Rich and idle? Don't make me dream, you sadist. I wish I were, so I could post 20 messages a day...

Never heard of the RTT and the capitalisation des congés?

People who can afford to fly to the States for 4 months when they're not in a good mood, I call that rich and idle.

Capitalisation des congés? If you can get a 4 months vacation, then tell me what is your job, cause I'm gonna quit mine.

I do post ten messages a day, but currently I'm working on my final research paper, so I am always in front of my computer, and when I'm tired of CreditMetrics, I post a stupid message here.

4 weeks, Ad. Read my post again...

4-6 weeks every 3-4 years... is it so shocking?

adnan, i checked out your creditmetrics forum. it's a little too risque for my tastes. i don't consider myself a conservative person by any means. but that's just going a little too far..

Floop, I have just explained why I post tons of stupid messages on the forum. As for you, it's still a mystery.

I'm pretty much addicted to coffee myself. I understand you. And I'm a very nervous person as well. And my job in finance is not going to make it better. I'm afraid I might end killing someone. It's my nightmare, I get really nervous and kill someone, then I regret it but it's to late. It's like a recurrent dream I have. I hope it stays a dream, though. It would be really stupid to kill someone. It would ruin my career.

killing someone could also very much help your career. depending on who you kill of course.

No, because, you see, I tend to speak when I'm asleep. I don't intend to sleep alone all my life like I do right now, so the girl would find it out. Then she would blackmail me so I would have to kill her too. And then I would sleep alone which sucks!

Adnan - I write shit for a famous shitty commercial channel - that's the only way to survive when you're a beginner. I don't want to tell more at the moment, you'll probably understand why...

Floop - if I understand well you're a director? (Wooow)

In fact I'd like to ask you some questions. If you don't mind I'll send you an email soon...

Well you know, I am specialized in finance where they teach us to "surtout ne pas tuer l'ours avant d'avoir vendu sa peau". But I suppose that this is not true everywhere.
