Oui OUi weeee

Aujourd'hui je ne peux pas suprimer mon désire de parler en Français... j'ai aucune idée pourquoi, mais, j'ai que des mots Français sur la langue et dans ma tête.

Tout tranquillement je prends l'habitude de mon trajet en autobus le matain. C'est facinant comment ça me prends une heure au complet pour me rendre ici ce n'est pas si loin que ça! C'est que le fait que c'est l'heure du point, c'est tout. Peu importe, je'n profiterias du temps pour reprendre a lire. Ahhh Il me faut des romans, peut être j'irias pendant mon lunch pour en achèter des nouvelles!

Mon Français écrit est vraiment pittoyable, je m'en sers presque jamais… Avec ma nouvelle poste ici, je suis repsonsable pour deux sites Françaises, ansi que des sites Bèlgues, Autrichien,Hongarien, Suèois, Norvègien, Hollandais et Polongeais.

Le reseau est en panne et pour un compagnie internet, ça veux dire qu’il a absolument rien a faire! Comme prevue l’autre jour, j’ai bien plus de temps a écrire maintenant…

Hier soir je suis allée souper avec Kim et sa copine Charlotte. Hazel et venue aussi, et nous étions alleés à notre resteau préferé Don Zoko près de la rue Carnaby. C’etait tellement bien de la voir. Elle était en bonne forme et plien d’esprit, elle avait meme chanter deux chansons Kareoke au Candy Bar. En éstit que j’étais saoule! Mon dieu, je ne me rends même pas compte comment on c’est rendu chez nous, ni comment j’ai monté les marches pour aller me coucher!

Ce soir c’est ma petite fête de depart pour mon ancien poste… un peu tard, je sais mais c’est la vie des fois. Je ne sais pas exatement comment je serais capable de boire même une verre… j’ai toujours la gueule de bois!

Ah bon. C’est tout, pour l’instant.

Why yes... it is a...

So apart from wearing my favourite trousers under the fleeting hope that they still fit me and clearly, do not... This day has gone alright so far. Note to self... never buy clothes after spending the 3 months previous, going to the gym for an hour every day... this does not allow room for lapse in fitness regime and the corresponding extra inches... Who am I fooling, It's a mystery still how I ever managed to slim down to the equivalent of a Canadian size 6! I shall resolve to pack them away without any hesitation, in wait for the next fitness blitz before ever trying to wear them again.

I had a really nice soup for lunch today from Mash (I'm always surprised how the place is actually a chain) We had one in Ottawa for goodness sake! Anyhoo, they served me up a great sweet potato, red pepper/ tomato soup today for lunch. It came with toasted cibatta too, all for the low low price of, 2£! Well I never! Mmm!

All our sites are currently down, so my afternoon site maintenance is now on hold (thus the reason for having time to blog)... Jeffie and Annick arrive on Friday, did I mention that? Will be nice to see them... although we have no furniture in our new flat, at least we have a futon for them to sleep on!

Impromptu meeting... more later

blogging time is certainly on the rise...

the bus took over and hour and a half this morning. it's unreal. I think I could have seriously walked faster.

I'm waiting for software installs so I can get started on working... it's all about waiting today.

It's really kind of neat here. I'm fascinated by the TV production area of this company and think that maybe if I'm a good girl one day I could be a TV producer instead of an Internet one. Who knows, I'm sure I'll probably learn about it and then run away screaming!

So, yea I just had the HR meeting that I was supposed to have yesterday but was cancelled due to an overflow interview thingie... Turns out that there is apparently a bar here on the ground floor that is being renovated. I jokingly asked the HR lady if people sing like on Ally McBeal.. To my shock horror, she said yes! Hello? I sincerely hope she was taking the piss! Regardless, it's quite funny really.

So my clackity keyboard is also a repository of filth. I can't imagine what's on it, but lets just say it's not pretty. I think I might just be the crazy new lady and wipe it down using some strong anti-bacterial wipe of sorts... trust me, it needs it!

So happy to hear that Jeffie and Annick are booked and due to arrive in London on Friday morning. Will be so nice to see them!

Best feign working a bit...

no doubt there will be more later...

well it seems like it's drawing closer and closer to the end of the first day here. My keyboard is indeed getting louder and I can't remember a day, where I've spoken so little, I think I've said about

15 ' excellents'
25 'sures'
20 'that's a good idea'
29 'greats'
3 'thank yous'
1 'I'm the silly new girl, how do you get out of here?'

beyond that it has been total silence... apart from at lunch when I went to buy a one month bus pass and the silly man was unable to listen to me as all requested a bus pass and he then proceeded to try and give me a 74£ tube pass... when he finally finished huffing and puffing he managed to forget that I needed it issued for tomorrow not today... dang you mr. ticket man!

so I'm wondering if it's possible for my keyboard to make louder clicking sounds when I type... or if I can stand this first day at new job feeling... My chronic yawning disorder has reared it's ugly head again... I think It must be all the silence that generally goes with corporate environments... I'm the quiet girl today, can't imagine that lasting for long.

My new desk is right next to the window which is nice. It looks right out onto Great Titchfield st. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't exhausted. Moving sure does take a lot out of you. Change is good but I've not experienced change this big since I moved to London a year ago. I'm sure by the end of the week I'll be so tired I'll just sleep all weekend long... Oh wait, Kim's in town so I guess that won't work!

Everyone here seems very nice, can't say I remember anyone's name yet... but I've always been lousy at that.... Mum and KJ sent me a lovely first day of work parcel. It was so sweet of them, they are truly too good to me!
