i worked with the most wonderful man today. he reminded me so much of robert deniro in 'great expectations,' you know, at the end when finn is all grown up and has suddenly had all of this success, due to his savior (deniro) because of finn's kindness as a child. anyway, this guy is great and i am very excited to work with him. after yesterday, i was very hesitant about work - i didn't have a clue what i was doing and it was all a lot thrown on me at once. and i have huge holes in my heels from my fucking high heels (so cute, though) and my feet, in general, just hurt from traipsing all over paris in crazy shoes. anyway, i met some rockin people today, relaxed a little bit (still a lot to go, though), and got some mad work done. it felt really good to be contributing to something bigger, even if what i was doing seemed like piddly office work. it's all very international and all very cool. i still have to pinch myself when i walk by office doors that have specific countries written on them. to know that i am working in the midst of such a global group of talented folks blows my mind. i left work, strutting down to the metro, listening to some justin timberlake (oh yeah, you know what i was listening to) and just in love with life. there was a line in satc when carrie is talking about how great her new relationship is and then says, 'god, i love this point in a relationship when you can make statements like that and actually almost believe them.' but i actually do believe this. i think this will work out. i've already learned a lot, and i know that i will definitely learn about people and what it is like to work in a corporate environment and handle bureaucracy. it's a whole different world. hopefully i dont post tomorrow how much i hate my job....hehe.
claude is still stalking me. not as much, though. i think he finds me rather boring, always typing on my computer or reading something. sorry claude, no naked stripper dances for you.
i bought a demi-baguette and a pain au chocolat this night after work. and i ate my pain au chocolat and drown it with red wine. i just love wine. especially french wine. while in france.
hey everyone, keep me posted on life. just cuz i ran off to france doesnt mean i ran away from you (well, not all of you...). and just cuz im in fabulous paris doesnt mean i dont get a little lonely now and again (it is then that i turn to my best friends - wine and nutella).
mecano bar opens this friday. that means i will be throwing up all day on saturday. well, hopefully not. i dont have alexis to hold my hair back.
