I will be in Paris for few days next week, from Thursday to Tuesday morning. I don’t know what I’ll do yet. Got few plans but I don’t know if this will happen. Last time I was there I felt bad coming back to Dublin, not sure why, I guess I begin to miss the “city” itself. Some people say that you “always come back to Paris somehow”. Maybe it’s true? After 4 Years over here, I feel that my time’s almost come to go back to my origins. But to do what? The same job? Another one? no ideas yet to be honest. 

The Good point is that IBM, HP, and Total Fina Elf gave me a knowledge and a very valuable experience which can put myself in a good place on the French job market. The Bad point (there’s always one) is that I wasn’t good for studies, I don’t have much diplomas. French companies are very addict to diplomas, they want people with 2nd or 3rd degrees at least. They don’t really care about experience (which obviously is a mistake). I need to study this and drive conclusion about what are my chances to get something good in Paris…

Except that nothing really knew, my heart still beating on daily basis for the same one, not sure how long it gonna last like this, but I cannot handle much more. I hope that this few days in Paris will help me opening my eyes. My mother’s always been good advisor, she wants me to drive my personal life with as much force as I drive my professional life…. easy to say, I will follow her advises I think. The person concerned knows exactly what I think she is very aware, nothing else has to be done, only time will make his job. Beside that I will live my life, nobody has anything to say about that, this is my absolute right and go fuck the rest.

Happy week all,

Nicolas
