A funny thing happened to me on the way from the forum... Yesterday, after I finished my day, I printed out a thread I hadn't had time to read. I was reading it as I made my way home, and I quickly discovered it was filled with much unhappiness and the unhappiness centered around France. One woman was unhappy with the French, perceived them as cold uncaring people and was therefore unhappy in France. She painted a very bleak picture.
I was reading all this unhappiness and marveling at how rotten an entire population could treat one woman, when a pretty and very gracious young woman stopped me and asked me for help. Listening to her, I immediately heard her French accent and asked where she was from. She's just here from Paris. She started working at the same studio I do yesterday as an intern on a film production. She was very animated and friendly, and somehow we managed to sit there and quickly while away three quarters of an hour talking about all manners of things from films and filmmaking to cities around the world and her education. She was such a delightful young woman... such a pleasure to chat with, it was difficult to say good bye. But since she works here and the same hours I do, I suspect we will have other occasions to meet on the way from work. I certainly hope so.
Anyway, I thought that was kind of ironic... to be reading about all this unhappiness involving the French only to have my reading interrupted by a few too-brief moments of happiness for myself involving the French.
Love,
Val
