| Bored At Work~ |
|
We're in between two seasons. Just after the opening of the Cruise 06 market and the beginning of the Spring 07 styles in the system. There's hardly enough work to keep me busy the whole morning. Depressing. Days are long! I'm a bit worried about the coming season, though. It's a big one. And I will have the pricing to do... around 16 currencies for who-knows-many-styles (let's hope less than 800). Right! Anyway... Without noticing, I've started to keep my hands busy the old way... Back to my school days! Drawings everywhere!  Makes me feel younger. Arh, arh, arh! Tuesday, back to work... "Not even tired!" (riiight)  Wednesday... Inactivity is kicking

| Evolution~ |
|
Yesterday, I was having lunch with two of my colleagues and we ended up talking about evolution (we're not that profound usually). At some point, I was saying that the human being was weakening the human species with the help of all the new technologies he came up with thanks to evolution. I let you imagine the reaction of said colleagues. We are what we are thanks to natural selection. The weak die, the strong survive. Now that we have this huge brain (that we hardly use to full potential), science, medicine and research make it possible for the weak to live and reproduce. The human species is getting weaker and weaker. Yet, we made the choice to have a consciousness and a sense of ethic and we even invented the great 'politically correct' concept which does not allow us to let the weak die or say things like I just said. What I said is wroooong! Bad girl! Bad! I am not saying we should let weak/sick people die for the sake of natural selection. I do have a consciousness and ethic and I wouldn't want anyone to die. But at the same time... you got to wonder about the future of our species.

| I Tried For You~ |
|
The red wine bath! No, I did not empty a dozen red wine bottles in my bath tube. I used one of the many bath thingies I brought back from my last trip in Japan. Actually, I bought the red wine one for my grandpa, I thought it would be funny. Obviously, once you get to a certain age, you loose interest for new little experiences. I found the thing in a drawer of things-to-give-away during my last stay at their place. So I took it back with me when I left. [Note to self: Never buy any souvenir even again... It's wasting money you could be spending for yourself. Just send postcards.]  This is not a drink...  Want to dive in? I felt I was bathing in grape juice... less the stickiness. It wasn't bad, really. I spend an hour relaxing in that pinkish warm water. It felt good. But... I want a refund! There was no alcohol in that bath! What a deception!

| Got To Love My Country~ |
|
Switzerland is well known for its tidiness and cleanliness (not including Geneva, this is the exception) but I never thought it was to that extend! They are preparing the ground for a building in front of my working place. We have a show each time we go to the kitchen. Well... Imagine a dance of a dozen big trucks carrying mud across the city. In how many countries would two guys with big hoses be cleaning the trucks' 12 wheals before they get on the road? They even caved this little cleaning pound for the trucks to soak their muddy wheals while the two other guys are watering them. The other day, when the sun was shining and the earth was dry there was a guy watering the ground so there wouldn't be too much dust going on the road. Switzerland is an amazing country.  And yes... That's as much excitement as I get these days. ^^ Currently feeling: proud |

| Honesty Pays It Seems~ |
|
Yesterday evening, I went for some groceries. I was in the line to check out when I noticed a dirty plastic bag on one of the grocery store's basket near the cash register. The dirty plastic bag was containing coins so I grabbed it to be sure and gave it to the cashier. The old man who was paying at the same time recognized the bag as his. He was happy/surprised I brought it back. He gave me a CHF 20.- bill (US$16). o_O There wasn't even 20.- worth in the plastic bag! I tried to give it back but he wouldn't listen. I put the bill in my car as a souvenir.

| Giving Up~ |
|
I have this feeling I've been spending a lot of time on some people trying to understand them. Wasting would be a more appropriate term. Literally... I wasted time on people. And for what? At the end, I only get misunderstanding, stubbornness, closed doors and incomprehension. Family, friends, Internet, work... everywhere. So at the end, I should come to the conclusion that maybe the problem is me. But I'm not sure of that. I said before that I would stop killing brain cells over sh1t like this but living in society, I always end up at that stage. I'm getting a bit tired. I'm at that moment where I only want to disconnect and not think about others. Live my life with no social implication. I would like to be able to do that. I just can't. I was said to be too kind... I'm not sure. Maybe I'm just weak. I'm clueless. Again. But I decided I will stop going after people. It's getting pathetic and I don't like to be pathetic. They all know where to find me. I'm done for now. I give up.

| New Layout~ |
|
There, I was getting tired of the old one and needed some changes. I didn't spend that much time on it and I'm not sure I won't get fed up in two weeks. It is not yet finalized, I still need to fix a few things but I didn't feel like waiting. I'll see that tonight.

| From Belgium~ |
|
Hi there ! Yes, I'm in Belgium - I will pretend wou care - and I'm writting this from an Azerty keyboard... Highly frustrating to be forced to look at my fingers while typing. The weather is sh1t but I really don't care, I didn't come for that. I took the road on Thursday morning, I arrived eight hours later, went to meet up with some people in a bar/karaoke thing, started to drink to bear with the annoying people singing... Worked wonder. I can't remember a thing! Or so little. I am told weird things by people I was with, things I may have done... but I chose to think they are making them up. u_u I am innocent! The extended weekend is not over yet. Going out tonight... To be continued... PS: As usual, no hangover.
