Linen button-ups. They are presentable and will be good for the hot weather.

agency POV
Others expense accounts will cover everything. if you are payign for a meal, go east for more affordable and where locals eat. It's the french so every meal takes longer then it should.

RSVP for everything party wise. Locals are at the doors so its just to ensure you have the option to enter. There are many layers of events so enage with your reps to unlock more events. Propeller group has an excel to get you started.

Do not schedule early morning meetings. on avg I got home between 3-4am. its a marathon as drinks start at lunch meetings, so know what you can handle.

Casual is the look. comfortable shoes, shorts, linen as a guy. lots of sundresses, linen, for women.

I view it as a networking event for future jobs and thank you for business.

if you want the free concerts, you have to stand in line early to guarantee you will get in.

if you enjoy high fashion, you can get good deals at the designer stores but make sure you do the tax reimbursement.

its a shitshow getting to Cannes on Sunday and even worse leaving. Give yourself time on your return flight day especially if checking luggage. Best option is to extend your trip.

Why can thanksgiving and Christmas be such harder days? I had a lovely day and am lucky enough that my latest bout of anxiety ended (more like mostly dissipated) about two months ago. I haven’t had high levels of depression in a while and I almost NEVER cry even when I’m depressed. Yet, I ended my day in tears today. Is this normal? I have so many blessings in life at the moment compared to other during such a horrible times bf really am appreciative. Is it guilt because others are suffering?

I am not a very shallow person — he was already on the heavier side when we met. But when I look at photos from just a year ago, it’s clear he’s put on a lot of weight. I am worried about his health. I don’t want to overstep or make him feel insecure. Just wondering if anyone else has ever been here.

Hi all.
