Passionflower, "Voulez vous couchez avec moi c'est soir" is from

the 70s Lady Marmelade song. It means, "Will you sleep wtih me tonight?"  The song was about a New Orleans hooker.  It's about the only French I know.  I've never used it, but it might work if you're bored with your job.

I love you, Passion, but I refuse to get stressed out over the absence of hurricanes.  lol

Maggie...I'm surviving...stressing quite a bit about this weather...

Can you believe we haven't had any hurricanes in the US yet???

I told you, LostinLove...we dont live that far apart...

We should get together and watch "The Gods Must Be Crazy" parts 1, 2, and 3 (if there is one)--

Cool Symphony....How come you learned Spanish instead of French

Or Italian?????? Me and you should have our conversations in Spanish from now on. Quiere?

Oh no, BlondeAmb...not you too!!!!!!!!

Well, this is the MOST mind-numbingly boring job on the whole planet (I say that about every office job I get)....It's a wonder your brain doesn't turn to mush by 5 p.m.

Driving to the office and all the stuff that happened once I got there.

You are so cute! I love your life stories. I was a temp once after my stint in the Air Force in between my Civil Service job at Eglin. I still think about the place I temp'd at. I was frustrated a lot, but it was a great experience for me.

Still can't wait to party with you someday! Love ya! Blonde

Passion--- I'm missing something here--- the connection between the

headline and the rest of the post. The French instructions appear to be just one more of life's many little mysteries.

Passion, I don't know what it means, but my hubby might.  He knows French.  He's out getting our van repaired at the moment, so I'll ask him when he gets home. 

So, how are you?   You doing ok?  Later.

Dealing with the regular, so - called 'normal' people....YKEs....That's for the help with the French...LOL-

Passionflower

Most of my job involves speaking to people on the phone, but 99% is by employees of other companies dealing with the one I work for. There's a certain level of professionalism most of the time. I doubt I could do it if I encountered "regular" people and what not. Avec definitely means "with." Me me sounds an opera singer warming up backstage.

Maybe so, Blanche...what does that mean anyway?

You're right Blanche...You can't always be ready for everything

That might happen.

Passionflower, We have 12 Mountain Dew bottles of water stocked up

and that's about it.    I think in some way,though, a lot is in the hands of God.  If I have to take off with the clothes on my back, I'll do it, and so would MG.  He was in the Rangers, so I'd trust him to be able to make fire if it comes down to that.

If you stood up and yelled, "Voulez vous couchez avec moi c'est soir?"

I'll bet you'd get some action, Passioinflower. Remember Lady Marmalade, the singer? 

posted by Blanche. on September 18, 2006 at 7:21 PM | link to this | reply

Oh my Blanche...poor guy!

It does something to us to see and hear all that shit I guess. I carry WITH ME (I know you do too) enough stuff to survive for 7 days.

Bandana....Okay, well I'll yell that out tomorrow at work

And see if I can get any action...thanks for the tip!

posted by Passionflower on September 18, 2006 at 7:18 PM | link to this | reply

Yeah, I bet you get yelled at every day.

Btw, I don't know what "me me avec" means, but it sounds like something an attention whore would say all day, "me me me me me avec me me avec..."

posted by bandanafish on September 18, 2006 at 7:13 PM | link to this | reply

Passionflower, I think that's got to be an occupational hazard.

I was talking to that guy I talked you about, who's a disaster preparedness planner, and he says he gets so he just can't talk about it anymore, or parts of it. I asked him how much stuff he keeps stockpiled for his own personal use and he said 5 weeks worth of food and supplies.

I saw him in there today, but when I sat down to talk to him, another guy took exception to my sitting down at their table, laptoppers sometimes get so territorial, I had to tell him it wasn't  his fricking office, so that ended that conversation.

Passion

It means I don't know. When the french teacher would ask me questions during class we were told if we couldn't understand what she was saying we were to answer Je ne se pas. I used it all the time even on my exam, I still passed though I don't know how. I think it might have been my mini bar in my locker she was caught in there slamming back some shots after school one night, I told her it was on the house and she said it better be because alcohol is not allowed on school grounds. And I responded saying Je ne se pas.

Blanche...I get pretty bummed working disasters...

• You hear the same ole shit everywhere you go
• Half the people are lying
• Most of the people could have fared much better if only they'd been watching the Weather Channel and had been prepared

It gets harder and harder to feel sorry for them.

Tell me about it, Passionflower, that was only 5 years ago,

Blanche...some people just don't have the personality

And temperament for working with people...they can be exasperating.

Actually, my nerves are what got "shot".  LOL
That's what therapy is for, right?

posted by Sunnybeach7 on September 18, 2006 at 6:59 PM | link to this | reply

Passionflower, I feel for you, when I was temping, I tried to stay out of

the front office, and dealing with the phones.  I got a job I really liked as a personal assistant to a paralegal, making binders for lawyers and hardly anybody bothered me (well, except for one of the paralegals and one of the partners but that is another story).

Anyway, I think 8-Ball's right, Avec means "with" but what the heck the "me me" means, I don't know. Ask Wiley or MarieClaire.
