Bref, j'avais passé un entretien
Anyway, I had an interview
d'embauche que je pensais avoir raté.
for a job that I thought I'd messed up.
- Do you speak English? - Yes.
- Do you speak English? - Yes.
- Where are you from? - Yes.
- Where are you from? - Yes.
Mais ils m'ont engagé.
But they hired me.
À l'intendance.
In facilities.
Ils m'ont dit que je ferais tout et rien.
They told me I'd do everything and nothing.
Je ferais tout et rien.
I'd do everything and nothing.
Je me suis rendu compte
I realized
que je faisais tout, et eux rien.
that I did everything, and them nothing.
En y repensant, j'ai compris
Thinking back, I understood
pourquoi ils m'avaient pris.
why they had taken me.
Vous demandez quoi en termes de salaire ?
What do you ask for in terms of salary?
De l'argent.
Money.
Merde.
Shit.
Je faisais du café,
I made coffee,
je rechargeais les photocopieuses.
I refilled the copiers.
Un jour, Fabien m'a dit :
One day, Fabien told me:
C'est les chiffres putain,
It's the numbers damn it,
ça marche plus, regarde.
it doesn't work anymore, look.
J'ai fait semblant de taper
I pretended to type
des trucs compliqués.
some complicated stuff.
J'ai pas utilisé la souris
I didn't use the mouse
pour faire américain.
to look American.
Et à un moment,
And at one point,
j'ai juste appuyé sur Verr Num.
I just pressed Num Lock.
J'ai dit : C'est réparé.
I said: It's fixed.
Il m'a dit : T'es un génie.
He told me: You're a genius.
J'ai pensé : T'es un couillon.
I thought: You're an idiot.
De rien.
You're welcome.
Au bout d'un mois, j'ai compris
After a month, I understood
pourquoi un bureau s'appelait un bureau.
why an office was called an office.
Jean-Louis est le trombone.
Jean-Louis is the paperclip.
Tout le monde le pliait
Everyone bent him
dans tous les sens.
in every direction.
Il reprendra jamais sa forme initiale.
He'll never regain his original shape.
- Vous avez entendu ? - Oui.
- Did you hear? - Yes.
Francis, c'est le scotch.
Francis is the tape.
Il te lâche pas.
He doesn't let you go.
- Vous êtes sûr ? - Oui.
- Are you sure? - Yes.
Elle, c'est la colle.
She is the glue.
Elle sent bon, mais elle est saoulante.
She smells good, but she's annoying.
Je t'ai pas raconté mon week-end ?
Didn't I tell you about my weekend?
Comme il faisait beau
Since the weather was nice
avec mon mari Christian,
with my husband Christian,
on est allés à la campagne,
we went to the countryside,
près d'un lac.
near a lake.
On a fait du pédalo.
We went on a pedal boat.
Je m'en bats les steaks. C'est incroyable.
I couldn't care less. It's incredible.
Jean-Michel, c'est l'agrafeuse.
Jean-Michel is the stapler.
On le trouve jamais.
You never find him.
Et Fabien, c'est le post-it.
And Fabien is the Post-it.
Il est voyant, collant,
He's flashy, sticky,
et il s'affiche partout.
and he shows up everywhere.
Elle a un cul, elle me dit oui.
She's got a nice ass, she says yes.
Je me suis demandé si j'étais aussi
I wondered if I was also
une fourniture de bureau.
an office supply.
J'ai compris que j'étais la poubelle.
I realized I was the trash can.
À leurs pieds, à les débarrasser
At their feet, getting rid
de ce qu'ils voulaient pas.
of what they didn't want.
J'ai tout jeté. J'ai dit : Je pars.
I threw it all away. I said: I'm leaving.
Le scotch m'a dit : Vous êtes sûr ?
The tape told me: Are you sure?
J'ai dit : Oui.
I said: Yes.
Il m'a dit : Vous aurez rien.
He told me: You'll get nothing.
J'ai dit : C'est pas un problème.
I said: That's not a problem.
C'était un problème.
It was a problem.
- Vous êtes sûr ? - Non. - Oui.
- Are you sure? - No. - Yes.
En partant, je leur ai dit
Leaving, I told them
d'aller bien se faire foutre.
to go fuck themselves.
Au revoir.
Goodbye.
Bref, j'ai eu un job.
Anyway, I had a job.
