Seman That Smells Like Fish
For several days I say let me ab-so-lu-tion that I'm talking about my exciting life in upper part of the dynamic Parisian life.
Good as ever finished by 19:30 (I have a thought for my fellow commuters every evening at 19:30 sigh "and shit, I'll still go and I should 21h not my kid." Sadness.) I 'm too tired to write you anything super interesting, except that I'm tired.
And the fact is that I do not know what to say because I do not really know what I think.
There's a part of me is really happy to finally have responsibilities, to learn every day a little more of this new profession, to have a really great boss (he must be passed by the French Alliance Sydney to take the measure of what it is!) to help small babes looking for a job to find one, to complete projects, work in teams.
And then there 's another part of me that's like a big big big doubt. Is said thousand times a day "But what am I doing here?" The butterflies in my stomach.
I told you talked a little side Commercial Super clean this job. The next, I'll get the business, Toper contracts, make conf calls with Dir Com. You see a little? The commercial objective side ---> ----> contracts premiums at the end of the month, yay champagne and mojitos. Ben
not miss it eh, I think I'm not made for that too. Just talk to me about it, just I do not care really.
I do not feel in my place, I feel like a farce.
And the little super weird stuff of life: I now have an assistant.
And I admit, I envy.
I want to 18h when she takes her jacket and breaks. I envy when I see it in his quiet corner so I conf call with my Dir Com sucks too. I feel like when my boss gives me my Weekly Point and I have not reached my goals and it must be talked about. In fact
responsibilities, I'm drunk. That sucks, shameful, cowardly and pathetic, but true.
I can not say I was not warned. This job is the line near what I described in maintenance. And now I'm a picky eater at the first hurdle ...
must say I was gently put into prospecting for 3 consecutive weeks to test my motivation and I will start to recruit strictly speaking Monday. So if it is, I'm having as a divine illumination and kiffer my race.
I have not said my last word, I give myself until the end of the year to see. Hope!
Good end of weekend my balls!

Dora The Explorer Teaches French
I discovered today an interesting initiative, and it seems unusual, the city of Besancon . Indeed, in a few days the capital Franc Comtoise all freely available for its citizens (for a small deposit) cameras and thermal power meters.
With a thermal camera, it is possible to detect temperature differences on materials and thus bringing out the heat loss of a building.
The meter allows him to calculate the electrical power consumed by one or more devices.

Bionicle Vezon & Kardas For Sale
The idea of a vegetated roof has always interested me.
In doing some research I realized that this process had (almost) the benefits :
The main benefits of a green roof :
- thermal inertia to achieve significant energy savings
- a very good soundproofing
- a looks better than solid foam tiles
- reduced temperature variations up to 40%
- protecting the waterproofing membrane against UV, temperature rise and weather (hail gel, ...)
- filtering rainwater
- improving air quality (humidity, dust, toxic).
- extension of longevity for the waterproofing membrane to 40-50 years
- limited to low-slope roofs (\u0026lt;35 °)
- 's large investment in strengthening the structure and the addition of substrate, plants and drainage layers (even if over time we found it).
This is a compromise between the two with 15-20 cm of soil and planting the nutritional needs measured (Eg grass)
In conclusion we would really like to revegetate 50 to 60% of the roof of our future home (especially the rooms to improve the acoustic comfort and thermal). However, after our appointment with the Mayor of Pirey , we're not very optimistic. Indeed, we have always refused to explain the flat roofs.
We could revegetate a pitched roof but the price is even more so. We'll try to find with our architect a solution that fits all with minimal impact to the aesthetics of our project started.
