3 Day Week-End in Languedoc : Montpelier & Nimes

Last week-end me, max, natasha and alex went for a little "escapade" in South of France. We stayed @ Mélanie & Julien for 2 nights and their reception was simply wonderful, making us feeling like we were home. The theme of the week-end was beach & music. We attended 3 shows in 3 nights, were the highlights were Carl Cox @ Electromind Festival , Arcade Fire & Arctic Monkeys @ Arenes de Nimes. We slept in a nice little hotel on Sunday night in Nimes, which is a quiet little city were we were able to just sit on the terasse and relax before returning to high pace living Paris.
I haven't uploaded the pictures yet, so I'll point you to Max and Alex's Blog/Pictures/Videos.

"Les syndicalistes d’IBM appellent ça «des salariés en mode panique». Réduction des effectifs, surcharge de travail, rationalisation excessive du management, quasi-disparition des contacts entre collègues. La pression augmente parmi certains salariés français de la multinationale. Libération s’est ­procuré des rapports que les médecins du travail d’IBM ont présentés aux instances représentatives de l’entreprise. Ils concernent les 3 500 salariés de l’immeuble Descartes, à La Défense, le plus grand site français du groupe (11 000 salariés en tout en France). Une photographie glaçante du mal-être au travail. Pour la seule année 2006, 29 dépressions, 9 «burn out» (ou épuisement mental) liés au travail, et 185 urgences médicales «pour lesquelles les facteurs professionnels ont le plus souvent un rôle déclenchant»."

No worries, Im chill'in

First week of July in Québec

When I delt my contract to leave for France, I managed to get time off and a plain ticket to come back during the first week of July since I had plans 4 that week. There was my high school reunion, fishing with JF, Sabou and Tip Tom, had to prepare my Montreal appartment so It would be ready to sublet in the middle of July... So it was a busy week, spent between Montreal, Val d'Or and my cottage @ Lac Sabourin. Real good times, to catch up with good mates ans old mates from high school. I'll be back quite soon for a week @ the end of August for my Visa. See ya soon Québec!

Aprilia RS

My new love, she's called Aprilia, isn't she hot?

Sabou back in Pittsburgh

Today, Sabby was a free agent and he signed a 2 year deal with Pittsburgh Penguins. The Canucks had previously offered a one year deal which wasn't what they were looking for. He already played 2 years for the Penguins organisation and he was very sucessfull dressing up with the little penguins in Wilkes-Barre/Scranton.
He'll be joining a great team a few good friends like Fleury and Talbot. Good stuff and good times to come.
