Congratulations Arn - even if it's financially incentivised. :D

I know what you mean about inheritance tax. We've got similar crummy laws in the UK.

Nope, not yet.
We got the keys yesterday and we're moving Saturday. I can't wait for this whole thing to be over so Malorie and I can settle in our new life.
Right now, it's all boxes and cleaning and mortgage paiement and all that and we're both quite tired.

Aw. How much time do you think it will take you to settle into your new place? Are you two taking any time off to movie?

Malorie has tomorrow and Monday off. I have only Monday off.
I think the first step will be Saturday evening when we have everything in the new appartment. Unpacking boxes is much funnier than making them.
So yeah, next week can't come soon enough. :)

HAH! I almost got that one in Washington!

BTW, what's up with those school kids in your country? Surely THAT's strike just to be on strike? I mean, the argument that there'll be less room for younger people on the job market is obviously ridicilous.

How's the situation there, anyhow?

Well as usual when there is a long strike, some school boys and girls decided suddenly they have political views and go on strike. I'm sure only 10% have a clue as to what they are striking for.

And as usual when the kids are striking and protesting in the streets, things go down to shit and there are big fights with the police.
Yesterday, Lyon city centre was a urban guerilla ground. On the main city square, 1500 protesters fought against roughly the same amount of policemen. It was crazy.

And of course, they burnt cars, broke shop windows and even looted a few shops. But yeah, no one is the political opposition is doing anything to make it stop. Might even be happy about it.

Fuckers.

I'm pretty sure one of the points of not making this stop is that roughing up school kids on national television isn't very marketable. It might even make things worse, no matter how hard those kids deserve it.
