So my brother has decided to stop his newly and hardly obtained teaching position after …3 months and half (permanent civil job). For my brother, it is the exact same type of job that he has been trying for the last 6 years. He commonly admitted that it is not his passion and it is just a secondary job while he continues his online trading activities. The only regrettable thing is that he quit each time his job by himself, so that will leave him with no un-employment benefits or social security coverage.
I personally think he should try something else and look harder. He has all the diplomas needed but he doesn’t know how to sell himself. I succeeded since I changed completely my area of activities. I do not know if he will ever find enough courage to go out and fight for that.

No MoRe FeAR!
Filed Under Daily
6 months ago, when I entered my car or any car, I always had this little thing in my stomach called fear. I drove a lot in the US but after a long time without practice in Australia and back to France (maybe 5-6 years) , I did not feel comfortable. Now, it is much better. I have full control over my little Toyota Yaris and I am not afraid anymore. I just get in and drive as normal.
One week and half to go and I am on a permanent contract with the Institute of Soudure: Yea Yea Yea! It has been 2 weeks and half that I have not touched any kind of alcohol: Good Job to myself! I am just worried about my dormant Hepatitis B! I am sleeping much better nowadays. No more interruptions and I went to sleep quickly. No more worries.
My job is smoother now that the transition is almost over. I only deal with one kind of process, the new one that I have put in place myself so I know it by heart! The outsourcing of the project makes it so much easier to manage also. Let’s keep fingers crossed! Normally it should be fine since everybody wants its success anyways so a lot of goodwill from everyone.

Nice Week!
Filed Under Daily
Let’s start with a nice song:
Try by Pink
On Tuesday, I attended a conference about Sharepoint 2013. It was interesting. The conference ended earlier than expected so I spent the rest of the afternoon shopping around (not buying anything though).
On Wednesday, I had to go to the tax office. They simply forgot my online application and even though I’ve sent the paperwork after by mail, nobody seemed interested. Anyways I hope that it will be fixed because I do need the tax forms for next year.
I finished most of the boring work and everything seems rolling. With this new process in place, I will have less boring work to do but more managing work. I prefer managing people, it is very complex and usually never ends up exactly the way you want but it is the most satisfying and rewarding work I found.
Weekend! Yea Yea Yea!

My very first french speeding ticket: 117 km/h excess on a 110 km/h road.
45 Euros since I paid it on internet right away and one single point lost. I can recover it in 6 months without any new ticket during that time.

GeEz! Old!
Filed Under Daily
Last Saturday, I carried heavy bags of water improperly and my back was blocked for 3 days. Monday was horrible. I could barely move my legs but I managed to work and other stuff. I am feeling much better but this is the first time that it has happened to me. I should be careful because it is very annoying. I am getting old these days.
Of course, there is this business of finding an apartment. I really wanted to push towards buying a place but I doubt I will be that lucky: finding something suitable and of course getting the bank approval. I do not even want to mention the atmosphere at home….Maybe we are the type of people who look for conflicts and we will never be happy. I am not sure I really look for happiness but I just want a quiet place. What really bothers me is to know with certainty that every 3 weeks I will have to endure a fight.

Hum ! AnGer anger!
Filed Under Daily
I am so angry right now about all this. Do not know what to think.
I personally think it was a mistake to go back. 10 years ago I have made the smartest choice of my life, go away as far as possible from my family. I did put an ocean between us. Then I got old and nostalgic.
None of us has changed. NOt a BIt!

Alright! MOviNg oUt!

Time to go! Final decision and no return, hopefully no regrets! I’ve had enough. It is not natural to live with your old folks anyway. I have given myself enough time to relax from my last crisis. This is a decision from a clear mind.
To admit the truth, I need fresh air. So 6 months renting then I will try to buy a condo or a studio near where I work.
