May. 22nd, 2008 11:34 amHappy Birthday
simply_fly_away! Here's to a happy and fantastic day *cheers*
The software I use for most part of my job is on strike this morning... Not that I'm heartbroken over the fact but it does give me a valid reason to take a break and sneak in on LJ. Actually, seeing that many people I need to call are on a real strike today and those who aren't on strike are always 'out of their office for the moment', I'm not exactly overworked right this minute. Thank God for internet because after a while I'd get bored out of my mind.
Oh, hey, have you seen? Seems like the first spoilers for s4 have started already? I'm torn, seriously. On the one hand, I still believe being spoiler-free is all kinds of awesome, on the other - and seeing how 3x16 ended - it would maybe help my sanity to just have an inkling of what could happen in s4... except it might make things worse? Or not. Eek I don't know omg! I guess I'll just keep ignoring the spoilers... and wishing I wasn't a spoiler-free kinda fangirl.
Ohhh the coffee machine guy is here! I'll be able to get my cappuccino again; he's my hero! Actually, he is my hero because he's also into traditional medicine; he heals with his hands. And when he can't heal, he soothes the pain away. He's a great and interesting guy. Come to think of it, I totally should ask him about my back...
Anyway, am digressing. No wait, still on a RL note, I'm still waiting for a) my goddaughter to arrive - anytime soon but so far she's good where she is so... and b) for the Sorbonne to call me, though I know there's still a week to go but I'd love to know now because see, someone else offered me a job. It's an interesting job but it's half-time and for three months only, so I'd say 'yes' only if I didn't have anything more interesting financially elsewhere. Meaning I need to know about b before I can say anything to the woman.
I was sure I would get that kind of offer... it's a sort of universal law, isn't it? For months you'll be waiting for a positive answer and once you get a job interview, you have another offer. Now the one thing that might cause a problem is the timing. I'd hate to lose both offers because of it.. I think I'll just wait a couple more days - I'm well within the deadlines - and then I'll call people and ask around. Take things in hands as much as I can *nods*

That's typical about the jobs. Still, it does show that people want to employ you, as they should, and that has to be a nice ego boost.

Date: 2008-05-22 10:12 am (UTC)He's really cool, he helped my grandmother when she was hurting so much because of her cancer. He couldn't heal her obviously, but he did help with the pain. I'll ask him next time I see him.
It is a nice ego boost, you're right. And it came at the right time because I was feeling a bit down lately. Well, I've been feeling much better since I started working again but you know what I mean. I just hope I won't end up with nothing even though I had two offers. Would be quite ironic. And so damn annoying too! Though I know I'll be able to keep working her till at least September, so it's not as if I found myself unemployed for real.
Things are good right now. Could be better but 'good' is pretty nice too :-)

Date: 2008-05-23 09:59 am (UTC)J'arrête pas de me demander ce qui va se passer dans l'épisode 4x01... mince, j'ai tellement hâte !
J'ai un lien à te donner pour d'éventuels spoilers donc je te le donnerai et tu me diras ? Ne serait-ce que pour me dire de me préparer psychologiquement à quelque chose qui me ferait de la peine ?
Hee mais pourquoi je me pose tous ces problèmes fannish lol

They totally can't get rid of him - plus, it would have been all over the fandom - but he could be cruel and make us wait a little for him... Kripke is the kind of genius bastard who could do that, when you think of it lol

Good luck with the job offers!

Date: 2008-05-26 09:27 am (UTC)What I usually do is send Babycakes to read the spoilers and she tells me if it's safe to read or not; and if it's the latter she'll give me hints so that I'm not spoiled at all but I can at least prepare myself for something that might make me cry.
Thanks :-)
