Am visat ca eram in anul 2020. Adică 2020 e oarecum ficțiune, da’ așa am visat. Se făcea ca eram la Bruxelles (haha!), sa mă înțelegeți, acolo as fi ales eu in viitor sa trăiesc. Întrebându- ma, așa retoric, de ce am ales acest loc dintre atâtea altele, nu am știut sa imi răspund. Dar… Continue reading Lockdown à la belgè

The social animal
“Man is by nature a social animal; an individual who is unsocial naturally and not accidentally is either beneath our notice or more than human. Society is something that precedes the individual. Anyone who either cannot lead the common life or is so self-sufficient as not to need to, and therefore does not partake of… Continue reading The social animal
Dear recruiters, I’ve had it with you
In the past year or so I have applied for hundred of jobs. And I have had quite a few interviews also. I must tell you that what I have experienced is a complete lack of civility, politeness and empathy. Sure I am whining and sure, I am angry. But I am not trying to… Continue reading Dear recruiters, I’ve had it with you
The selfie element
A (not so) long ago selfies were not even in the cards. As (by all!) known in 2013 the word "selfie" got a place in the Oxford English Dictionary by beating out "twerk" and "bitcoin" for the "word of the year" something. Yes, it's officially official. While I didn't had much against this phenomena or… Continue reading The selfie element
Creme de la creme or an (almost) complete guide on how to be a moron
Top questions/remarks that I get these days in the fabulous museum that I work, from visitors: Where are we? What is here? What is the museum about? (It is called house of EUROPEAN HISTORY) Where am I? (Really?) What is the temporary exhibition about? Could you please explain to me? No. You look like you… Continue reading Creme de la creme or an (almost) complete guide on how to be a moron
No hashtag reminder, y’all know what i am talking about
I refuse to add the (in)famous hashtag #metoo because we all know what it is all about. We don't need a hashtag reminder, really. It is exhausting. We all know that once in a lifetime all women deal with this crap. I am reading these days testimonies of the women that have been or felt… Continue reading No hashtag reminder, y’all know what i am talking about
Yes, I am complaining about you complaining
Since some long time I've got this aversion to people that are always complaining. It's a long story and sometimes I retain my complaining until It burst in (crazy) anger, but that's another issue. That I'll discuss in private with specialised help. Don't get me wrong, I know that we all complain often about various… Continue reading Yes, I am complaining about you complaining
Mooning around
" Informal Mooning definition: expose one's buttocks to someone in order to insult or amuse them." From the category "Stories at the museum" today I share with you one of the funniest (!literally depending on how you look at it) true story. So, there is this museum: there is history, projections, and predictions about Europe, wars,… Continue reading Mooning around
I want my Innsæi back
Seeing this documentary, I started to wonder where my "sea within" has gone. And I came up with a not so different narrative. As a little girl I thought that the world is limited to the universe that was around me: the grey communist building I was living surrounded by even more morose buildings in… Continue reading I want my Innsæi back
You know nothing Jon Snow
If you are unfamiliar with the term "mansplaining", the dictionary definition describes it as: "to comment on or explain something to a woman in a condescending, overconfident, and often inaccurate or oversimplified manner" assuming that she doesn't know or couldn't possibly understand any of the explanation - I would add. The best I found on the… Continue reading You know nothing Jon Snow
