Productivity in France, does it exist?

I seriously don't know how anything gets done in this city. If you wish to do anything, you must make sure that there are no more than TWO ITEMS on your list per day, and that you have thoroughly researched EVERYTHING that is required before attempting the task. Then, when French office number one says "No, we can't do that without a water bill in your name", you must ignore them and head to office location number two. This process takes up most of the morning and/or afternoon (depending on when you choose to complete said task), which is why your 'to do' list must not have more than two items per day. If you even attempt to get more done, you will drive yourself MENTAL.

This, is our day in a nutshell. Our task? Getting a BUS PASS. That's right, just a card that allows us to ride the bus and tram without having to purchase a ticket each time. And we thought opening a bank account was going to be hard.

Our Pretty Little Bus Pass

Sometimes easy going & relaxed = difficult and HUGE pain in the butt.
