Cel mai frumos curcubeu

By -
Cand ati vazut ultima oara curcubeul? Eu l-am vazut in data de 27 septembrie, la aproximativ jumatate de ora de la momentul in ne-a fost inmanata cheia de la apartamentul nostru de catre fostul proprietar. Ramasi singuri in apartament, am cercetat fiecare coltisor, si apoi am avut bucuria de a privi curcubeul de la etajul 8. Nu pot sa descriu bucuria acelei zile si a acelui moment. Mai mult, a doua zi, spre seara, erau si parintii nostri acolo (inca nu eram mutati acolo, dar ne apucasem de lucru), pe cer s-au vazut 2 (!!!!!!!!!!) curcubeie (asta e pluralul! am verificat pe dexonline,ro), e adevarat ca unul dintre ele se vedea mai slab, dar totusi, n-am mai vazut asa ceva niciodata.
Anyway, ne-am mutat de o luna si ne place grozav in noua locuinta. In 2 saptamani vine si mobila de sufragerie si de dormitor si atunci ne va fi si mai bine.

Marriage and work in times of pandemics

"I am sitting at my desk trying to focus on my work, while he's sitting on the opposite site, typing loudly and eating almonds. If he's chewing one more almond like that, I swear I will throw away the bowl. And yes, I'm in a meeting, please don't make any funny noises or swear at your code when I unmute myself to say something." This is just a small snippet out of working from home with my beloved husband during these last months. We're not always at the same desk, but if we need external monitors, then we'd be sat there. Today we're not celebrating our 14th anniversary since I became Mrs Stanciu. Not celebrating the civil ceremony, because we're celebrating the wedding anniversary in September, and because we agreed it will be too much to remember for him. We've been together since 2001, so very close to 20 years now, and we've been through a lot - good and bad. But this, the lockdown and the being at home non stop TOGETHER for ove...

Be like a duck they say

By -
After moving here to the UK, and after Ariana was well settled into the new nursery, I started a new job in IT. It was a complete turn of my career, from academia where I already knew the drills and was comfortably climbing up the professional ladder. So I felt totallyout of my depth, really nervous and soon I realised I had all the reasons to be. I was dealing with all sort of clients, each quite different (in attitude as well as in infrastructure) and every single issue that came up was new and something I've not dealt with before. And then the language barrier - not a massive one, but added up to the load. So one day, a colleague said: be like a duck. I thought, WTF?! So he explained: a duck on the water looks very calm and serene, while under the water is peddling like hell. So when speaking to clients or being on the phone to them, seem like everything's under control and you know exactly what to do, while actually you will do your best to sort out their issue. Do look co...

Carpe diem it is!

2020!!! Less than 3 months ago we were getting fed up with all those positive posts on Facebook about what a fantastic/amazing/ extraordinary year this is going to be!! Then karma went like 'hold my beer' and turned the world upside down. Generally I am quite calm about viruses, flues and other 'light' stuff and ignore all the media around the subject, but last night I found myself wide awake at 3am with my mind wandering in places and couldn't stop it from doing so. I am sure we all stayed awake recently and wondered whatever next. People buying food as if there's no tomorrow, empty shelves, events we were all looking forward to being cancelled, reduced social interaction due to staying home, school closures and most likely a general havoc for many families. WTF 2020?! We had a deal, I know I said you’ll be amazing, asked you to bring it on, was so ready for you, but it was all a façade, it was not the intention to challenge fate. What we really meant is we...
