#739 | Leaving my job, part 3
It’s done. I’m never coming back! I spoke to my boss when I came back from ten days’ leave and asked if he could maybe cancel the contract that starts in March and just let me finish the one ending on the 29th of February. And he said yes. Simple as that!
My last day was yesterday. I made biscuits for everyone. I was a bit sad to leave some of them. And now I’m here in my...

Today I received another huge parcel of food from my grandmother. It’s got chocolate, cakes, candied fruits, cookies, jam, olives and Espelette pepper. Yay!

#728 | Leaving my job, part 2
So today I just didn’t go to work. I left my badge inside just in case I would never have to go back there. When I left I thought this is it, this is the last time I ever set foot in this awful place. This morning I phoned the supervisors to let them know I wouldn’t be coming in today, pretended to be ill and said of course I’d get a medical certificate when I came back on...

#726 | Leaving my job
This might be the best thing I’ll ever do since I found this crappy job.
The decision happened last weekend. We had this huge surge of people breaking down due to the bad weather, and of course we were not at all prepared for that since the manager had thought it better not to extend the contracts of SEVEN PEOPLE back in December. It was complete chaos, we had the manager and the...
#725 | No Internet
So my landlady got this e-mail from the French anit-piracy agency thing and she decided to cut the wi-fi, which is understandable since the poor lady doesn’t want to go to jail because of us silly young people who disregard the law and download stuff illegally.
So no Internet for me at home, which means updates whenever I can for the next few days / weeks.
The good thing is, I suddenly...
