Had my first day of work today. Alot of little things still need to get done, a desk, a pc, etc. It was good to have people to talk to. One of my co-workers has been extremely helpful. Even though most discussions are in French, at least the documentation is in English. Tomorrow I go see my apt for the first time since I've returned. I'm going to measure it for cabinets, appliances, furniture etc. I think I'm going to lose weight here. The meal portions are all smaller, and I'm doing alot more walking. OK, there are always 2 numbers listed on a receipt. Note to self: always remember to pay the smaller one, that's euros. The other is Francs, and much larger. :-) Oh, and no matter how thirsty you are, the water in the fountains is not for human consumption. Well tomorrow for breakfast I'm going to order the chocolate filled croissant. I've seen it the same place several times now, and it looks great. But I refused to order anything that I can't say in French. I've scoured the menu for snything resembling chocolate croissant, but to no avail. I guess tomorro I'll just point and grunt. It looks to good to resist again. Well, it's dinner time now, and I'm off to my favorite restaraunt. Au revoir.
