Dream job

When people talk about their work we always hear about the same things.

They love their job or they hate their jobs.
They make good money so they'll keep it.
They are underpaid but keep it for the people.

Some go to school for years to get a carreer that they might hate once they get in the profession itself.
Some dont have any education and get lucky.
Some are contente with what they have.
Some just complain all the time.

The people that say they love their jobs, I can understand it might be true, but is it their dream job?

Have you ever taken the time to analyse what you really love, how much money you'd really like to make (realistically), what is the perfect environment, who are the greatest coworkers, who is the perfect boss? Would you be able to live with this dream job so life wouldnt turn into a nightmare?

I've been doing alot of thinking and I still think I have more to do.
I realize that things I really like to ,that I've already done in the past without getting paid, I could maybe do and make myself a career out of it.

Can I find my dream job?

Troops

One year ago, I was involved with all my heart in supporting the troops.
Each time the news was on my heart would tighten up.
Each time a solider was killed I cried.
Today I don’t even react when there is another death.
Is it because I do not know anybody over there anymore?
Is it because to a point you have to become impartial?
It is a terrible mission that not enough people are informed about what is really going on over there.
Yet it doesn’t affect me anymore, what happened?

Premier cours

Ce soir mon amoureux s'en va à l'école.
J'espère que la maitresse sera gentille avec lui et qu'il se fera de petit amis.

Bar Chez Maurice

Last night I went out with my friend Dominique to the Bar Chez Maurice.
This is the bar where I use to go out all the time when I turned 18.
Every Thursday night they host stand up comedy ''Les drôles de Jeudi''.
I hadn't been to that place in about 6 or 7 years I think.
Damn things have change. They redid the set up of the entire building.
It is now a very nice place, compared to what it was, I was impressed.
But I felt very very old when girls in the lineup behind us talked about if their friends would get in with their fake ID.

Another purse

I had it in the corner of my mind for a couple of days.
I finaly decided to go get it last night, but the cashier put the wrong one in the bag.
So tonight I had to go exchange it.
I now can add another purse to my collection.

Payback AirTransat

Today in the mail I got letter from Air Transat.
No real appologies and nothing to do with the complaint letter I wrote.
Just a small compensasion of 200$ for each one of us.
Yay! I am richer :)
But I am still waiting for an appology letter after the complaint I wrote.
This 200$ (X2) is just from the form they had us fill out on the plane.
So lets wait and see.

Dairy Queen

I just ate my first official DQ of the season :)

Allergy test

This morning I went to see an allergist.
I have been sneezing for over a year, and I wanted to confirm what it was.

So almost 3 hours later I found out I was allergic to:

-Cats
-Grass
-Mildew
-Pennecelline
-Dust mites

So no more sleeping with Tyler and lots more of cleaning.

Air Transat and airports

When we left Montreal we got to the airport and our flight was delayed 4 hours.
The plane was suppose to leave at 5 pm and left at 9pm even if the plane was parked right in our face since 6pm. All of that because of the Montreal airport rules of no landing after 2 am. They gave us food coupons to eat, which was nice of them. So we spent 7 hous at the airport before the flight took off. So far not so bad.

When we tried to leave Cuba it got terrible. We left the hotel at 6pm. Our flight out was at 9h55 pm. AT 9h45 we still hadent borded the plane. At 10pm the pilot showed up telling us there was a minor problem with the plane, that the air transat mechanics was flying in from Varadero, which was a 30 minutes flight and that we could then take off.
At 11h30 pilot came to see us again, the pilot from the crew in Varadero was not aloud to take an international flight to make a local flight. So they tried to find a local plane to fly in the mechanics.
At 2h30 am pilot came to see us again. They found a plane but no pilot to fly it, mechanics had now taken the road on land to come, which is a 9 hour drive. So the air line decided to fly in another plane from Montreal for us. But because of the 2 am rule in MOntreal the plane could leave Montreal at 7 am, so we would be able to leave Cuba at 11h30 am.
They fed us chep food, sandwich's with dry bread and a slice of hame no butter or mustard. There was no one at the airport who spoke english or french, we had no one to ask question to, no internet acces and no phone acces. The crew from the plane gave us the pillow's and the blankets and we had to sleep on the floor of the airport. And beleive me this airport is not the Montreal airport. We were cut off from the rest of the world.
We finally took off at 12h15pm. The airline is suppose to refund us an amount. I still will write a complaint letter as the service was terrible. What a nightmare to finish off our great trip. Air transat is now on my black list.

Cayo Guillermo

We are back home.
We had an iccredible trip.
Heat, beach and palm trees.
Like D says: Fuck yeah, fuck yeah.

Got a lot of sun, a little sun burn, but it's already gone.
We cant wait till next year to go back with friends.
I'm already counting the days ;)

PS Next post I will talk about airports and airlines, the not so fun part of our trip.

Excited a little ?

The purse

For months it had been looking at me.
Walking by that store in my building, I could see it.
It never went away, just there waiting for me.
Yesterday I went to touch it.
Oh!!! what a nice summer purse!
But I restrained myself...

Lucky me, I have the best sister in the world, she bought it for me today.

I got THE purse :)
