Why the hell ???

Why the hell did my computer crash two days before my internship viva ??? I didn't care that much about it, but i must admit that it was pretty convenient to have my personal computer, moreover with a french keyboard - which allowed my coutrymen to understand what i wrote, and to notice my perfect spelling. But the most important is that i've able to back-up all my data, after having taken a great pleasure in separating each piece of this devilish machine that drove me crazy for weeks.
You may ask yourself how do i work now. Well, Mathias had a sneaky plan in his sleave. He took out from the Ali BablueEnergy cave two iBook Clamshell - a model that makes its owners feel reaaaaally old - one of them which didn't work at all, while the other one had a broken screen. Thus i applied the appropriate surgery, and now use a frankenstein clam to complete my work. At least, only when Rachael is here and uses bE computer, which is gonna be abolished soon, and that brings me to my second existential question.
Why the hell does Rachael quit ??? She seemed to like being at bE, but this is obviously an overwhelming for artistic background girl. This happens at a rather bad time, since bE is investigating for a new work space, we'll next to investigate for a new assistant... And Mathias already wants me to take her place and stay all summer in SF. Having done my presentation this week, my internship is now only between bE and me, and my contract is over next week. I reckon this is time for me to ask for a raise ! 50% should be enough...
Otherwise, from a touristic point of view, i'll visit Alcatraz tomorrow, which might be fun even if the trip lost of its appeal since i learned that there was actually no longer prisonners in it. Why the hell ???

What's up doc ?

What shall i say...I'm not very inspired these days. My anti-spam script doesn't work in automatic mode and that drives me crazy ! Otherwise Mathias asked me to make an implementation plan for Netsuite. Intern project manager... That shows you a bit how much you have to be a ninja in blueEnergy. So i have a little bit of pressure these days, but since this morning, i'm extra relax, because i've been accepted to the UTC, a french engineering school quite famous i must say, and this calms down. An issue that i will not have to care about anymore. That only leaves the presentation next week and... No, i'll not start making a list, it's gonna demoralize me.
Otherwise we went hiking this weekend with Mathias in a park in the north of San Francisco. Gorgeous landscape with a great view on the Pacific. My legs still remember it.
Well, i've spoken, next post i'll wait for something interesting to say.
