We are the 80's and the 90's
Jan. 14th, 2010 10:39 pmThis is a hell of a tiring week, I'm ecstatic that tomorrow is finally TGIF time! Work is hectic; I can't say it's stressful as such because - so far - every problem has been solved, but little problems keep piling up and solving them takes a lot of my energy and it's just hectic and mad and I cannot wait to be Tuesday when things should calm down a bit. I just need to keep my eyes open all day Monday and it'll be fine - schedule is gonna be 7.30 AM-7.30 PM. I'll be proctoring an exam from 8.00 AM to 9.00 AM and, man, I'm totally ready to smite the first student who even thinks of giving me grief. I'll be all "omg, I had to be at work at 7.30 AM on a Monday (which, as everyone knows, is the worst day of the week) because of your stupid exam (except I won't say it's 'stupid' since we're the ones behind it!) so BE NICE!"
Seriously, I'm making all kind of stupid mistakes because my brain is trying to do everything at once. Best mistake yet? If 'best' means 'kinda embarrassing'. You know how you sign, say, "love" or "xx" at the end of your mails to your friends/family? In France we use "bisous" (kisses). That's something really unformal and done between friends and family. Ok. I sent an email to someone concerning a software I'm using and that was screwed up and I Cc'ed said mail to a colleague of mine. This morning, she was all "hey, so you're on "bisous" basis with Mr L. now?" and I was like "o-O". She advised me to look at my message and, yes, instead of the formal "cordialement" I'd ended the mail with the cute and friendly "bisous" *facepalm*
I find it very funny whenever I write "kinK" instead of "king" in my litt papers but the "bisous" thing...well, it was just embarrassing.
Anyway. Hey! January is totally sponsored by Back to the Future. And in this case it's sponsored by Back to the 80's and 90's. I found out that Dorothée (French ref) is going to be at the Olympia in April! Dorothée! And I was talking about the Superloustic radio (another French ref, sorry) to my co-workers yesterday and I found this site and omg, insta!trip down memory lane!
Then tonight they're airing The Bodyguard and it was like another blast from the past - I had this very vivid flashback of thirteen-year-old!Sandrine, Gaëlle and me busy writing an oral presentation for our English class, sprawled in my living room, while I Will Alway Love You was blaring in the background. Tv, or the modern madeleine de Proust :-)
