Hotel reception and a lazy boyfriend

We finally have a place to live and I have a job :) I started yesterday as a receptionist for a 2* hotel (www.preludehotel.com) and I really enjoyed it. The rest of the staff are really friendly, my hours are 2-9pm, I get paid more than the bakery...its pretty good overall. 90% of the guests are English-speaking and I'm starting to get the hang of the silly hotel software.

We're moving on the 16th to share a big apartment with this batty old french woman (our own room and share kitchen/bathroom for 400/m which is a great deal) and then she leaves on vacation for a month and a half...leaving us the whole thing for that price. It's a bit further out of town, but hey, it makes the groceries cheaper, and being on the 13th floor we get a cool view of the city.

The plan was to go to the Louvre today (free first Sunday of the month!) but Tom has decided to stay in bed. (We had to do it early since I start work at 2). I was going to go alone but for I decided to pay to go another day for Jenny's sake since she would be upset if Tom never got to the Louvre during his stay in Paris (which he wouldn't if I didn't make him.) He still doesn't have a job...and isn't really looking...but the apartment is usually nice and neat when I get home.

It's holidays at home now so there have been lots of friends in Paris randomly which is pretty cool. During the week we met up with Robbie Diamond, Charley Stollmann, Jess Lewis, Tom Shaw, and Amza. It was bizarre to see so many people I knew after 6 months of meeting new ones. We checked out Notre Dame and the Panthon with Robbie (both a walk from our place). The Pantheon has this giant pendulum in it that was used in the 1800s to prove the Earth's rotation and now works like a giant clock. It was pretty cool. Notre Dame is very pretty in that scary gothic kinda way, but the inside was actually a little disappointing after having been to the Prague cathedral (which I never got around to writing about...my bad)

My work is really close to the Moulin Rouge so I'll check it out before or after work sometime soon! Yoghurt was on special and I kinda over-bought it so we have tons to eat up now.

Thats all the news I can think of for now.
