Life at work...

Other things happened last week: a project leader that I liked was fired at my client company, without any notice. Actually she came in the morning as usual, started working, was told that she was fired, and left 15minutes later. And we're never going to see her again. That's quite sad, and really shocking when you see it.... Actually, you hear about it, but it's always more striking when you live it... People seems to not really care here... That's life...
By the way, here they don't say she was fired, or sacked or whatever: they say they "let her go"... An imaginative formula I think...

Everyone in the team made mistakes on the production server that week... I got a boss yelling at me... Quite an unpleasant experience... Felt very guilty and miserable for the following two days...

And Finally, yesterday, Elise and I went to the French Tuesdays for the second time. Unfortunately it was raining (the weather has been shitty for a while now), it was at the China club in midtown, a place which has a huge open air terrace and indoor space too... Met the usual folks (starting to know more and more people though) and had a good time. We even got interviewed by a reporter from France Inter (en français même), but we were quite intimidated by her huge red microphone ;-)
Q-"Do you come here everytime?"
A-"Err... Not really, it's only the second time"

Q-"So, with all the buzz bout French Tuesdays, Is this the place to be in New York on tuesday nights?"
A-"Errr... Yes... I don't know" ;

Q-"Have a good evening then!"
A-"Errr Yes, thanks you Errr..."

Elise wanted to say she'd appreciate these parties much more if there wasn't such a strict dress code "Business chic, jackets for men"....But she didn't dare, plus she hadn't noticed it wasn't France Inter...
