We are still stuck in Paris. This week for the first time the weather actually took a turn for the worst. It is now grey and rainy. The perfect weather to announce that once again THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN POSTPONED. So the June 16th date I was looking forward to with joy and happiness is now completely irrelevant. This is soooo damn annoying. The only good thing is that because we got the last plane ticket at the last damn minute, it can't be changed. So I am going to leave here on a 15hour flight to stay in LA for 4 days and then fly back to Paris. And while in LA I am flying to Arizona [that's going to make this trip very interesting.] The deadline you ask? That's June 30th-ish. 22 days from now.
The most RIDICULOUS thing that keeps happening to me
OMG, I haven't even finished writing this post that the deadline has slipped again ... To July 19th. What the hell is going on here! 37 days left.
The countdown is going up!
Slave
I am also maxed out on vacation hour accumulation which means that for the past month, every hour of PTO I could be getting is actually going to the trash since I can no longer add it to the count. And since I have been on a deadline for almost 6 months now, I haven't been able to take a vacation. What a fucking cluster fuck.
Slaving away.
Bad Vibes
We started working out with a group called Urban Challenge. We got a trainer to come over once a week and we workout for one hour outside. People here are not used to seeing anyone workout. We get comments, yells, people running around following us and then today we got yogurt thrown at us from an anonymous source. The French are weird and annoying.
Paris Life
In the metro, the guys and I are finally in agreement with some of the more common smells we have found in certain area. We've identified the smell on the RER at the Auber station ... vomit. We have identified the smell down the street around the corner from our office ... old urine. And although it is not unanimous, we've also identified the smell at the entrance of the building we are working in ... old diaper with a touch of vomit. We will continue to identify those seemingly permanent smells are we discuss it and I will update this post with the latest.
So called TV watching
I managed to reconnect my television for remote viewing except that the season is over for most of the shows. I had another one of those "missed it" moments. I still got 23 episodes of SGU to watch. Loving this situation. I did however enjoy watching Ice Road Truckers and Deadliest Catch this week. Sweet.
Countdown (Going up)
There are 37 days left. That also happens to be the amount of ingredients inside twinkies [sampling below].
