Good news and Good luck, Kiki
Wow Titi !! Great news !!

Some news...

I wasn't very present on the forum these last months.

I lost my job on july, and I don't find another yet, my beloved kitty was killed near my house at the end of september, it's very hard, I miss him so much, my grand-mother had surgery on october and she didn't recover yet and finally, I am sick since the end of november, I had medical exams but the doctor didn't find where the problem is...

I just hope 2012 will be better, and I wish you a very happy new year !

Ooo... Alex it was a hard season, last year fall was...

my job is also difficult,..It mean the Japanese economy is difficult because of strong yen.. I might lost my job in the near future... I don't know..

I just wish you have a good time this year, and everything goes well for you and your family.

Alex, I'm so sorry
I wish you and your family good luck in New Year!

Alex, I hope that the doctors will find evil that you suffer as quickly as possible, courage!
Saori, oh not, are you sure that you will not have any more your job? I like you to find it as quickly as possible and courage!
At the moment, we go well, I saw my children and my choupinette Vicky which grew.. My daughter Gaëlle came back from San Francisco for month and she will leave again in SF, I use it as well as his friends who want to see it lol!

Alex , j'espère que les médecins trouveront le mal que tu souffres au plus vite ,courage!
Saori , oh non , es-tu sûre que tu n'auras plus ton job ? Je te souhaite d'en trouver au plus vite et courage !
En ce moment ,nous allons bien, j'ai vu mes enfants et ma choupinette Vicky qui a grandi ..Ma fille Gaëlle est rentrée de San-Francisco pour un mois et elle repartira à SF, j'en profite au maximum ainsi que ses amis qui désirent la voir .. lol!

Oh! I'm sorry to hear that girls!
Hope 2012 won't be such a bad year for u! Pray to God for both of u!

@Saori-sama: Gambate kudasai! Don't give up! I hope u won't lose ur job!

@Alex: Bonne chance! Hope u'll find soon a new job! Sorry for ur lost! really hope all the best for ur granny and u!!

@Gis: Nice to hear that at list u are happy!

Thank you, Gis and Adelina
The company barely exists now. lol. my holiday increase from this year. Of course I'm glad, but my salary decreases a little. still it is a satisfactory salary, but it is sure that the company weakens Because Japanese economy weakens, there are few companies which spend money on advertising. My section is selling advertisement.. and not big company.. lol

anyway, I'll do my best on my work Thank you!!

@Gis
it's good to hear that you had a wonderful time with your family well, so It seems that Vicky will be able to speak French and English completely In the near future. more than Gis and of course more than me...

Poor Alex - you have had a horrible last six months. Job loss, ill health & I know how it feels to loose your beloved pet....

Saori - I hope that your job remains secure.

My best wishes to all who have such worries & I hope that 2012 is a better year for you.

Alex, I hope things get better for you this year.

Saori, I hope you're able to keep your job.

How awful that so many of our members are experiencing major difficulties in their lives as the new year of 2012 gets underway! I can only hope that, somehow, this new year will resolve everyone's problems and restore to those members a happy way of life.

My heart goes out to Alex. It's very distressing when you have to deal with unresolved ill health, on top of losing your job and your beloved pet, in such a short period of time. (((((((hugs)))))))

To Saori...the economy is bad everywhere it seems and companies of all sizes have been radically affected by it. Do whatever you can to keep you job even if it means taking a substantial cut in salary. If you can hold on to that job you'll be one of the lucky ones. There are thousands and thousands of people, worldwide, who weren't as lucky and are unemployed, with little hope of regaining employment. The world we live in is in a terrible mess and I don't know when any of it will be resolved, I'm sad to say. However, if your company should cease to exist, I hope you will be one of the luckiest ones to find a new job as soon as possible.

At least there is one bright spot in all the gloom and doom, that Gis has been able to spend wonderful time with her family members, especially her precious granddaughter, Vicky. May you get to spend countless more hours cuddling her as the year passes.

Alex, you last months seem quite bad. i hope your grandma recover and that you find out what is wrong with your health. i am keeping my fingers crossed for you.

Saori, the economics everywhere suck. More free time with a so and so salary is not the worst thing that can happen. i wish you get to use your free time to do some of the things you wanted to do but never found the time.

i really hope 2012 will be a more productive year for me because in 2011 i did lots of stuff but i feel i did not really advance in any way. plus my job contract ends in October and i have to think what i want to do ( and what i can do ) by then. plus i am getting my degree in nutrition this year which means i have to do a freaking diploma paper and the i have to have the diploma exams. i feel tired just by writing it.

Thank you

I know if I change my job, I can't get the salary that is equal to now. so I should keep my now job. I don't have a artistic talent and special technique and so on. I'm too normal but I think .. I am good at learning a new thing ...except language study so I guess that my boss (owner) feels that it is convenient to employ me...btw I heard the Darwin's Proverbs by chance on TV today.

Quote:

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent that survives. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. --- Charles Darwin ---

"Darwin's theory of evolution" became my bible from today on
and it might be good chance to spend for my hobbies on off day as Irina said.

Saori, I am sure that Vicky will speak English better than me, lol!!

I would see Vicky and his delightful parents in the afternoon then they go to Switzerland (a supplier pays them a small stay) then they come back to La Rochelle..
We will see if we can plan a trip this summer..
Saori ,je suis sûre que Vicky parlera l'anglais mieux que moi ,lol !!

Je verrais Vicky et ses charmants parents dans l'après-midi ensuite ils vont en Suisse ( un fournisseur leur paie un petit séjour) ensuite ils rentrent à La Rochelle ..
Nous verrons si nous pouvons planifier un voyage cet été ..

@Saori-sama: huh! U don't have artistic skills! U? So if u don't have..thanwhat to say about mines!
Anyway I agree with Irina! As long as u have a job - hope u'll not lose it! I'm sure u won't actually - and u get paid even less then before but u have more free time then it's pretty good
And I'm pretty sure that if u'll exercize a little more u'll be able to learn foreign languages too! That's what I need too..but it seems that I'm too lazy to study....

nice quotation!

Adelina, I fixed you your signature, lol!
this goes to you just like that?
Adelina, je t'ai fixée ta signature , lol!
ça te va comme ça ?
