are you talking to me?

There is a strong physical feature that we share in comon with othe Southeren European countries: taking things personally. It did occured to me before too that we can not draw a distinct line between what is and should stay "professionally" and what is and should stay "personally". It was not until yesterday when I was supposed to send a mail to one of our contractors that was acusing me (though he is Austrian) of involving and not doing my proper job that I realised that I am still having this problem. My 1st replay to his bad English, acusing mail was a very acusing mail too. As usual such mails exchange will not lead anywhere 'cause people will keep acusing one eachother until the end of the day! I went to Paco to say his thoughts about my mail first - and I knew it was not what he will write.

"You have to be the 'white knight' of the mails, nothing should touch you personally". "Don't say: 'mr. Gigi' didn't answer...' say 'IMV did not replied back...'".
The 2nd reading of the mail for sure was not leaving the same impression.

doar ca sa omor timpul

"this is a shit Monday morning" - da s-ar putea dar eu nu simt asha, este ushor ceata afara si temperatura este cel putin la jumatate fata de mediile din ultimile zile..

am iesit de pe scara si tocmai vad cum se opresete 282 in statie - fug dupa el ca sa il prind. Etse intr-adevar plin de lume dar am si eu loc langa usa... nu este chiar atat de rau tinand cont ca nu o sa mai trebuiasca sa astpet 30 de minute ca sa vina urmatorul. Ma gandesc ca la servici cand o sa ajung o sa mananc un castron mare de cereale cu lapte..

cerealele le-am mancat, si acum sunt la cafea - cu toate ca nu imi sta in obiceiuri - am luat si o madeline. Intotdeauna cand vad prajiturile astea, ca niste mini-briose, ma gandesc invariabil la "À la recherche du temps perdu" si scena in care el scufunda o bucata de madeline in ceaiul de tei servit la matusa sa... Explicatia gustului ceaiului si madeline-i sunt atat de reale incat ti se pare ca simti chiar tu bucatica umeda si calda de prajitura..

Ieri m-am vazut cu mirkwood, ultima oara l-am vazut in treacat la Thievery Corporation dar nu am putut sa-l salut datorita faptului ca el era cu o jumatate de sala mai in spate.

Nu sunt sigur daca o sa mai pot merge la ski sau in indonezia datorita banilor in primul rand. se pare ca si pe noi ne-a ajuns criza mondiala...
