Hello Out There!!!

No news is good news... so the saying goes! I haven't had too much new stuff to post. Just been settling in and working a little here and there. Starting to get into more of a routine, but I am still not speaking French so well.

I was able to watch the Superbowl (although the broadcast was in French). There were some bars in town showing the game which was scheduled to start at about 12:30 at night. I didn't feel like hanging out in a bar until 4 o'clock, so we messed around with the cable box and we were fortunate enough to get the broadcast beamed right into our bedroom.

I was excited about watching the game, but I still fell asleep in the second half and I awoke after 3 AM when the Saints picked-off Manning late in the fourth quarter. So I saw that the Saints had won, or were going to win, then rolled back over and went to sleep. And I missed the commercials too, as the local network didn't care about American advertising they just filled the slots with typical stuff.

I have been fortunate to avoid most of the who dat stuff... must be getting pretty old hearing all that who dat noise down there in the south. I don't even know the story of where it came from.

Nobody here gave a damn about the game! It would have been awesome to have some nachos, but what can you do? I was fortunate enough to find some really good buffalo wings at the Hard Rock Cafe here in the city a few weeks back. Things are good, even if didn't get to have a bowl of chilli or some barbecue chicken for the game. There's always next year!

This Friday I have another interview with the same company I have been working with. Together, we are going to discuss the possibility of hiring me full time. If they do this, then the company will assist me in going through the bureaucratic process of obtaining the work visa. I really hope they offer me a position. It would be great to have a steady job, with regular hours and regular paychecks!

I hope all is well back home and I will be back soon! After Friday's meeting I will figure out what I am going to do about airfare. I will be back in the US in a little less than 4 weeks. Take care and Happy Valentine's Day!
