You and me both. The worst are the chocolate protein bars on my way home from the gym, it's a 1.5 mile walk. Doesn't matter how careful I try to be, I get chocolate on me every time.
Coffee to go. That's funny. And so true. 'can I get a to-go cup please?' And they look at me like I said something wildly inappropriate.
Wassup Leaky? Cultural differences are unavoidable everywhere huh? Unexplainable too, I'll tell people how this and how that but until you're in it, you don't know. And the worst you can do is try to impose your culture onto theirs, no way! That's not how it works. Just tryna blend, just tryna blend. But it seems I always got an empty coke zero bottle in my back pocket around here.
Eh, we're making a couple more quick trips before we do some readjusting in EU like I was telling you. Not sure how close you are to Paris but we'll be there Sept 20-27, just sayin.
Thanks man.
I'm moving back to Canada mid September. I'll already be back home by then. Can't make it to Hive fest either lol. Timing is always off in life haha.
Damn the bad luck! That woulda been cool to hang out.
I'm excited and something else at the same time. I think we'll make it to Hive fest this year but looking back and now this year, too, considering like 99% of users aren't whales, why they gotta be in the wealthiest cities? Not rich.. wealth. Where's next year's Paris? San Francisco? Never hearda one being in Nigeria. Or Arkansas.
Anywho...
Back to Canada, eh? That was a good run. How long you been at it, like 2 years? Mind me prying a little? What's up, your wife's gig is over or something?
Yeah I hear yah.
It will be 3 years I totally. It was only ever supposed to be 2 years but we extended an extra year. She goes back to a new project/position in Canada and I have to look for a new career myself.
A whole lot of room for angst, excitement, curiosity. I love that kinda stuff. I call it Livin. You know how if you're driving, tired, probably shouldn't be driving and AH! you wake up to brake lights! Barely miss the car in front of you by a playing card.
You know that feeling I'm talking about, right? Takes over your whole body. Heart in your throat. I call that feeling alive. Big moves/decisions like that kinda have the same effect just less intense.
I have issues.
Stop me any time. How young are you? Got a career path idea? Don't answer shit if you don't want. Cheers dude.
Yeah moving is definitely like that, especially when you have pets and have to bring them across the ocean on a plane. I'm dreading it.
I'm 36 and on working on my second career. I was a fire sprinkler designer for 5 years but then went back to university to get a psychology degree and then Master in Social Work. We came to France right after I graduated so I haven't actually gotten into it yet. But will on our return. That's the plan anyway. We will see.
Ooh pets. I never even considered that one. Yeah, man that's gonna be a task.
I was a Union Electrician for 22 years, damn Fitters were always in our way. =}
You got this Leaky. 👊🏼
That sounds familiar. I remember that now that you mention it. I think we had this convo before haha 😆
Thanks man 👊
