Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right ...

Right now it's the mid term break

In the states, it may well be a time for students to let their hair down, chill out and get upto all kinds of un-speakable debauchery, well away from their parents

Here, in France, however, it's more of a familly affair with Mr and Mrs Dupont plus their snotty nosed kids going of for a week or two of skiing

Family bonding trips to the hospital to visit six year old Julius with a broken ankle being an unexpected added extra

Or business people going off on a freebee at the company's' expense
and perhaps coming back home to wifey with a hefty dose of morpions to boot

Whatever ... fair play to one and all

All of which to say, that with all of these people away, our office has been emptied of clients

More empty than a vegetarian restaurant that has run out of stuffed cabbage and has had to resort to selling horse burgers

E.M.P.T.Y

To whit, Fluffy is busy hippity-hopping around in shouty mode

'PHONE PEOPLE ... PEOPLE WE'VE NOT SEEN FOR AGES'
"WHAT ? THEY DIED LAST YEAR ? .... I DON'T CARE IF THEY'RE DEAD, FIND A RE-PLACE-MENT'
'YOU , YOU THERE, WHAT DO YOU ACT-U-ALLY DOOOOOOOO ALL DAY ?'
'HEY ? WHAT ?'
'WHAT DO I PAY YOU FOR ?'
'EH EH ?'
'GET PHONING'
'NOWWWWWW'
'WHAT ? WHADDYA MEAN 'ON HOLIDAY ?'
' GET THE FUCKER IN NEXT WEEK.... DO IT ... DO IT ...NOWWWWWWW'

Sheer unadulterated madness - everyone wants to quit

Thankfully, i'm seeing my headhuntress tomorrow :)
