Today at noon there was the "feast farewell "ENI of a manager who returns home after a year in Luanda. There was a lot of people from all over the world (but mostly Angolan) and was toasted with champagne.
These days we are trying to close all the open points of the system to entice the consumer to use the new system but it is like fighting the waves of the sea. The computers are slow and full of viruses and they almost want to blame me saying that the system does not work ... incredible. Ignorance really pushes people to create a reality that they do not necessarily correspond with the outside, but only matches their desires. Minkium if you do see that with my computer merdaglia this is because You keep saying that it is the fault of the system and not your computer?!?! Mannajaaaaa!
quiet day today, there was nothing particularly new except that Olga and Ilda (the two matrons) verametne did not want to do anything. I was in their office to urge them to do one thing and the phone ringing every two seconds Olga: When was the mother, when her aunt, when her daughter, once a friend .... but what a drag eh ! And the friend who stopped to hear .... and the boss also says that "since Olga? Now you touch lavorareeee! Eheh! "With a perfect accent in Milan, the big boss ...
However, I noticed that this lifestyle of "doing nothing" is very popular here. It seems that no one works, they are all around waiting for the day to end and restart the new one. Who knows what to expect ...
These days also a great doubt has crept into my brain, watching these people makes me think how wrong it is what we do. In essence, we come here because we need the oil. They do not. We let you take but in the here and install our "base", that we do something similar if not identical to the settlements: we build our houses, we build our hospitals, our restaurants, our cooks. Then we get around the barbed wire, guards, and we pay our staff here to do the waiters and renovate the rooms. It does not sound bad? I would not say but it looks like a sort of "soft slavery"? I watched them wandering in the street who walk between a house and another, drive the cars in Europe ... but there is a kind of dissonance. You see that you are accustomed to this way of life. The streets are full of garbage and everything is ruined, the city will be 20 years and no! 20 years! How could it all be destroyed? And 'cause this is not their natural way of living. This is what we have imposed and to which they have never been used, and this is so true that we now need to put barbed wire around our houses ... a way of saying "we have nothing to do with this ".... But what has all this out of tune .. and I'm sorry.
This evening I spent the entire dinner talking to another guy of Belluno working on oil rigs, he is here for nearly three years ago and 28 days and 28 here at home with 12-hour shifts. He told me on the platform of life and all stages of "exploration" in search of oil wells: the first anchor of the mobile platform at the beginning of the drilling and maintenance of submersible motors to 300m below the water level ... . is a chat was priceless. Really. I was open-mouthed for an hour ... This boy 'was in Libya, Congo, Nigeria, now in Angola, yet each takes 28 days and returns to his village in the Alps that stuff .. .. there is really a different world and even knows how many other worlds .. .
I'm too happy.
I go to bed to digest the emotional overload ... : D
