The Peace Maker

The relation between my parents deteriorated. It went very bad. I felt responsible for it. So I tried to bring peace, once again. Sure, I felt sad when I saw my father taking all his clothes from the shelves and leaving home. I felt angry against everything; my work, my boss, my financial situation, myself.I love personal development material. Hopefully, I once studied the relationship between men...

Shockwave

I heard it clear and loud. She is now his fiancée.It was like a heavy weight on my shoulders. I felt a whole in the space and time. The words sounded loud and detached from the whole noise around. I forced a smile of surprise on my face, and hide a tear behind my eye. I never imagined that she would be his. I never imagined that he would be her man. She used to be my inspiration.I used to fantasize...

The Beginning of it

I had the objective of becoming CCNP years ago. I got that opportunity now, but with using "quick-fix" schemes.Even if my co-workers are tempted, I won't follow that road. I investigated it enough. A friend told me to stand the ground. This guy has been contacted by Juniper Networks to work for them. Even if the "ordinary path" is a little expensive, the rewards are enormous.I could imagine what a...

Going Loud

I've been in a Metal concert last saturday. I really enjoyed the last part of it.On my way back home, I was thinking about my past as a Lead Guitar. I was thinking about those sweet moments I lived. I used to play damn good on my red guitar. I remember those people that used to come watch us playing "Sad But True", "And Justice for All", " Fade to Black", "Trust", "Night Rain",......

Crazy PC

Today I discovered the craziest PC on earth. Its keyboard is very fast: one word per 30 sec! But I had to use it because it belongs to one of our clients. I even took a video of the keyboard. The Caps Lock, the Numerical Lock and the Scroll Lock, all of them were blinking like hell. You need to press the right key before it blinks again.In the middle of the job, I was laughing. At the end, I felt...

Big deal

Some time ago, I began to think about getting back to my company's HQ. I am grateful to God that I've been accepted to work as a "détaché" in a large bank in my country. However, that wouldn't mean a lot in reality anymore. I now know almost 95% of the whole client internetwork. But there are no new technologies. There's a VOIP project coming in the way. I rather prefer improve my skills on Juniper...

1 photo, 100 Memories

It took only one-second glance at it to trigger a one-minute sequence of memories. I built hopes around it in the past. I am building other ones in the present. I still have that vivid picture. It helps sometimes in my lonely moments. May God help ...

Goals

On my way home, I was thinking about it. He made it despite all.I remember high school days. He told me that he'll marry her. She was his classmate and girlfriend. But she went to study in France. I told to myself "he'll meet other girls and marry another one, definitely". That was 8 years ago.He kept his promise. He's in France, working and studying for PhD and today, I got an invitation to his wedding,...

Girls that want girls

We call them Lezbians. I don't know where that word comes from. I've been thinking about this subject. Here's my theory. It's local, not universal because every country has its culture.Most of lezbians are gorgeous. They are more exposed to flirting that ordinary girls. So they get higher and higher self esteem. But they are still human and need "male" affection. What can they do? A lezbian can have...

Human Network

Respect your co-workers and watch your mouth. That's a golden rule in professional environments, especially for juniors. One of my co-workers criticized another one. He was complaining about him. As we were driving back home, I was thinking about watching more and more what comes out of my mouth. Never complain, never explain. As a matter of fact, that guy was led off by the company. It's true...

my ennemy

Who is your ennemy? Everybody had some time ago an ennemy. As for me, I am sometimes my own ennemy.Does it sound strange? think about it. You do something bad to yourself. But you enjoy it. You feel a temptation that might harm you. But you enjoy it. You waste time. But you enjoy it. You listen to a sad song and you enjoy it. You feel angry, sad, bored. But deep within yourself you like it.Aren't...

Everything is under high security level here. At the same time, the IT Security guy is leaving his bureau. He'll move to another agency. I need some time to get comfortable with th...

Am I optimist?

Long ago, I considered myself as a kind of pessimistic. But last saturday I prouved the opposite. The company I work for rarely does trainings for its staff. If I need a training, I must do it to myself. I must be my own teacher. It's an opportunity to demonstrate one's abilities to overcome obstacles and win people's respect. All that I need is patience and discipline. Am I optimi...
