The atmosphere (l’ambiance) of our restaurant is exotic.
It has tables, chairs, a fruit bar, and a pond.
It also has lots of accessories (accessoires) such as fake animals and palm trees.
The lighting (l’eclairage) is indirect and shines on the walls.
The colours and designs (les couleurs et les dessins) are green (verte), orange (orange), and some animal prints.
This is a very relaxing and fun restaurant!
Please translate the above for me and make sure it makes sense, it’s for a french project. Thanks!

The condo that I decided to buy has oak cabinets with a natural finish and I can pick the color granite. Im leaning toward a feng shui atmosphere but I cannot figure out the best color. Would an absolute black counter and backsplash be too much? Would it look better with some red glass tile? I read that blue, black and red are bad for the kitchen in feng shui. The condo is open so the kitchen will be visible all the time. We like the reds and oranges and might do that in the living room with our brown furniture. Im lost! Help! Would red be too much in the kitchen if we plan on doing it in the living room also?

I have been having trouble getting hired or even a call for an interview. My resume is very well put together. I think this problem may be that I am blacklisted from employment. I have had some rather bad jobs before. Hostile work environment to include sexual harassment and other situations. I am at a loss.
One previous job of mine, I had contacted the arbitration department, employee hot line and other resources. This situation was extremely horrible. I wonder if I can say the job’s name? They never told me no and never went to court. I just got out of there as quickly as possible. Let’s just say it is a very well known rental furniture company with Sales and Lease at the end of the title. Hint Hint.
Here’s what happened to me there.
I was hired on as a C.S.R. by the store manager. He did not want to hire me. But he did because an employee knew my background from a previous furniture sales store. I used to contact this store and others requesting information on previous customers they have had and looking for skip traces (people who are not reliable customers) before signing them up or when they took off with merchandise and I needed to track them down.
Anyways, I got hired on. Thanks to that person. But in the same respect, that person ruined my life. The work environment just kept getting worse with the hostile and intimidating atmosphere. The other employees didn’t like me. I tried my best to win them over. There for awhile it worked. Spending half my pay a week on buying lunch for everyone and helping others with gas money and what not. They used me. It was to be expected but I did not expect the outcome of the situation.
During an audit, I found out from the store manager and the account manager that they were missing a big screen TV. And that they figured out a way to hide it from the auditor. When he left for lunch, they went into the warehouse and moved the TVs around and relabeled one of them to match the bar code of the missing TV that the auditor had reported. So when the auditor came back, the TV had magically appeared.
I got a moment alone with the auditor in the break room and informed him of this switch the best way I knew how but pleaded with him not to tell anyone in the store that I was his informant. He took it up with the store manager. They were in the office for a few hours talking. I had clear view through the windows into the office. The auditor looked upset with the store manager.
Once they came from the office, the store manager shook his hand and said I will meet you after work for dinner, its on me. The auditor went back to work and found that a brand new xbox 360 was missing. It was never taken out of the box and put on the show room floor. Everyone went wild looking for the xbox 360. No one found it that night. The auditor said we could look for it tomorrow. He left and went home. Meanwhile, the store manager and his wife who was also a store manager of another store within the same company where telling all of us employees to find an xbox 360. They asked me if I owned one, I did not. No one had one or was willing to bring theirs to work. So the two store managers came up with a plan with the account manager/assistant manager to borrow one from a customer. I knew who this customer was and the shady stuff he did for work to his own customers because the guy liked talking and didn’t know when to quit. They borrowed the xbox 360 from him that night.
They labeled it and put it on the floor for the auditor. The auditor came in extremely cheerful and buddy buddy with the store manager. Which was unusual for the store manager to like him. Because before he was pulling his hair out yelling at everyone and he was extremely irritated that the auditor was even in the same room as him. And now they are friends?
My store manager has money. Lots of it. He’s the only person in the company to ever make a store go up to a 4 diamond store. My opinion of this knowledge and barring witness to the crime, he had to have paid the auditor hush money.
So That was the last straw for me. I called the hot line and informed them of my troubles at work and the crimes being committed. The investigation went on for about a week. One week later, my co worker who helped me get the job, finally acted on his unwanted advances on me. For weeks he was trying to convince me the only way to save my job was to have sex with him and then he would tell the store manager not to fire me. I never said yes to him. I was extremely offended by him and his ways. The perfect co worker turned into my worst nightmare.
He raped me in the store warehouse. He wouldn’t let me go home that night. He kept me clocked in while he counted down the money. Said he needed one other person in the store while he did this. So I reluctantly stayed, fearing what might happen. But I thought the video cameras would keep him at bay. Unfortunately the warehouse had only one camera facing the backdoor.
My co worker said he needed sku’

Just tell your story, you probably have something to tell…
For me, who have worked in furniture making: sometimes I get to send the furniture, I love to see customer homes, anyway I remember the factory well having to work late. programming: the way I can’t stop making program, it’s addiction, though to many sitting. And In restaurant kitchen: it’s just the best atmosphere I ever have and someday I look forward to become chef again, as currently I’m in law degree.
I guess I love being in the kitchen, though I kinda have doubt with the income.

I would have to say the Hofbräuhaus in Münich, Germany. The beers taste awesome, they are huge, like 32ozers, and the atmosphere is unlike anywhere else in the world. My second choice would be The Fat Black PussyCat in NYC, its got huge velvet furniture and is very spooky looking.
