Another semi-rl post: as of yesterday morning, I'm an employee at the Hôtel des Finances - for the summer, that is. Fear me for I can mess with your taxes and make your lives a living hell, yo! Except not so much considering I'm sort of at reception... but it had an evil a nice ring to it *cough* Speaking of hell, that's how it felt at first cause those people? Don't speak French! They speak fiscalese [for the non Frenglish, that's the language of taxes and finances and all] and it's gibberish. Try helping people when you don't even understand what they want! So I had - still have - a whole list of weird terms to learn and a gazillion different situations to memorise to be able to direct those people properly - though by the end of the day, it already felt better. Definitely not the end of the world, but still intimidating, you know? Btw, I already have a favourite department, namely the cadastre one *clings*

Anyway, it'll be okay - besides, my friend Juliette happens to work over there so that's just lovely *g* And technically, I'm also learning lots of practical things that will serve me all through my life, so all in all, it's good. Also, moneymoneymoney!

But now, I just have one thing in mind - well, several but all net related: catch up with my flist and reply to comments first [I missed you today, guys! I mean, they don't even have internet over there! They do have that stupid intranet but that's all! I can't even update from work like lots of you bad employees lucky people do *pout*] and then read some fics - cause see, on my way home, I thought of that guy who yelled at me and I was like, some people suck, then bam! I had that image of Blair on his knees sucking Jim and pfew *fans self* Then I thought of that other guy who told me I had a beautiful smile and I was like, thank God for decent and nice people and this time I was thinking of sweet domestic scenes with Jim and Blair - for no reason, obviously, but that's how I felt - and just yeah, I need to read some Jim/Blair now lol

I also had a craving for some Numb3rs episode but I think that has to do with all the numbers and mathematics I heard about today... or maybe it just has to do with the fact that if I don't watch Numb3rs at least once a week, I go into withdrawal *ponders*

And they're airing Fullmetal Alchemist again, wheee!

Yay! Congratulations on the job, hun *twirls you*! I hope you are able to learn fiscalese quickly ^_~! But no internet access sucks!

And they're airing Fullmetal Alchemist again, wheee!

You lucky thing! I really must start buying the DVDs *nods*!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks *g* And just when I was starting to get used to my job, they're sending me to another department. I'm like, do you really know what to do with me? Whatever man, as you long as you pay me at the end... I think I'll navigate between reception and what we call CDI - note the 'we' lol - during those two months.

Dude! I'm still waiting for them to release the DVDs over there. They were supposed to do it by the end of May and we're still waiting!

No internet! I'm feeling a little faint here.

But congratulations on the job! That's fantastic.

I love how you worked Jim and Blair into your journey home, great job!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

No internet. Dude! Isn't that against the geneva convention or something? *blink*

Thanks, I'm quite happy with the idea of getting money and all lol

Thanks again, I'm quite proud on that J/B thing too *eg*

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Congrats on the job! I hope it goes well and you'll find the time for your regular dose of fanfic and series! *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Thanks *g* I think I'll use the weekend to really catch up with everything *g*

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

A working girl? *Mwwwah!* But zis ees fantastique!

For the most part I work with really great people, but if I try reeely hard, perhaps I, too, can think of someone who sucks, so that delightful image you describe will pop into *my* head. hmmmm....I don't think I've ever written such a scene. ::ponders this::

Thinking of people who suck so that this image pop into your head is really important *nodnod*

hmmmm...I don't think I've ever written such a scene. ::ponders this::

Ponder no more and write it, eeeek! Also, will you post my bday fic on your LJ and all? And by all I'm thinking 852 Prospect, of course, but let's just focus on LJ for now. You didn't do it yet, did you?

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

You didn't do it yet, did you?

No...I didn't. Still no title. And it's *yours*, so I was giving you some time alone with it. *BG*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ah yes, the title... well, as long as it's on LJ, it can remain titleless, and I'm sure after other people have read it, some good - inspired - souls will find one that fit *g*

Also, I definitely appreciate the Time Alone with my story, but I think it's time to share it with the masses now *looks all solemn and stuff* Fics that good... need to be shared with the multitude, believe me! Just don't forget to say it was mine first [/brat] *cough*

*points and laugh* tu travailles aux impots! LOL!

I hope you'll survive the summer job! and what useful stuff are you learning? (fyi, I completely suck at filling my taxes, in case you hadn't guessed yet)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Je suis traumatisée, arrête! lol Etre entirée de fonctionnaires, c'est déjà difficule mais les impôts? *dies*!

J'apprends tous les termes de fiscalités et les différents services qui s'occupent de ces trucs là, je sais qui fait quoi et tout et tout...

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

en meme temps tu peux corrompre tout le systeme depuis ton boulot *giggles*

*admirative* moi qui ait toujours a reflechir avec d'utiliser les termes 'salaire brut/net' lol

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Avec mon nouveau vocabulaire, je me la pète et tout, hein lol

*rattrape sa flist*

Fiscalese, haha, very nice way to put it. This kind of jargon is always a translator's nightmare.

I'm happy you found a summer job, it's always good to have extra monney, even if you work in the most hated department in the country. *g*
Les contrôleurs des impôts sont nos amis, ils faut les aimer aussi

[castalie.livejournal.com]

*rattrape ses comments*

I'm starting to get into fiscalese, go me!

I'm thinking it's kind of ironical, but in a funny way. Like les impôts vont me devoir de l'argent à moi, ah! lol
