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*!

Seems an interesting job, are you working the all summer ? As for the fiscalese, i can understand what you mean, i'm working in the insurance business and i'm somtimes a bit... lost *g*

Also, you know what? I'm back for good! just connected my freebox! Cheers!

congratulations Mouse, and good luck with the new job.

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!

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

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::

*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)

*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*
