The jobless day
The other day i had to go very urgently to the dentist. Mine was on holiday, august is hell in Italy, so I was addressed to go to another one. As it was my first visit, I had to fulfil a privacy statement with many information. When the assistant at the desk asked me my working position…I reflected for a while and I thought I was effectively with no “official” job. And she looked at me in a strange way…maybe thinking another aimless graduate, goofing around all the time. And she laughed. When she asked me again when I could go for the second appointment, I said something like:
“Well whenever you want, I have nothing to do”
She hesitated…looked back at me from the tip of my head till my feet.
“So…september 10th?”
“Oh no I’m sorry, I have to go to the EU Parliament”
She started at me…Her disgusted face changed expression.
In the meanwhile doors continued to open and close…automatic devices everywhere. Very “bon ton” people entering and going out, very well dressed, saluting doctors and assistants very warmly, ready to put money in their wallets.
I think I will finish these cycle of medications on the same tooth there, but then I’ll definitely go back to my dentist of the poor people. I have to open the door manually when I enter..but I’ll survive.
It’s incredible to think that it’s not acceptable for some people to have no job and I’m not thinking about the assistant who told me nothing but looked at me as I was unuseful in this society. Everyone is working to get me a job. You have to go there and there, send your resume to that company..oh yes also that school…you should teach….
I didn’t leave my job to find another one. I left my job as it was time for me to do that. I needed to do that before everything started to be ruined. Unfortunately this is the Plan 2 time. I hoped it was not necessary to think at a plan 2, but things sometimes don’t go in the expected direction. Many other things happened in between and I’m like…stuck….
I hoped in something better…just a better summer. My summer has been dark, like never before.
Since I was a child I waited all year long for the summer time. Spring was sunny some months ago and I hoped my summer in the countryside could be fun after so many seasons spent away from here.
Today, I returned to Milan. The aimless graduate with no job interviewed with a company selling new technology courses to companies. Definitely my job, why I didn’t looked for that kind of position in such a commercial division before??
I do not know why I went to this interview. My Professor of maths from high school warmly suggested me to go. So I don’t know what I wanted to demonstrate, or simply I just wanted to be kind to all those people doing me “favors”.
Less than a month passed since last time I’ve been in Milan. To work.
