After all that buzz last week: France 24 might be closed down (at least the english and arabic sides), lots of people coming forward (even ministers in the government) saying that it is a bad idea exc. - it still seems to be a waiting game. The unions answered the proposal made by the French president in a widely published press release but people at the channel are still extremely worried, and it is understandable. Especially since no email has been sent to the staff from higher grounds- just to tell people not to panic or whatever... isn't it the work of management to reassure its troops in time like these?

Ok they did have a "galette des rois" the day after. - a traditional cake to celebrate new year where a little toy is hidden inside it and who ever gets the toy is king or queen - Oh and champagne of course. Somehow it did not ease tensions or worries - even though each king and queen got an ipod (I ate 4 slices of the very fat cake until I almost had to throw up - but no luck and therefore no ipod). People just want to know whether it is a real threat or not and what to do. Perhaps noone knows. In unconfirmed news, the day Sarkozy had that famous press conference, the BBC recieved a unusual amount of CV's - sent from France.

I'm so naive that I didn't even think of sending one.. and in the days that followed, was so terribly upset I didn't get an ipod that it didn't cross my mind. Let's say I am an optimist.
