Frustrated, Fluffy and Fierce

the topics of the day that did not let go of me until I served them their due thought

5001 On the opportunity of getting fired

Good bye corporate world, you were not such an inhuman hell as I imagined you to be - before I even got to know you. Perhaps you were a bit ... way-too-human. Farewells for now, with no handkerchiefs and no tears. Confessions of a once anti-capitalist, anti-technocrat, anti-establishment esoteric being on his ironic decade-long journey through the most unwanted but quite enriching experience.

5002 That 21st century job-hunting

What is your singular passion? What professional-life-realted activities do you do in your free time? How do you manage stress overload? How do you multitask? How do you want to contribute to our company? Would you be enthusiast to do it if the money was not involved? A cynical take on the HR pseudo-questions and surreal cult(ure)s. Why do we all have to fake it till we make it - because someone did not do their homework?

5003 A generalist stranded on the planet of specialists

Being at the right place at the right time, with everything you need to play your part well ... while nobody believes (in) you. The most personal sharing so far - a story of my odd and perilous journey through the (not only) professional life. A cacophony of the "misfortunes", dead-ends and disillusionment that might perhaps rhyme at the end.

5004 I don't do sports, I just move

Advocating for the change of paradigm in the physical activities - from competition to cooperation, from specializing towards developing the generalist capabilities. Shifting from the narcissist "exercise" and "workout" - running the rounds, inflating the muscles, clenching the teeth, breaking the records (and one's body on the way) - towards a more sensible and sustainable movement practice, that helps oneself and potentially saves lives.
