C’est important de partager les bons comptes. Important to share great accounts.

When a clown takes residence in a palace, he does not become a king, the palace turns into a circus.

Fearing cold is a bad start to annex Canada 😂

There are interesting conferences elsewhere than USA

Fraude téléphonique avec « oui allô » : pas de panique Des experts sont catégoriques : il faut plus que quelques petits mots pour accéder à vos comptes bancaires.

I am glad to say that we have hired more women than men in our tech organization in recent history.

I held without it for over 3 years until I got it at last year’s Christmas party. At least, I am getting a booster every year before the holidays, so it was rather benign.
