Strikes in France

I would like to but i have to say Strikes in France are not an urban legend.

Its true and it happens often... too often.

Like today, my daughter school is on strike and tomorrow too. So no school... what can I do? Staying at home with my daughter...
Hmmm, i can't, 'cause they need me at work.
And if I stay at home I have to take vacation days... it's bad!

So my daughter (her name is Gally) come with me at work. May you imagine a 5 years old girl spending an all day to a software publisher.
It's pretty funny. 'Cause it's not the first time that she comes now. So she knows everyone. She makes drawings for everyone. She goes chatting with everyone. Lol, the mood is less stressful when she's there.

Ok, i can't really work, because she needs attention, but i don't know why, my boss prefers that, rather I stay at home.
And by the way it makes me really busy... the day goes really really fast! :)

What about your work when you know that you'll quit

Its a bit weird as you're shared between different feelings.

First, you thank God to have that work, as it makes you busy and it helps to kill the time. I'm pretty sure if i was not working, waiting at home i gonna to be more crazy about the wait that I'm already. Even if i was not in that wait mood, I'm the kind of person who need to work.

Second, you can do what you want, you loose taste to work, 'cause you'll think that if you was not working you'll have more time to do all the stuffs you have to do. I know, what I say right now is a bit contradictory. But its true.


Third, ... In my case, you'll start to hate your work. Why? 'Cause I'm French and in France we get a lot of really good laws about work. Laws protect the workers and the employers. You can't be fired easy in France... but you can't quit easy either. I mean I will have to give a 3 months notice to my employer. I can't do it now, because I don't know when I will be approved and so when I will get the visa, and I can't take the risk to be without work, without money for weeks or months before I'll get the visa. I have to wait to have the NOA2 (approval) before I can quit, it makes me upset as I know that it will makes the process a bit longer for me.


I told you... nothing is simple or maybe it's just me :p
