We are the 80's and the 90's

[castalie]

This 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 :-)

OMG, SUPERLOUSTIC!!!!! So many memories, dude! Heeeee!

And wow. 13 when The Bodyguard came out, uh? I just realized how freaking old I am because I was almost 18 at the time and totally swooning in front of that movie, lol.

And ok, so it's not funny because I realize how embarrassed I would have been if I'd ended an email to, say, the "inspecteur" with "bisous". *g* Still, I admit I laughed when I read that part. you need to sleeeeeeeep!

Hee toi aussi t'écoutais cette station ? Ma soeur et moi on était fan !! On avait même participé à un des jeux. On était passées à l'antenne et on avait même gagné un lot et tout !

Well, I just checked and the film came out in 1992 so I was twelve but, yeah, I was still in middle school :-)

Oh la la, sérieux, je suis restée bloquée sur le "bisous" à la fin du mail quand j'ai vu ça ce matin lol J'ai envoyé un mail pour rectifier le tir. On sait jamais ce que le type pourrait imaginer, tu sais ? *shakes head* Sérieux, faut que je me repose... *dit-elle encore debout au lieu d'être au lit !*

Hihi, je vais meme pas faire le calcul de Bodyguard, je prends pitié de vous ;)

Et oui je suis désolée pour toi et ta semaine horrible, mais j'en peux plus de rire à Bisous. En meme temps j'imagine envoyer ça à un prof ou mon directeur :S

Allez, vivement ce soir pour le début d'un week-end trop cool! :)

Tu prends pitié de Jem surtout parce que pour le moment, ça ne me traumatise pas plus que ça. On verra dans dix ans lol

j'en peux plus de rire à Bisous.

Y a plus de compassion de nos jours, c'est ça le problème !

Heureusement qu'on a eu notre weekend pour adoucir la semaine ; ça a vraiment fait du bien :-)

OMG this was such a beautifully random entry, I couldn't help but smile and giggle the whole way through. lol

I'd be embarrassed too if I "xx" or "bisous"-ed a boss or a coworker. You're just not that friendly!

I'm looking forward to the weekend too, so close I can taste it! My Wii arrived this afternoon so I know what I'll be doing a good chunk of the time!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

'Random' is my middle name, I think :-)

I couldn't believed the whole 'bisous' thing *facepalm*

So did you play the wii all weekend? Are you sore? ;-)

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

I played Wii for a few hours this weekend, not as much as I would've liked! The boy hurt his back so I was making sure he got massages throughout Saturday. *pats self on the back*

But from what I did play, I did get a bit sore in the arms! How sad! lol I was surprised how much I liked the boxing. Maybe I just like to punch digital people in the face!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ouch, it sucks for your boy, but at least he got free massages out of it, which is never a bad thing *g*

Lol I know the feeling. The first time I ever played wii I tried Badminton and my left arm hurt nicely the day after! And when we played Guitar Hero for basically a whole weekend, my wrist and fingers weren't thanking me! But it's just so much fun :-)

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

The funny thing is, he hurt his back moving his dog from one side of the bed to the other! lol Seriously, that beagle needs to lose a few pounds.

Nope, giving massages is always a good experience!

Badminton! Which game is that on? I've been having fun with tennis, but I'd love to try badminton.

Well, I'd laugh at poor J. but as it happens I screwed up my back when picking up my phone once and another time because I was coughing too much so, you know, I won't be laughing at him too hard ;-)

I don't really remember which game it was but IIRC it was the one that is given with the wii? The one with the bowling etc. It had all kinds of sports. I could ask my sister if you want.

Dude, you're all tough! I wouldn't dare give you grief!

Also, sorry, but your email mistake made me laugh a lot *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol No-one give me grief this morning so maybe you're right, I am tough! \o/

Dude, everyone's laughing at the 'bisous' thing, where's your compassion *pout*

[nicelyobsessed.livejournal.com]

You need your week-end very badly! (so do I lol)

BISOUS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I definitely needed for the weekend to come ASAP! And it was as awesome as I thought *g*

STOP MOCKING ME DUDE! You're so mean!

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

I'd ended the mail with the cute and friendly "bisous" *facepalm*

Oops, but if it's any consolation, it's easily done *hugs*!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lol That's sweet of you to say. Still, this week I'll be checking the way I finish my mail twice!
