So this is something I've tried not to write here. About who I am. So I worked as a recruiter, and in the last year I had more than 3000 interviews. 3000 stories, 3000 pieces of very different lives. I've seen at least 4 people born in the same day as me and as all my friends and as all my relatives. I've seen very intelligent people, I've seen lots of "less" intelligent people (some of them I didn't know they exist), I've seen mental illness - way too many cases, I've seen energy and laziness and sense of humour and frustration and lots of emotions and characteristics. I've read hundreds of thousands of CVs, I've answered and talked to tens of thousands of unknown people. I've listened to thousands of voices. I've tried to find the best parts of people that were clearly not fit for some jobs, I tried to be as objective as possible, I tried to find solutions where no solution was there at the moment. I think I did my best. I rarely use the word "evaluate", I don't like evaluating people as a job. It's the same every day, it makes you run away from people or at least put a wall in between, it gets you tired.
It's common to people not to draw conclusions, not to think they are doing things that worth telling, just to get used to situations and live them. I probably wouldn't write these lines too if I hadn't decided to change my job on another area of expertise. So there are three days left here and in a way i feel relieved. In many ways, actually. I'm sorry for what I leave behind, but I'm glad in many other ways. In this case, these days I was soo concerned about what I'm leaving behind that I couldn't enjoy what's coming. And I think I did a great job and if I look behind, even if I'm not necessarily searching for learning and experience, I heard a lot, I learned a lot, I accomplished a lot.
So right about now Felix and Julia came, they are staying at my place for a few days. And I went down to get them, they came by taxi and it was a "fake" taxi, and the taxi driver was arguing with them. Actually they paid 20 lei and the taxi driver was saying he told them from the train station that it was 20 lei each, that means 60. They were 3. Then he became a little violent, let's say invading our space, and he was telling me to tell them to give more money. I was telling him that it's illegal what he's doing and at some point when he was more and more violent I told him I might write down his number of the car, to which he answered "It doesn't matter, I have another one in the front". (??)
Anyway, I was calm and sleepy and wearing my cow pijamas and we turned our back and slowly walked away. :))
And tomorrow I'm having a hard day at work, the first of the last 3, and I should get some sleep.
