Can you please please please help me find out if it's possible to get from Luxembourg to Paris by train?

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

It is. Go to the sncf page, put "Luxembourg" for "Depart" (it will ask you again to choose from two possible places, choose "Luxembourg Ville"), "Paris" for "Arrivee", then set the date / hour / rest of infos and click on "Rechercher maintenant" at the bottom of the page to find the trains.

Edit: And congrats! [Wink]

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

thanks! [Smile]

will elaborate later [Smile]

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

You're welcome. If you have any problems with the site, ask away.

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

What Kama's trying to say is that she's almost certainly getting the translation job she applied for. [Smile]

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

Yeah, but for some reason she's slow to post it on Hatrack... [Dont Know]

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

I was gonna wait until AFTER the interview [Razz]

Anyway, they asked me when I'm not able to do it. I said Friday 23.09.05. So... I get the e-mail inviting me to medical tests and interview... on Friday, 23.09.2005!

*bangs head on wall*

Anyway, I figure I'm gonna comply. Go to Lux on Thursday, have medical tests Friday morning, have the interview at 2.30 and then catch a train to Paris, arriving sometime in the evening. What think you?

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

Ok, ok. [Big Grin]

Edit: Grrr...

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

Waaaaaait a sec! You mean you'll be in Paris only from Friday evening? Drat. That means another change of plans for me, I think...

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

I would, yeah. not very happy with this, but don't want to complicate the matters further.

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

Sure, do what you have to do and I hope you have no problems in getting the job. [Smile]

I just posted in the EuropeCon thread to tell people about this and also asked when's everybody coming. The thing is I am *surely* going to my aunt in Germany before coming to Paris, and I'd like to spend more time with her if we don't meet on Thursday anyway.

Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :

Kama, that's wonderful about the translation job. [Smile]

We'll get to see you Saturday and Sunday, then. [Smile]

And clearly the people you will be working for have wicked senses of humor, so life will be exciting. [Razz]

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

*curious*

Medical tests?

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

it's a requirement. You need to have a medical examination in order to get the job (and the health insurance). I think it's common practice in Europe.

Posted by ketchupqueen (Member # 6877) on :

Wow.

I'm pretty sure that's illegal here.

Posted by Kama (Member # 3022) on :

humph.

Posted by Mr.Funny (Member # 4467) on :

Wait?

Corwin is a Paris-ite?

I didn't know that.

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

Nope. A "lyonnais", for the moment. [Big Grin]

Anyway, I'm having an interview on 23 September in Luxembourg. I'll tell you all about it in Paris [Smile]

Posted by Choobak (Member # 7083) on :

I forgot you are one of us... [Big Grin]

Posted by Corwin (Member # 5705) on :

"one of us" - that sounds... evil! [Evil]

Red Devils?

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

It isn't illegal to require a physical here in the US, a lot of jobs require them.

This is my new motto.

Posted by Valentine014 (Member # 5981) on :

When I was working for the Red Cross they required a physical. The job description said there would be lifting and they needed to make sure I was healthy enough to do everything required of me. This went along with a pre-employment drug as well.
