En plus du Website Pro Day, je propose de tenir début janvier le World Wide Paperwork and Administrivia Day, consacré à régler ces histoires de paperasses j'ai des tas de quittances à trier et à envoyer à ma comptable, par exemple une fois pour toutes. ❋ Unknown (2007)
The quittances which the Mayor of Meudon had exacted from him before he would issue the necessary safe-conducts placed the whole of his future, perhaps his very life, in jeopardy. ❋ Rafael Sabatini (1912)
House at San Francisco, a porter wheeling a truck broke through a queue of us waiting to obtain our quittances, with the careless warning, "Out of the way, fellers!" ❋ Unknown (1903)

[On the outside:] _N'oubliez pas de demander des quittances, et donnez-moi aussi vite que possible des nouvelles. ❋ Ludwig Van Beethoven (1798)
What other language can be used when we find that they called the sun _l'aimable éclairant le plus beau du monde, l'epoux de la nature_, and that when speaking of an old gentleman with grey hair, they said, not as a joke, but seriously, _il a des quittances d'amour_. ❋ 1622-1673 Moli��re (1647)
Pour ceux que ça intéresse, je suis également en train de mettre sur pied le World Wide Paperwork and Administrivia Day, qui sera consacré chacun de son côté, là à avancer dans le triage de paperasse, le remplissage de formulaires administratifs, les coups de fils qui attendent depuis des plombes, le triage des quittances à envoyer au comptable… bref, vous voyez l’idée. ❋ Unknown (2007)
