This morning I finally woke up early to get my bank issue done.
Which I had to transfer my rent and apply for automatic payment every month to my landlord.
I found everyone was smiling to me, even when I said"I need to transfer my money every month to a person" in Italian..... hahahah..anyway, I was suprised how come everyone is so nice.
Made me wonder, that I shouldn't be so scared that I have to deal with these issues alone.
By trying to speak their langugage earns me some respect from the local, althought not everyone, however , it's enough to encourage me to keep improving language.
Especially after I had finished all the application, I felt super great (although it's a really easy task,but I am really happy that step and step I am fitting in the life in Italy).
Afternoon, someone called me from Vodafone (Please pay really attention) that they are promoting a new internet service, which I really need like hell this period (already survive one month without wifi home...)
Strangely he didn't mention too much about how much GB that this 19 euro will offer every month, instead he is proceeding already the contract on the internet, and inform me that after 8-10 days it'll arrive the contract.
After the contract, will arrive their co-worker to set up my wifi home bla bla bla.
Then started to ask me:
birth
address
codice fiscale
No. Passport (which I found really wired to give someone my passport number by the phone)
Bank account number ????????????????????????????? I mean really???
I didn't give him the passport number and the bank account because like I explained to him, I really dont feel comfortable to give my personal informations on the phone with someone called me from 09xxxxxxx (not even from the office in Milan).. anyway I told him try to call me back that I'll pass to an italian friend.
He couldn't understand at the end how come I can't give him my account number and passport number.....(well, maybe because it's not normal to tell a stranger who you might never got the chance to find who he really is in the future the info so important)
nothitng really particular today, however, I felt really rested and happy.
Maybe because when I actually front my life, I found that I can or I could handle it better even without any help.
I start to like the feelings to be independent... ;)
At work today, the lady (who had yelled at me and others already for more than years) yelled at me again.......I decided to fight back.
Which I told her, you shouldnt have to yell, this is not a serious thing that you need to yell.
And plus you guys made mistakes as well, so really, honestly you dont have the right to yell.
For the first time that I said something back, which I should had done that long time ago.
It's not becoming one of them, but to stand up for myself.
There is a big difference between yelling and comunicating.
Which I always thinking that comunicating should be tender and be soft...however, if you just express the reality without any emotions, it's also another way to comunicate.
I am surprised by my reactions as well...but I am proud of myself.
Standing up for myself.
Cheers for a day like this.
