dolce primavera..

By maria | April 15, 2009

Spring can be felt

because the light gets warmer

because the leaves pop out

because the air gets brighter…because of thousands of other reasons

but today I felt spring in a parcel so sweetly put together by loving hands

that silently told me the story I so longed to hear

the one that only one person in the entire world can murmur so eloquently,

thank U mamix U r the best I could wish for.

Today: splitting headache till 2, 15 minute siesta, food market a must on a saturday, got in touch with a special friend who I had not heard from in 7 months, and skype with another friend who is in ospital in Holland… lost a t-shirt, found a t-shirt, broke a deawer fixed a drawer got a late kind of invite for tango that was half an invite since the milonga was on the other side of Milano and it was kinda late..

got dressed, obsessed about hair, rang friend to make sure I could get a lift back if I went.. got water on clothes… decided that this was not the day, resolved to stay at home

Flicking to my pics I found this one, which I took a few days ago, when with the help of my friend I got a new wardrobe. I was very happy to have one for, since I left Sicily last november this squary box is as far as a phisical home of my own as it gets.
And as I organized my shoes to begin the settling mode, it dawned to me… I have been working around the theme of roots, homecoming and well home… all my life!

It took as much as placing my much treasured shoes down, to realikse that my roots are in my feet.

Probably the picture would have talked to itself, but I had the need to spare the words so lala’ let it be.

come riconoscere un ictus celebrale … potrebbe essere utile

By maria | April 9, 2009

l’ ho ricevuta oggi via mail …e siccome non so mai se invado la posta lo pubblico qui chi lo vuole leggere lo legge chi no no, e speriamo non serva mai:

Come riconoscere un’ictus cerebrale…
Durante una grigliata Federica cade.
Qualcuno vuole chiamare l’ambulanza ma Federica rialzandosi dice di essere inciampata con le scarpe nuove.
Siccome era pallida e tremante la aiutammo a rialzarsi.
Federica trascorse il resto della serata serena ed in allegria.
Il marito di Federica mi telefonò la sera stessa dicendomi che aveva sua moglie in ospedale.
Verso le 23.00 mi richiama e mi dice che Federica è deceduta.

Federica ha avuto un’ictus cerebrale durante la grigliata.
Se gli amici avessero saputo riconoscere i segni di un ‘ictus, Federica sarebbe ancora viva.

La maggior parte delle persone non muoiono immediatamente.
Basta 1 minuto per leggere il seguito:

Un neurologo sostiene che se si riesce ad intervenire entro tre ore dall’attacco si può facilmente porvi rimedio.
Il trucco è riconoscere per tempo l’ictus!!!
Riuscire a diagnosticarlo e portare il paziente entro tre ore in terapia.
Cosa che non è facile.

Nei prossimi 4 punti vi è il segreto per riconoscere se qualcuno ha avuto un’ictus cerebrale:

* Chiedete alla persona di sorridere (non ce la farà);

* Chiedete alla persona di pronunciare una frase completa (esempio: oggi è una bella giornata) e non ce la farà;
* Chiedete alla persona di alzare le braccia (non ce la farà o ci riuscirà solo parzialmente);

* Chiedete alla persona di mostrarvi la lingua (se la lingua è gonfia o la muove solo lateralmente è un segno di allarme).
Nel caso si verifichino uno o più dei sovra citati punti chiamate immediatamente il pronto soccorso.
Descrivete i sintomi della persona per telefono.

Un medico sostiene che se mandate questa è- mail ad almeno 10 persone,
si può essere certi che avremmo salvato la vita di Federica, ed eventualmente anche la nostra.

Sisillian Job Survey March 2009 or… sleepless in Milan

By maria | March 11, 2009

It is no longer the graduate, it is no longer the doctor, the teacher, the chemist, it is no longer any of the previous profession…with the exception of the lawyer figure which lately seems to be able to stay afloat busy in unclear litigation, all other professions seems to be gone out with the wind.

skills one should develop? thick hair on the belly, blank your thoughts,
Market place: free cattle in a polluted environment, short summary of the perfect candidate qualities , Italy 2009.

today and yestardays wanted qualities:

yestarday: know how and specialisation, some thinking accepted
today: non thinking slave preferred best if lobotomised
yestarday: younger than 35 you were too young to hold a proper job
today: older than 35 you are indeed too old
yestarday: companies believed in the quality of the people empoyed and encouraged staying with them.
today: you really are just a number and the less you think the better. Quality does not represent an issue any longer. There is no sequence in the count it all is a random…
yestarday: you needed to be fit and healthy
today: a great deal of ads are directed only to protected categories come first
(which category unemployed healthy woman in full capacity goes under and which is the office that protects us? or is this a manoeuvre to get us disabled so that the insurance company can come get us?)

However, it is true… there is work if you wanna work!
“Arbeit macht frei ” and here comes your freedom, ready and fresh on the plate for you to grab here is your most wanted job: CALL CENTRE OPERATOR!
preferred multilingual, preferred experience, preferred total shift commitment, if you sleep over or sleep under the bridge it is not required but highly recommended.
Skills and Abilities: you should be able to dial numbers, read on a screen, and click on a keyboard; you should be be people oriented, literally oriented to be a pain on the neck and if the people you contact want to hang up, you will become a pain in the hear. Possibly you will deal with angry customers, that have had enough of being rang two years ago, and possibly are working for another call centre. If you don’t mind, if you are seriously committed and if the following description fits your skill and abilities you should give us a call. NANA’

Music: ode to the smiths… when you wake up one day and you discover you are just a RANDOM NUMBER LALA’
