Un simpatico anonimo mi ha recentemente dato della “faccia di culo” perchè mi lamento del carico di lavoro eccessivo, sostenendo che fare il consulente, alla fine, non è nemmeno un “vero lavoro”.
Pregiudizio classico e diffuso, certo. E se questo mestiere somigliasse al pregiudizio che io stesso ne avevo prima di incontrare i miei futuri colleghi […]
“So what are you going to do for your vacations?”
“May I remind you we are all consultants around this table? What do you mean with ‘vacation’?”
Ob, thanks a lot for your proposal of publishing my posts while I am at the Star Ac’, but I have just cracked the WiFi connection and I can provide […]
Just to inform you (several hundreds of) readers that I will be more or less off-line for a week, as I’m taking part into a sort of training program called “the European Basic Skills Training 1″, with a few dozens colleagues from the rest of Europe. We are supposed to follow some conference and have […]
It was not a brand new sensation that caught me yesterday night while walking away from the office.
It was the same, complex feeling I felt two months ago when the danish project was over and I did not know what was lying ahead.

In risposta a questo post.
Mimi, scrivere piace a molta gente. E pochissima sa farlo veramente - soprattutto tra i giornalisti.
Ora, alcuni di noi scrivacchiano ogni tanto, per motivi più o meno manifesti di autocompiacimento e di consolazione.
Tu invece sai scrivere sul serio. Scrivi di quelle cose che - direbbe Holden Caulfield - “ti fanno […]
During a one-hour boat trip across the channels in Xochimilco, I have been offered the following items to purchase:
six different beer types in an ice bucket
six different soda types in another ice bucket
a tablecloth with a picture of the Aztec Sun Stone
a polaroid photo
a red green and yellow poncho (could be used as a carpet […]
It’s three in the morning, here.
And I’m getting up at six (again).
I should get more sleep.
Maybe it would help to find some inspiration…
I know I should just try and write.
Forget about the white page syndrome, don’t try to write something impressive or even interesting, just write. Lay down facts. And there are plenty: a whole Moleskine of ideas, impressions, quotes, stuff I’d love to shape and model into a post. Yet I can’t and I don’t know […]
