SAD is coming up...

J'ai le regret de vous faire part de l'arrivee prochaine (si ce n'est deja le cas) de SAD in your life. But what the "L" is SAD? Quick story. A month ago I began writting this:

Yesterday I got up and felt tired. What's unusual about that and worth blogging about it? Allow me to continue...

I arrived at work at 8:30am (kinda late I know). And here I am, alone in the open space, like a Robinson Crusoe on a deserted island... All by myself, with nothing to do and no one to talk with (and it ain't Sunday!!). 5 minutes later the boss arrived (nothing unusual, Juniors arrive before Seniors). And then no one until 9am and the flow of polite inquiries : "How are you?" "Tired" "So am I" etc etc. Tireness can be read on anyone face. I know sometimes it is such a P.I.A. to go to work but we're Thursday. It's WE time (D-1)!!!

And then I remember... When I passed the RBS building this morning I saw it... 8°C... Yup! It's official, Summer is gone (yes i know last summer day was supposed to be on 21 September, but please humour me). So say hello to Dame Autumn with Dame Winter in its wake.

That's so SAD!!! SAD as Seasonal Affective Disorder of course!

BUT that was one month ago... In the meanwhile SAD has definitely settled in our lives (at least in mine)... The 8°C are so last month... Now we are talking about real stuff. Yup!!! 1°C, 2°C, 2cm frost... Say hello to October (end of October, but still it is October) and its gloves, scarves, coats, running noses, redish noses, frozen cheeks and ears... To sum up it is freaking COLD!!!! Totally depressing!!!

As said my British housemate yesterday: "England is such a beautiful country to live in". Please add here the famous British sarcasm and the so French "P*****! F*** ch***! j'en ai marre" and you will have a glimpse of my current mood... Because for God sake IT AIN'T F***ING WINTER YET!!!!

Love from the North Pole!!!

Happy New Year 5769!!!

Don't forget Yom Kippur on October 9!!!

In the meanwhile, whether or not one heard the shofar, goy or not, we should allow ourselves to follow the 10 days of repentance until Yom Kippur. Let's do our introspection. Don't forget introspection and questioning are the best paths to improvement... (As well as hitting the gym at least 275min/week... so I was told)

Shana Tova!!!

About me

Most of the time, when starting a blog, the blogger would describe oneself and the objective of one's blog... kind of an editorial...

But, because I am messy and because I found it was such a P.I.A. to do it (I utterly hate introducing me to people. Obviously because I am bad at it and because first impression does stick around. So I thought why rebuke people with the first post when I can do it later... And yes indeed I am a "why do it now, when you can do it later" kinda girl.) the introduction was to come only on Day 2.

ANYWAY...

The thing is blogging is a sort of editorializing and this is a by definition a subjective (biaised) work. To better understand someone's standpoint, it is necessary or at least helpful to know or have a glimpse to one's character....

And here arrives the bullet points and astrology... or how to spice up a tedious work (introduction) with some entertaining and unusual elements:

* I love dogs but babies not that much

* I love food hence my fatness

* I love clothes and shopping, hence my diet

* I love eating hence the gym membership

* I love beautiful bags (read DESIGNER!!!) hence I am always on the edge of "being broke"

* I love keeping up-to-date with news hence my work in finance

* I work in the financial markets field hence I am depressed nowadays (people who don't understand the previous statement please subscribe to 24h news channels!!! à defaut de souscrire à MSNBC ou Bloomberg channels!!! ou encore comme dirait VEP "Sur quelle planète vivez-vous?")

* I hate the rain and the wind hence I don't understand why I want to stay in London...

* My laptop has passed away hence I need to buy a new one (the blog on this one is "to be continued")

* I love being alone hence my "je ne parle à personne le dimanche et non je ne boude pas" attitude towards my housemates on Sundays

* I am Gemini with Scorpio ascendant... I am SO sorry for that

Votre date de naissance : 27 mai 19** à 18h20

Vous êtes du signe : Gémeaux.

Votre ascendant est : Scorpion.

Avec vous, il n’y a pas de juste milieu. Vous détestez ce qui est tiède, car vous êtes d’une nature passionnée. Votre goût des extrêmes peut effrayer ceux qui vous entourent. Vous avez parfois tendance à vous montrer violente avec ceux que vous considérez comme mous… Néanmoins, on peut vous faire confiance car vous détestez le mensonge et l’hypocrisie. Quand vous avec quelque chose en tête, il est impossible de vous faire lâcher prise. Vous êtes très tenace. On peut vous reprocher vos tendances tyranniques. Pourquoi ne tolérez-vous pas que les autres aient une vision différente de la vôtre ? Apprenez à accepter les différences, sans vous sentir menacée par elles. Vous ne détenez pas LA vérité unique, vous devez accepter aussi celle des autres !

La planète qui gouverne votre signe est Pluton

C’est l’astre de la régénération. Cette planète est détonante. Elle favorise tous les excès, mais elle vous donne une grande force et vous rend extrêmement combative. Même blessée , vous finissez toujours par vous relever. Tel le phénix, vous pouvez renaître de vos cendres. Vous avez la faculté de vous transformer de l’intérieur comme de l’extérieur, pour échapper à un destin qui ne vous convient plus. Vous ne craignez pas le conflit quand il est nécessaire, contrairement à la plupart des gens. Vous savez qu’une bonne opposition bien franche vaut mieux qu’un long non-dit… apprenez simplement à ne pas mélanger franchise et brutalité !

How to hunt the male ...

Very interesting articles about the "Treat them mean, Keep them keen" style... or how to fish the targeted one remembering a single rule "DON'T PULL YOURSELF OUT THERE" ...
Rien de plus facile vous me direz... Que nenni!!! Apparently, WE (women) cannot not pull ourselves at the ONE...
So this article is a reminder of what not to do, and above all how to draw attention, raise interest ... and more... from your target. Please read thoroughly those wise words and embrace them...
Pour ma part, I am going to hunt for a prey ... I mean, I am going on a hunt for a fine man... to hunt for...

Ladies, à vos marques! Prêtes?! Partez!!
