It was a weird meeting. Dad, the Paint guy and me. Figuring out what to do and how. It\u2019s tight, the Paint guy is super busy and looking at my room, he told us he would need a week of work. Fair enough.<\/p>\n
My dad doesn\u2019t really make any sense in his decisions, says something to me, says the opposite to the Paint guy, I don\u2019t know to which one he lies to, that\u2019s how connected we are. I mean his train of thoughts is not straight when the meeting is simple: how long, how much, when. It doesn\u2019t seem like an insane equation. He freaks the shit out for everything, for no reason. What a drama bitch sometimes. <\/p>\n
Anyway. Meanwhile we\u2019re chatting and the Paint guy \u2013that we have known for twenty years- is telling us that he has way too much work, up to next year. And that in the beautiful French way, he only hires when he loses contracts! Why? Because hiring is such a pain in France, it is such a crazy amount of admin shit and heavy taxes that he prefers not to grow his business, he just hires for a couple of months when it\u2019s really needed. He\u2019s lucky to be on a local market because if he had to compete internationally like I have to with the computer game market his business wouldn\u2019t be thriving, trust me.<\/p>\n
Then I look at the story of AirBnB, Facebook making so much money, CA friends being in startups and it\u2019s just crazy how much things in France are not exciting you know? It feels like you\u2019ll never go nowhere, don\u2019t dream because that will not happen here. Just enjoy your vacation ten weeks a year, not knowing what to do because wages suck. My design mind kicks in and I\u2019m mad at that terrible design and its opposite cousin in the US (one vacation week a year, buy too much shit). Whatevs.<\/p>\n
Sigh. Almost there. All the trees outside are green which is usually a sign that I\u2019ll take off soon, which is quite the case, which is quite fucking crazy. I\u2019m drained and alive.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
