Bank holiday Thursdsay

May is a non-month

The month of May is a strange month in France.

Every week we have a bank holiday - it could be a bank holiday tuesday, or wednesday or thursday .. it's completely arbitrary.

The upshot is that it's impossible to get anything done as everyone goes away for long weekends and puts things off until 'later'.

The month is sooooo shot full of holes it's like swiss cheese.

But there is always a silver lining - less people around, so less aggro and grief hourrah.

My boss gets back from Greece on friday after two weeks holiday.

Things calmed down after last weeks kerfuffle with feathers ruffled only once this week.

It'll be great to see her; she's full of ideas and makes a change from your typical french, cartesian, 'that's impossible, it won't work', boss (she's Italien).

I'll have one good piece of news for her - i've picked up a nice little project to train up 30 people over the next three months or so - you don't really think i swan around sight seeing do you ? ;-)

For the last week or so, i've been tying up loose ends on projects that are midway through/coming to an end so that i can concentrate fully on this one.
