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*!

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!
