Slogan About Billiard

Thrown in tourism, a f ** o! (Article for Abattoir.it)

Lately, I do not know if you noticed, it became difficult to find a job. What a fool! but it is obvious that there be realized! I for two whole months I did nothing but get up in the morning, post resumes and conduct interviews, from which I was categorically rejected. One day, tired of the usual sites such infojob and stuff like that, I decided to concentrate and think about how to use my resources on the basis of what surrounds me. Since they are of Trapani, a charming Sicilian town, whale me with the idea to focus on tourism. What a brilliant idea! The province of Trapani is always flooded with tourists during the summer. So looking looking I found one of these jobs from peanuts, for only three months, where you work all day and stay in touch with the people: promoting tourism. Now I'm here, sitting at the picturesque harbor, lulled by the sound of the waves breaking on the hull. I take long walks through the wall that runs along the breakwater, kids who improvise skilled fishermen, sailors from the tanned skin (not in a Berlusconi) that weave networks, Senegalese and Moroccans who prepare their stalls and above them tourists.
There are various types of tourist: the rich is extremely rich, you know it because it goes around in shorts and loafers and polo signed with dachshund as a result, there is what he wants to do the "smart holidays, even if started in August, but insists on saving every penny possible, you know it when it asks you a discount on a ticket 20 euro, then there is the naive who do not even know where that went on vacation, you know it when it asks if you can go from Trapani Mothia canoe.
now I can make any kind of tourist who comes to me for boat trips. Most are around furtively around my desk, throwing the eye from time to time on some billboard, and when I call them asking if they like the information, make a little smile and say 'I was reading ... "when I think," but much more than I'll need, because the bill does not say the price, stupid! "and in fact, right in time came up with the demand of one million dollars! Some come with brisk and steady gaze, I stood before you and say, "So, how does it work?". I never know what to say to this type of tourist is the one that wants to know everything, which is a thousand questions that he believes to be smart when in fact they are completely unnecessary or inappropriate, let me explain what is not an accident that sell services, but I anticipate requests and assumptions. Over time, the question "So how does it work?" I got into the habit of answering "motor." The answer that I love but most of all, and according to which the customer reacts in different ways, is "one euro kg ". Who say so? To those tourists who, as I am Sicilian, think that hiking is something superfluous, and would almost do us a favor. This approach, with a smile that means everything, and I do, "Ms. ... (pause) How much?"

that these days will be hard to find a job, but with tourists now is almost impossible to work and succeeded at the end of the day, not to hate the human race. I just hope not to be cagacazzi I also so when I go on vacation!
