It was another cold winter morning in Paris, I got to work at 7:30, the sun usually comes up around 9:00 so it was pitch dark when I woke up. For lunch I went to a sandwich place to have a quick lunch, then I had coffee with few more people who I usually talk on the phone with, to put some faces to the voice. Its quite interesting to see that the Paris office has nice break rooms for employees, It had few chest high tables for people stand around and hang-out in the break room.

Later on, I left work around 9:00pm. All the shops were closed and its was very cold so I decided to grab some bread/wine/cheese with my co worker while she was shopping for her self. She offer for me to go over for dinner because she was cooking for her family, but i did not feel like to intrude, also by the time she finished cooking it would be like 10, also I was hungry and tired. Then I had to call my boss's boss's boss to tell him that I was too tired to go out drinking with him, this Walsh dude can drink.

So my dinner was simple, bread/wine/cheese, I was just too tired to eat anything heavy. Anyway the night was going normally until I slipped in the shower while reaching for the soap. Thankfully, I landed on my knee and didn't break anything, but now I got a huge bruise on my left knee and I can barely walk now and it really sucks.

that labor union law is for French only, they have shifts, so I am basically covering 2 of them. Also I am a Manager, which means the law does not apply to management. boo hoo.
