Overheard at the bakery
Apr. 23rd, 2019 12:42 am"C'est pas parce que Notre-Dame a brûlé qu'il faut arrêter de cuire les baguettes!" ("Notre-Dame burning is not a reason to stop cooking the baguettes!")
Given the context -- as the entry title says, I overheard this at the bakery -- it was less a deep, philosophical statement about carrying on come what may and more a pragmatic statement about bread, but then again this is Paris, so who knows.
The truth is... I haven't been doing great and I'll take what I can get. It's not the Notre-Dame thing (not just, at least). Last week I nearly fucking decked a coworker for creeping up behind me in my blindspot. I seem to be unable to say anything uncritical about anything and even with things I overall really like I can only seem to formulate reasons to not like them. I painted something recently and everyone says it's really good and yet all I can think is that "why the fuck you always lying" meme. I keep vaguely meaning to do stuff, even stuff long overdue and then... not doing anything. So yeah. Not doing super great.
