TCLIF

And it is Friday again! I am quite sure it is similar in a lot of your offices, but in here, Friday has a special taste. And a special je ne sais quoi that really pisses me off. What is it? This bloody expression! Thank God It's Friday (aka TGIF)

- "Why is it annoying you Anne? Don't you think you are doing your ranting Frenchie never happy about anything crisis right now?"

- "Well, maybe, but what is the fuckin' point of getting happy about a day when you will have to come back to the job you don't like in two days?"

- "Yes Anne, it is quite true, but it makes people happy isn't it the more important?"

- "But what is the point with bloody God? What does God have to do with that?"

- "I don't know, it is just an expression"

- "Yeah, but if God was deciding upon our working days, we would be working 6 days a week, wouldn't we?"

- "What's your point?"

- "My point is that people thank an imaginary friend that has nothing to do with the fact that they work 5 days a week!"

- "Who should we thank then?"

- "That is a stupid question! The people who fought for our rights, who died under repression, the unions, the Popular Front!"

- "Isn't it a bit archaic?"

- "Archaic? When the EU wants to fix the limit at 65 working hours a week?"

- "Let's come back to TGIF. Do you want people to stop saying it?"

- "I would just like them to think about their luck of having Friday as their last day of the week. I think we should replace the expression. Let's say TCLIF"

- "What does that stand for?"

- "Thanks Comrades and Leon it's Friday!"

Return of the living dead

Helloooo! I am sorry to have abandonned you for so long, times have been hard. But I am back! and in a good form.

I know that we are supposed to make resolutions at the beginning of the year, but fuck it, I decided to do so at the end of July. I pretty much decided to give up everything that is useless, that costs me more than it brings me, things that bother me to embrace a new life. Here is the list of what I decided to give up:

- smoking (already started, 3 weeks tobacco free)
- flatmate (10 years of living with people is enough, I think I need my own space now)
- job
- worrying
- people I don't really care about

All those things are draining me, and I therefore don't to do any of this anymore. This is what I am going to do then (give me a good year to achieve all this):

- starting educations in bike mechanic, rider's lessons and web design. They are all very straightforward and practical, fed up with theoretical stuff, I want action!
- repairing the bikes and selling them for Rothar
- look for a smaller flat that is not going to cost me more than the current one but which will have central heating and a real shower
- going on with my psychoanalysis as it seems it is working on me so well! Those decisions wouldn't have been taken without counselling

In brief, I put words on stuff I've known for a long time. It is very soothing not to hesitate anymore, and I have learnt patience and I know that good things comes when one knows how to wait. More news soon!
