Ah, Paris. So, I got into work at about half-past nine - not that anyone's here to check up on me. Then I chatted to the other intern,Charlotte, about whether she's going to get a job as a chalet girl when her stage is over. As we're chatting, her boss and her boss's boss walk by on the way out to a "working breakfast"; they insist on bringing us back some viennoiseries. MY boss, a laid back and stylish 24-year-old, still  isn't in yet, so I'm perusing The Mirror for the news of the day.

No, I'm not making this up: the world of work really can be likethis. It might be that I'm in France, where working hours are an hourlater than British ones, and it's normal to lunch in a bistrot.It might be because I'm an intern, and not being paid what I should befor the full-time week I'm doing. It might be because it's nearly theweekend. But, with an atmosphere like this, who cares?

I'll let you know how I got on this internship - or stage, as they call it here - on the weekend. Bises.
