building. Looks like the Senegal bro/sis got kicked and they finally moved. Dunno how I should feel! They were quiet most of the time. There was a very strong musky smell that came out of their apartment. I always wonder what it was, like some typical perfume from Senegal. If they continue not paying their rent someone will have to because there are general charges (trash/cleaning) for the common areas and I think it will be the other residents who will have to pay the gap.

As soon as I arrived to the Hotel, I asked about internet and of course they made you pay for a huge amount: 20 euros per day! Then I went to check for other options, my phone company switched to a local provider that charged about the same amount as the hotel per Mb.
I first paid 10 Euros for a pay-as-you go sim card that does not allow my iphone to share its internet connection. Then I paid for a 3G USB key (30 euros) and I recharged it for 35 euros for 7.5 Gb. Total cost: 75 Euros.
I hate places with no free internet at fast speed and free of charge. Anyways, from my experience I immediatly knew what to do to fix this internet problem.
