Work and stuff

<-- Lunch is subsidised, so this lot cost about 2 euro.

Our desks are lined up, and the PLCs keep us warm -->

We've now been in the new building in Carros for about 3 weeks. It's a bit sterile, but very green, apart from the car park, which is good old bitumen. Any time anyone gets on the phone, everyone gets to hear the conversation. That's good for learning the language.

The most important part of work is lunch. Every cafeteria must have at least 4 different entrees, 3 different kinds of cheese, decent long bread rolls, 2 to 4 main meal choices, a few differrent deserts, and a range of fruit. It MUST have 3 types of wine (250ml bottles), and maybe some beer. Not ours though; alcohol is banned on site! It's just not French. Laurent says that we say we drink in order to forget. They must be remembering everything now that there's no wine with lunch.

They've been churning out pizzas, calarmari rings, and other junk lately, but sometimes they have gems like in the picture. The other guys thought it was bland.


<-- It took 3 days to build the tent, fix the garden, and put up some signs etc etc. Everything was over in an hour. There was fruit juice and coke to help everyone get into the spirit.

Opening the new building. "Inauguration Officielle" means "Official Inauguration". -->
