There is money enough for this. It is possible to give a check to each citizen with the necessary amount to survive with dignity. The Gross Domestic Product of my country is 200 000 Million EUR per year. We are about 12 Million citizens, diaspora included. In my crazy math, there’s more than enough money […]
I’ve been a primary school teacher for twenty years until my mind exploded with major depression and generalized anxiety disorder. While on medical discharge, I’ve tried to get mobility to some other job in the public service. In several interviews I was told to be the ideal candidate. Unfortunately, being my career distinct from the […]
I am fed up of calling attention. I hate trying to make money this way. I loathe social media and Internet dependency. No matter how hard I try, I am not a business person. I’m nothing but a storyteller in need for an income. My job got me crazy. My attempt to make my own […]
Vaccines. Covid out? Trump out! Masks, still. No gatherings, yet. Poverty and unemployment to be continued. Keeping on screwing the environment. Wars. Terrorism. Putin & Pals. Thugs as usual. Full speed China. Warp speed FOMO. Pandemic mental depression. Forced smile totalitarianism. Bullshit layering ad infinitum. Nevertheless, it might be better than 2020.
“Greed is good”, said Gordon Gekko. The search for income is making me tolerant to barbarities like this. Unemployment ignites the devil in us. One doesn’t know whether to hate oneself for the incapability of getting a job or the greedy individual one is becoming. Not to mention the hatred for the stupidity of hating […]
I’m really not good at this. Commerce is not my thing. The blog and the Etsy shop are only a desperate attempt to find an alternative to my soon to be abandoned job. I’ve been doing my best to leave in style, that is, without a gap between sources of income, but that is not […]
People are dying. People are fired. People are broke. People are numbers. The first sentence refers to the pandemic. The other three are day-to-day economics, now stressed by the first one. I am neither an economist, a capitalist, a communist, a business manager or an union delegate. Therefore I cherished the dream of this intensification […]
“WHY DID YOU CHOOSE TO WORK WITH US?” Because I’m unemployed, for Christ’s sake! I applied for this job and dozens of others! I need the money! I am capable of managing the bloody tasks you’re offering! I have the God damn hard and soft skills! I am clean and look good! I have the […]
Familiar places disappear. You can only see fractions and hope they will guide your path, along with past experience. Memories. Things are radically different when you cross new territory in a foggy day. No guide whatsoever except common sense. You just keep moving forward, taking decisions with hints instead of references. Such is my life […]
As the days pass by the more I feel the boiling oil and the flames I’ll jump into. I am doing my best to remain cool at hellish temperatures. I try to remember myself how lucky I have been and the astonishing number of people who are living the hell I am plunging into, in […]
