New kid in town
« on: September 02, 2016, 07:14:49 PM »
After 3 happy years at work in Nimes, the time came to start a new contract, this one full time as head "informaticien". Lovely new lycĂ©e, modern, best of technology, enormous - more than 1200 students. A really good position. In fact unless I bugger the dean (or possibly unless I don't) this is my last job  :) :) :)

As the educational system here is a big club, I arrived with a "reputation". A very good one I hasten to add  dear readers. But isn't it great to be the new kid in town once in a while ? Everyone is eager to help, the women are more than just curious . .  a lovely honeymoon period.

Till I inevitably fcuk it up again. But as I get older, the "book of excuses" gets larger.

As a typical "single-language" American, I had to google some of those words.  From what I gather you're the new main IT guy at a new, major high school?  Or possibly the head of the department of computer science?  I can't tell which.  Regardless, congratulations on your new gig and may it last longer than you do!

Hey Kev good for you and yes you will have to maintain a slightly mysterious demeanor something perhaps slightly bad or dangerous to keep the femmes interest up, and use the honeymoon to find out who the ( to borrow a bit of slang ) oxygen thieves are and hopefully the re numeration will allow a few more minor pleasures to be experienced. If I was close I'd split a couple/few Ales with you to celebrate. Well done. Remember the fiddle is the thing

Good for you, Kev!

But you are right, it is good to start fresh every so often.

Good luck on the new job---Be sure to show up with some tatty leathers and cigarette hanging out your mouth and uncork the baffle on your meanest looking bike-- That will get the gals talking  ;)

Damn good idea. French women love a  "badboy" as they call them here.

Learn to say, "Oh, la la" and mean it.
Laugh at least once a day.
Life  $ucks, then you die.
You are entitled to your own opinions, but not your own facts.
God forces us to live with  non-believers to test our resolve.
