Had a huge, multi-hour power outage at work yesterday, the day of our big movie screening and the last business day before the annual VIP soirée we're hosting Monday. Without technology to support our last-minute crunch before these critically important events, Francois, Pascale, Jean-Francois, Olivier, Jules, Kim, Patrick, and I reverted to the only thing people did before computers and electricity: we played rock-paper-scissors (locally known as roche-paper-ciseaux) in the dark. I kept beating Francois (just like when we played fooseball), and he kept firing me from my job. We are responsible working adults.
Unfortunately, the power came back on, and the madness that ensued was not particularly enjoyable.
Kristi, my cousin, arrived around 5. After she helped me with some work stuff, we ate crepes at Juliette et Chocolat (but had to leave before the chocolat due to time constraints -- terrible. Just terrible). We went to the Lion d'Or for the film screening, where I had the happy-happy-happy pleasure of introducing her to nearly all of the people who have meant the most to me in the past months. Afterwards, my friends Nicholas and Mathieu invited us out for poutine at LaFleur. Good, good, good times.
