(no subject)
I'm sorry that some people decided to take me off thier friends list, it's true that my journal is barely alive these days, but I keep reading my friends list almost everyday, and if you haven't noticed my presence that's because I'm also a very bad commenter. Please, keep this flawed girl in your lives.
I've finally taken a saturday off from work today. The library is getting busier with tourists around and students revising. I don't even have time to hang around! Har har, I've become a true municipal employee. kidding! I really hate how it generally works (in italy) for town institutions. It's mafia. Like Paola, Lucchi-the-nerd-guy and I were asked to work at the library after we quit on september, but then they opted for some unqualified woman that hasn't spent a day in library, just because she works for some organization that it's involved with the town council and plus she's the daughter of some bloke. We can go further, the councillor who decided this hasn't even have a degree and he works for the municipality because his father did before him. See it's like a russian doll. A russian doll full of crap. My stomach couldn't tollerate the ulcer.
I'm not taking this personally. It might be very italian this kind of submission, but there's nothing you can do really. I have just to "enjoy" my time there, the bad time and the good time.
And in fact despite having a supervisor who doesn't give a damn about who works with her as long as he/she works for her, I love being with Paola, Lucchi-the-nerd-guy (shh!long story) and the girls from the film festival staff, Cristina and Nicoletta. We had a tour-de-force during the organization and the running of the Film Festival and between the laughing, the sulking and the gossiping we all became good friends, we plan to spent a brilliant summer togheter. The festival needed also a graphic designer and a translator so I got some extra pay (+€200) too. And free access. And the goodies! [in that period I managed to gain another €100 for some lame translation for a stupid chocolate fountain manual for an hotel too! extra bonus!]
During the film festival Donn Alan Pennebaker was here! I was an excited little girl.
Summer is arrived at last, it's been too insanely hot to do anything since the end of may, seriously, I'm on vampire-mode already, I stay in the house (and the torrid library) most of the time and go out only at night because it's not recommendable to be in the streets.
When I'm home I keep myself busy making fresh cd compilations for super hot car rides (41.5°C inside my car yesterday -ick!), finally having my roots done (because it's hot to book an appointment at the hairdresser), making list for all the gigs in the summer (we started already!), and watching too many old movies (the beatles' above all the others).
