I seriously feel as though the week has had ten days to it, i'm feeling all straggly and fraggled out.

MissusBossWoman went to her father's funeral today in Rome and more than likely will be back on monday - so taking the 'pressure' off BoyIdiot.

In France, there is a huge emphasis on 'imposing' oneself in any given situation (me, meeeee, meeeeeeeeee first)

It could be queue jumping at the boulangerie, flashing a crisp 20€ note at the barman for a beer or even changing lanes at the motorway toll gate, just to be two cars in front.

You'll often hear a french person say: "il faut s'imposer"

Evidently, in any country in any job you have to be able to defend your turf - more so if your supposed to be in any kind of supervisory role.

If you're incabable of imposing you will, unable to gain respect, and can't make clear-cut decisions ... well ... let's just say you'll end up a laughing stock
